nl80211: add an attribute to allow delaying the first scheduled scan cycle
The userspace may want to delay the the first scheduled scan or net-detect cycle. Add an optional attribute to the scheduled scan configuration to pass the delay to be (optionally) used by the driver. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com> [add the attribute to the policy to validate it] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
