Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: use the PROBE_RESP_QUEUE to send deauth to unknown station
From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit d45cb20e123c5d7d6cd56301bc98f0bfd725cd77 ]
When we send a deauth to a station we don't know about, we
need to use the PROBE_RESP queue. This can happen when we
send a deauth to a station that is not associated to us.
