Subject: mac80211: advance the state machine immediately if no delay is needed
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f502d09b750437a4ec9c63333acf1070fe7958af;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

mac80211: advance the state machine immediately if no delay is needed

Instead of queueing the scan work again without delay just process the
next state immediately.
