Fix this by splitting up cfg80211 scan requests by
band -- recalculating the IEs every time -- and
requesting only per-band scans from the driver.

Incidentally, this means that dual-band drivers now absolutely need to
take a look at the scan channel list that is provided since if they
ignore it they will end up doing two full scans instead of one. Since
wl1271 is the only driver this affects right now, and its 5ghz support
is disabled, this seems ok to me.

Sorry for the late response.

This is fine with me. We added one item to handle this on our 5GHz TODO list. We're unfortunately not working with 5GHz at the moment, but we'll hopefully do so in the near future (prioritization and stuff).

I said to you that I would add a FIXME in the code, but I think this is not really necessary, because 5GHz is not fully working anyway, there is definitely still some work to be done (and that's why it is disabled).
