There seems to be a problem. It sometimes loops inside of
cancel_rearming_delayed_work forever. So I tried to fix it like this:
	if (local->scan_work.data)
		cancel_rearming_delayed_work(&local->scan_work);
This fixes the case where we don't scan (have no STA), so don't
initialize the work struct.

But it still loops infinite, sometimes.
Any suggestions?
