mwifiex: fix bug in mwifiex_save_curr_bcn()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since timestamp in beacon buffer keeps changing all the time,
the memcmp check in mwifiex_save_curr_bcn() is redundant.
Remove that memcmp check and also avoid freeing and allocation
of buffer if required beacon buffer size is same as previous one.
