Subject: mac80211: Remove invalid flag operations in mesh TSF synchronization
From: Masashi Honma <masashi.honma@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 76f43b4c0a9337af22827d78de4f2b8fd5328489 ]
mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt() implements Extensible synchronization
framework ([1] 13.13.2 Extensible synchronization framework). It shall
not operate the flag "TBTT Adjusting subfield" ([1] 8.4.2.100.8 Mesh
Capability), since it is used only for MBCA ([1] 13.13.4 Mesh beacon
collision avoidance, see 13.13.4.4.3 TBTT scanning and adjustment
procedures for detail). So this patch remove the flag operations.
