Subject: brcmfmac: disable MBSS feature for BCM43362
From: Arend van Spriel <arend@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f93a25b38cbd840f26c9fd2dd8a6611a57b259b7 upstream.
The BCM43362 firmware falsely reports it is capable of providing
MBSS. As a result AP mode no longer works for this device. Therefor
disable MBSS in the driver for this chipset.
