Driver's SME is allowed to fill either BSSID or BSS pointers in struct
cfg80211_connect_resp_params when indicating connect response but a
check in __cfg80211_connect_result() is giving unnecessary warning when
driver's SME fills only BSSID pointer and not BSS pointer in struct
cfg80211_connect_resp_params.
In case of mac80211 with auth/assoc path, it is always expected to fill
BSS pointers in struct cfg80211_connect_resp_params when calling
__cfg80211_connect_result() since cfg80211 must have hold BSS pointers
in cfg80211_mlme_assoc().
So, skip the check for the drivers which support cfg80211 connect
callback, for example with brcmfmac is one such driver which had the
warning:
WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 514 at net/wireless/sme.c:786 __cfg80211_connect_result+0x2fc/0x5c0 [cfg80211]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
