That's probably fine, but it should be noted that reserving a slot for
the wildcard SSID in all scan requests would be pretty heavy extra
latency for drivers that support only a small number of SSIDs (say, 2).
Anyway, I'm not aware of such driver, so I think I'd accept such a patch
with the understanding that most drivers support something closer to 16
SSIDs where the impact would be minimal.
