Hi Arend,
I found that if any application sends
NL80211_ATTR_UNSOL_BCAST_PROBE_RESP with
NL80211_UNSOL_BCAST_PROBE_RESP_INT=0 (which means disable) for 2.4/5GHz,
the check here resulted in AP not being brought up.
Technically disabling this feature for 2.4/5GHz is not required as it is
disabled by default but it should not cause issues if done so
explicitly. Hence I removed the check here so that drivers can decide to
use/ignore this attribute.
