mwifiex: Do not change bss_type in change_virtual_intf

gbhat-marvell · Kalle Valo · commit 4d7ab36f0c47 · 2017-06-28T20:52:21.000+03:00
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.
