This patchset adds support for FILS discovery transmission as per
IEEE Std 802.11ai-2016.

This is the next version in the series given below:
FILS discovery and bcast probe resp support.
Unsolicited broadcast probe response support is now split into
a separate patchset.

Hi Aloka,

What is your motivation for the split? As you stated earlier FILS discovery and unsollicited probe responses are mutual exclusive as it only eats up airtime to do both. I tend to agree to that earlier statement so I would like to see some arguments for doing the split.

Regards,
Arend
