Why would cfg80211 drivers not support this? There is already a pending
patch set to make ath6kl report scan results during the scan with
cfg80211_inform_bss_frame() so all it would need to do is to add another
call for cfg80211_send_intermediate_result() to support this... That
brings up a question: Do we need to have this new function or would it
be feasible for cfg80211 to generate the intermediate reports
automatically based on cfg80211_inform_bss{,_frame}() calls during the
scan?
