Hmm, what would a scan-sequence help in the case when mac80211 updates
a BSS because of a received beacon?

E.g.:

scan trigger, seq 5:
  find AP 'XXX', signal -50
  find AP 'YYY', signal -60
scan trigger, seq 6:
  find AP 'ZZZ', signal -55
normal operation:
  beacon for 'YYY' comes in, signal -45
scan-dump:
  get 'XXX', signal -50, seq 5
  get 'ZZZ', signal -55, seq 6
  get 'YYY', signal -45, but with which seq?
