4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4e39ccac0d678eacb5dd6ffc5057531af33c12d6 upstream.
DFS channels should not be actively scanned as we can't be sure
if we are allowed or not.
If the current channel is in the DFS band, active scan might be
performed after CSA, but we have no guarantee about other channels,
therefore it is safer to prevent active scanning at all.
