Subject: staging: rtl8723bs: Pass correct parameters to cfg80211_get_bss()
From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit d17789edd6a8270c38459e592ee536a84c6202db upstream.
To last 2 parameters to cfg80211_get_bss() should be of
the enum ieee80211_bss_type resp. enum ieee80211_privacy types,
which WLAN_CAPABILITY_ESS very much is not.
Fix both cfg80211_get_bss() calls in ioctl_cfg80211.c to pass
the right parameters.
Note that the second call was already somewhat fixed by commenting
out WLAN_CAPABILITY_ESS and passing in 0 instead. This was still
not entirely correct though since that would limit returned
BSS-es to ESS type BSS-es with privacy on.
