Currently, in cfg80211_parse_ml_elem_sta_data(), when RNR element indicates a BSS that operates in a channel that current regulatory domain doesn't support, a NULL value is returned by ieee80211_get_channel_khz() and assigned to this BSS entry's channel field. Later in cfg80211_inform_single_bss_data(), the reported BSS entry's channel will be wrongly overridden by transmitted BSS's. This could result in connection failure that when wpa_supplicant tries to select this reported BSS entry while it actually resides in an unsupported channel. Since this channel is not supported, it is reasonable to skip such entries instead of reporting wrong information.
