+ Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: Fix NL80211_ATTR_SMPS_MODE encoding

+ 

+ This nl80211 attribute uses NLA_U8 policy in cfg80211 and

+ hostapd/wpa_supplicant needs to use same size when writing the

+ attribute.

+ 

+ This fixes AP mode regression triggered by kernel commit "net: netlink:

+ Update attr validation to require exact length for some types" in

+ v4.15-rc1 that resulted in the following debug log entry when trying to

+ enable beaconing:

+ nl80211: Beacon set failed: -34 (Numerical result out of range)

+ 

+ Fixes: da1080d7215f ("nl80211: Advertise and configure SMPS modes")

+ Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni@qca.qualcomm.com>
