Ok. We will make use of nl80211 feature flags in updated version so that these capabilities will be advertised to userspace as well.

As per our understanding, scheduled scan is triggered from application. Driver/hardware will keep on scanning the network periodically using specified time interval and provide scan results to cfg80211.

We have added code (v3 patch 4/5) to flush older scan entries whenever new results are available. scan_start time is used for this. Everytime it's getting modified to "jiffies + interval" for future use.

Please let's know your comments.

Thanks,
