This patch is taken from the following wpa_supplicant development thread:

https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/hostap/2025-May/043475.html

This should fix an issue with the broadcom wl driver where AP scans don't work. This is a combination of two separate patches that are already in the upstream git repo, but not in the released version.

While this PR does affect all users - it's less of a hack and more of a bugfix for some faulty behavior in wpa_supplicant (not honoring a driver capability flag).

ok the patch looks fine, just not in buildroot as it may get lost with updates. add it to board/batocera/patches/wpa_supplicant.
