From: Alexander Bondar <alexander.bondar@xxxxxxxxx> Currently, mac80211 assumes that connection monitor offload for BSS station implies that the device: - sends periodic keep alive packets to associated AP - monitors missed beacons - actively probes the AP in case of missed beacons In case of poor connection conditions it expects the function ieee80211_connection_loss() to be called by driver. However, some devices implement connection monitor offload excluding active AP probing. To allow them to call ieee80211_beacon_loss() cleanly, remove the warning there and thus allow them to use mac80211 for the AP probing even if connection monitor offload is supported.
