3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coe...@intel.com>
commit 5ac6c72e594471acfa5b00210c51d533a73413ad upstream.
Older firmwares do not provide support for the HOT_SPOT_CMD command.
Check for the appropriate TLV flag that declares hotspot support in
the firmware to prevent a firmware assertion failure that can be
triggered from the userspace,
