Enabling this flag, ensures that reg_call_notifier is called on beacon hints from handle_reg_beacon in cfg80211. This call propagates the channel property changes to ath10k driver, thus changing the channel property from passive scan to active scan based on beacon hints. Once the channels are rightly changed from passive to active,the connection to hidden SSID does not fail.
