OK, that sounds reasonable. It sounds like we should try to eventually
try to get some of those scan changes into upstream..

I actually have a git repository with the latest chromiumos hostap.git
rebased on top on hostap.git master and with patches a bit cleaned up
and merged together to keep things in easier to track state.

At the moment, it looks like this (the "[NO]" prefix identifies commits
that are not applicable to upstream):


Anush Elangovan (1):
      [NO] CHROMIUMOS: Setup code review inheritance

Nathan Williams (1):
      [NO] CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: Permit the at_console user access

Paul Stewart (3):
      CHROMIUMOS: bgscan: Add centralized signal_monitor
      CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: Refinements to fast-scan backoff
      [NO] CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: Create presubmit config for wpa_supplicant

Ryan Cairns (1):
      [NO] CHROMIUMOS: Adds a link from . to hostap.git

Sam Leffler (11):
      CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: add fast reconnect support
      CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: Accept raw PMK in new DBus API
      CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: filter scan results during fast reconnect
      CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: handle auth failure during fast reconnect
      wpa_supplicant: add support for tx aborting a scan
      bgscan_simple: mark scans so that tx will abort
      wpa_supplicant: do not expire bss entries when a scan is aborted
      [NO] CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: change dbus access policy
      [NO] CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: remove d-bus specification for the old api
      [NO] CHROMIUMOS: do not auto-startup wpa_supplicant
      CHROMIUMOS: wpa_supplicant: improve roaming when noise floor available
