Hi Johannes,

Trivial advertisement will not work because mac80211_hwsim_beacon_tx() 
does not handle the EMA case which may have more than one beacons 
transmitted.
It will need to be changed to use the newly added 
ieee80211_beacon_get_template().

Hence I will add a separate change for HWSIM.

Thanks.
