Thanks four your detailed review. I did see the code and not sure if
brcmf_notify_escan_complete
would be triggered for sure. So in the first version I want to delete
the pending timer ahead of time.
As I'm not very familiar with the logic here. I'm still not sure if we
should delete the timer_shutdown_sync.
Looking forward to your reply :)

```cpp
if (cfg->int_escan_map || cfg->scan_request) {
    escan->escan_state = WL_ESCAN_STATE_IDLE;
    brcmf_notify_escan_complete(cfg, escan->ifp, true, true);
  }
```

Best regards,
Zheng
