Subject: [PATCH 3.13 23/99] iwlwifi: mvm: disable scheduled scan

3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit 0822afe8ebb9389997ef677447c7b08e08797de9 upstream.

The iwlwifi scheduled scan implementation doesn't adhere to the
userspace API correctly - the API assumes that any new incoming
'incompatible' request (like scan or remain-on-channel for this
driver) will just cancel the scheduled scan. Instead our driver
relies on userspace cancelling it, thus breaking existing wpa_s
versions.

Fixes: 35a000b7c1bb ("iwlwifi: mvm: support sched scan if supported by the fw")
