Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: check TLV flag before trying to use hotspot
firmware commands
From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 5ac6c72e594471acfa5b00210c51d533a73413ad upstream.
Older firmwares do not provide support for the HOT_SPOT_CMD command.
Check for the appropriate TLV flag that declares hotspot support in
the firmware to prevent a firmware assertion failure that can be
triggered from the userspace,
