Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: Do not change bss_type in change_virtual_intf
Git-commit: 4d7ab36f0c47c9ed5fa2391e77f3b3cb0e23c9dd
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
References: FATE#326294
When user adds a virtual interface driver will set the
bss_type to the iface_type given by the user. When
supplicant is started on the same interface, a call to
change_virtual_intf will be triggered if if_type is not
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION. Here driver should not update
it's bss_type, because bss_type is intended to indicate
the original iface_type and changing the same will defeat
the purpose of creating this interface.
