This check was added by commit b5257c952dda24df7078c74b7b811b44c6e49206 as part of workaround for hardware issue. Commit 2e42e4747ea72943c21551d8a206b51a9893b1e0 that replaced compare_ether_addr with ether_addr_equal relieved that this compare to be inverse of what it should be. Compare was added as response to hardware bug, where bssid-list does not contain BSSID and other information of currently connected AP (spec insists that device must provide this information in the list when connected). Lack bssid-data on current connection then causes WARN_ON somewhere in cfg80211. Workaround was to check if bssid-list returns current bssid and if it does not, manually construct bssid information in other ways. And this workaround worked, with inverse check. Which must mean that when hardware is experiencing the problem, it's actually returning empty bssid-list and this check didn't make any difference for workaround. However inverse check causes workaround be activated when bssid-list returns only entry, currently connected BSSID. That does not cause problems in itself, just slightly more inaccurate information in scan-list. Cc: Joe Perches Cc: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Jussi Kivilinna Signed-off-by: John W.
