This ensure that previous association attempts do not leave stale statuses on subsequent attempts. This fixes the WARN_ON(!cr->bss)) from __cfg80211_connect_result() when connecting to an AP after a previous connection failure (e.g. where EAP fails due to incorrect psk but association succeeded). In some scenarios, indeed, brcmf_is_linkup() was reporting a link up event too early due to stale BRCMF_VIF_STATUS_ASSOC_SUCCESS bit, thus reporting to cfg80211 a connection result with a zeroed bssid (vif->profile.bssid is still empty), causing the WARN_ON due to the call to cfg80211_get_bss() with the empty bssid.

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.
