qcacmn: Fix connection issue with hidden ssid in DFS channel
Repeater AP failed to associate to Root AP with
hidden ssid in DFS channel.
Normally probe request is sent in passive channels if beacon
from AP is found. With strict passive scan, probe request is
not sent in passive channels even after beacon is found in that
channel.
If AP is configured in hidden ssid, Client/STA does not get the
Probe Response and thus, no SSID information is present in the
scan table to start authentication.
To overcome this, user needs to set the desired {BSSID, SSID} pair,
Example: Desired pair = {00:03:7F:AA:BB:CC, MOON1},
so that when driver receives a beacon it compares the
BSSID and updates the SSID field to update the scan table.
In general, we already set the ssid in sta configuration
But in this case, we also need to configure BSSID of the hidden AP.
This can be configured through iwpriv cmd.
Example: iwpriv athx conf_bssid 11:03:7F:46:03:17
