Yeah. I was afraid it would not make it in 4.6.

Looking at it

+       /* user-space did not provide behaviour attribute */
+       if (bss_select->behaviour == __NL80211_BSS_SELECT_ATTR_INVALID)
+               return -EINVAL;
+
+       if (!(wiphy->bss_select_support & BIT(bss_select->behaviour)))
+               return -EINVAL;

the first check is (and already was) redundant.

Arend
