BCM4320a devices do not return bss for currently connected AP in bss-list,
althought this is required by NDIS specs. Missing bss leads to warning at
net/wireless/sme.c:__cfg80211_connect_result(), WARN_ON(!bss).
Workaround this by crafting bss manually with information we can read from
device. Workaround is only used when device bss-list does not return current
bss, and so is only used with BCM4320a devices and not newer BCM4320b ones.
Fixes bug #20152.

BCM4320a devices seem to sometimes do scanning pretty poorly. This can be
workaround by issuing new scan every second, while not yet connected. By this
new scanning method device catches beacons much faster. Fixes bug #20822.
