Felix Fietkau 6ff1c217a0 wifi: mt76: set MT76_SCANNING when starting a hw scan
The scan state bit is cleared by mt76_scan_complete(), but nothing ever
sets it: mt76_sw_scan() is only called for drivers without hw scan
support. As a result, all MT76_SCANNING checks are inert for drivers
using mt76_hw_scan(), including the DFS state handling in
mt76_phy_dfs_state() and the guard against manually triggered radar
detection while scanning.

Set the bit when the scan request is accepted. Since every channel
programmed while scanning now evaluates the DFS state as disabled and
stops the radar detector, re-program the operating channel at scan
completion regardless of the off-channel state, after the scanning bit
has been cleared. Otherwise a scan whose last visited channel was the
operating channel, or one that returned to it early because of
associated stations, would leave radar detection stopped until the
next channel switch.

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
