Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: fix antenna selection when BT is active
From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 923a8c1d8069104726bde55c37cec66324ccc328 upstream.
When BT is active, we want to avoid the shared antenna for
management frame to make sure we don't disturb BT. There
was a bug in that code because it chose the antenna
BIT(ANT_A) where ANT_A is already a bitmap (0x1). This
means that the antenna chosen in the end was ANT_B.
While this is not optimal on devices with 2 antennas (it'd
disturb BT), it is critical on single antenna devices like
3160 which couldn't connect at all when BT was active.
This fixes:
