Subject: [PATCH 4.13 150/160] brcmfmac: setup passive scan if requested by user-space

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

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

From: Arend Van Spriel <arend.vanspriel@...adcom.com>

commit 35f62727df0ed8e5e4857e162d94fd46d861f1cf upstream.

The driver was not properly configuring firmware with regard to the
type of scan. It always performed an active scan even when user-space
was requesting for passive scan, ie. the scan request was done without
any SSIDs specified.
