mac80211: accept public action frames with mismatched BSSID
Arik's patch "mac80211: allow action frames with unknown BSSID in GO mode" allowed any action frames in P2P mode to go through, but only to cooked monitor interfaces as the IEEE80211_RX_RA_MATCH was still cleared. As a result my no-monitor patches broke invitation responses. Instead of allowing any action frames in P2P GO mode to go through with a wrong BSSID like that patch did, allow all public action frames. They will never be processed by mac80211, but can be reported via nl80211 then. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
