3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Larry Finger <larry.fin...@lwfinger.net>
commit 8fd77aec1a9d6f4328fc0244f21932114e066df3 upstream.
This driver has a watchdog timer that attempts to reconnect when beacon frames
are not seen for 6 seconds. This patch disables that reconnect whenever the
device has never been connected.
