For the dbus interface implementation for WPS I just copied the
behaviour of the control interface. Anyway, "any" doesn't collide with
any valid BSSID, and "ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff" can still be used.

As I see in wps_supplicant.c, wpas_wps_add_network() does the same for
both cases (bssid=NULL and bssid='ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff'), it isn't? But
for 'ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff' it loops over the scan results looking for an
AP with this bssid (that is not going to find).

Should I use NULL bssid when 'ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff' is received as I do
with 'any' now?
