Hi Caesar,
It proved to be a feature to get better scan result from overlapping channel,
introduced in
commit 1b499cb72f26bbf44f2fa158c2d1487730aae96a
Author: Amitkumar Karwar <akar...@marvell.com>

mwifiex: disable channel filtering feature in firmware
As 2.4Ghz channels are overlapping, sometimes AP responds to
probe request even if it's operating on neighbouring channel.
Currently firmware drops those scan entries, as current channel
doesn't match with APs channel.
This patch enables MWIFIEX_DISABLE_CHAN_FILT flag in scan
command to disable the feature so that better scan results
will be received in 2.4Ghz band.
As I can see, even there could be AP from overlapping channel (might be
12/13/14 in this case), it will be filtered depend on reg domain rules
if (ch->flags & IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED)
continue;
so it should not been an ERROR. WARN looks fine to me.
you can add me acked-by in v2.
Okay, thanks for explanation and having a look at it.

Regards,
Simon

Hi Caesar,
The original log in google issue tracker show there exist AP in channel 13
after periodically scan.
Per my understand, if reg domain is set to US, channel 12/13/14 will not get
chance to scan. (test using iw/wpa_supplicant).
I am curious about whether there are any diff from upper layer.
As a test, you can print the scan channel list, as below:

Maybe that's related to wifi regdom, since wifi default area was
US and didn't support 12~14 channels.

I don't see how this fixes anything, care to explain? And the title
is quite vague.
Sorry for the description maybe unclear.
I'm assuming the print log is expected for marvel wifi driver. Do we
should use 'WARN' to instead of the 'ERROR' here.
But does that make any functional difference, isn't the warning still
printed?
At least, that shouldn't be printed log by default. :)
if I read the code is correct. That only the MSG/FATAL/ERROR will
output by default.

Heh, makes more sense now :) But you still should improve the title and
explain in the commit log that WARN level is not printed by default.
But before you submit v2 let's wait what Marvell says about this.
