Assuming this was for probe request.. I'm actually planning on adding
support to pass the extra IEs into hw_scan handler, so that would need
to revert this type of patch for probe req should one make in. Anyway,
that will also make it more difficult to figure out whether the IEs can
actually be added since the driver would need to somehow indicate
whether it supports this or not.
