mac80211: remove direct probe step before authentication
The direct probe step before authentication was done mostly for two reasons: 1) the BSS data could be stale 2) the beacon might not have included all IEs The concern (1) doesn't really seem to be relevant any more as we time out BSS information after about 30 seconds, and in fact the original patch only did the direct probe if the data was older than the BSS timeout to begin with. This condition got (likely inadvertedly) removed later though. Analysing this in more detail shows that since we mostly use data from the association response, the only real reason for needing the probe response was that the code validates the WMM parameters, and those are optional in beacons. As the previous patches removed that behaviour, we can now remove the direct probe step entirely. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
