    mwifiex: MAC randomization should not be persistent · a32a0c82

    commit 7e2f18f0 upstream.
    
    nl80211 provides the NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR for every scan
    request that should be randomized; the absence of such a flag means we
    should not randomize. However, mwifiex was stashing the latest
    randomization request and *always* using it for future scans, even those
    that didn't set the flag.
    
    Let's zero out the randomization info whenever we get a scan request
    without NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR. I'd prefer to remove
    priv->random_mac entirely (and plumb the randomization MAC properly
    through the call sequence), but the spaghetti is a little difficult to
    unravel here for me.
    
    Fixes: c2a8f0ff ("mwifiex: support random MAC address for scanning")
