ath10k: Fix missing frame timestamp for beacon/probe-resp
[ Upstream commit e6dfbc3ba90cc2b619229be56b485f085a0a8e1c ]
When receiving a beacon or probe response, we should update the
boottime_ns field which is the timestamp the frame was received at.
(cf mac80211.h)
This fixes a scanning issue with Android since it relies on this
timestamp to determine when the AP has been seen for the last time
(via the nl80211 BSS_LAST_SEEN_BOOTTIME parameter).
Fixes: 5e3dd157d7e7 ("ath10k: mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac CQA98xx devices")
