Yes, this should be "tsf", it's actually labelled explicitly as such. I
know Android used to get this wrong and *even test* it wrongly, but
that's no excuse.

However, should switch this to cfg80211_inform_bss_data() and use the
timestamp set up here to fill the cfg80211_inform_bss::boottime_ns
value. That's also sent to userspace in the proper way for this.
