Subject: [PATCH 3.16 282/357] brcmfmac: handle IF event for P2P_DEVICE interface

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

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

From: Arend van Spriel <arend@...adcom.com>

commit 87c4790330810fe5caf0172d9320cf24ef19cebe upstream.

The firmware notifies about interface changes through the IF event
which has a NO_IF flag that means host can ignore the event. This
behaviour was introduced in the driver by:

  commit 2ee8382fc6c763c76396a6aaff77a27089eed3aa
  Author: Arend van Spriel <arend@...adcom.com>
  Date:   Sat Aug 10 12:27:24 2013 +0200

      brcmfmac: ignore IF event if firmware indicates it

It turns out that the IF event for the P2P_DEVICE also has this
flag set, but the event should not be ignored in this scenario.
The mentioned commit caused a regression in 3.12 kernel in creation
of the P2P_DEVICE interface.
