I done some analysis and it looks like during cfg80211_conn_work() the 
wdev->conn->params.bssid is NULL, this gets passed to cfg80211_conn_do_work() 
which hits the CFG80211_CONN_ASSOC_FAILED label of the switch statement where 
ether_addr_equal() compares the NULL bssid via ether_addr_equal().

Qasim
