Remove the & operator to make brcmf_dbg("%pM") and memcmp() behave as expected. This bug have been found using a custom static checker (which checks the usage of %p... attributes at build time). It has been introduced in commit 6c404f34f2bd ("brcmfmac: Cleanup pmksa cache handling code"), which replaced pmksa->bssid by &pmksa->bssid while refactoring the code, without modifying struct cfg80211_pmksa definition. Replace &pmk[i].bssid with pmk[i].bssid too to make the code clearer, this change does not affect the semantic.
