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:
diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c
b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c
index a7593aa..a289818 100644
--- a/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c
+++ b/drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c
@@ -2572,6 +2572,7 @@ static int mwifiex_set_ibss_params(struct mwifiex_private
*priv,

user_scan_cfg->chan_list[i].chan_number = chan->hw_value;

user_scan_cfg->chan_list[i].radio_type = chan->band;
