Description

LinuxKPI: 802.11: improve scan handling

Under certain circumstances a hw_scan may be downgraded to a software
scan. Handle these situations better and make sure we free resources
in all cases once. [1]

Also leave a note about scanning all bands (or we would have to switch
bands manually).

In both cases hardware doing and driver saying seem not entirely
consistent for all and all firmware.
