If the BSS is expired during connection, the connect result will trigger a kernel warning. Ideally cfg80211 should hold the BSS before the connection is attempted, but as the BSSID is not known in case of auth/assoc MLME offload (connect op) it doesn't. For those drivers without the connect op cfg80211 holds down the reference so it wil not be removed from list. Fix this by removing the warning and silently adding the BSS back to the bss list which is return by the driver (with proper BSSID set) or in case the BSS is already added use that. The requirements for drivers are documented in the API's.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
