Subject: staging: wilc1000: Fix bssid buffer offset in Txq

From: Aditya Shankar <[email protected]>

commit 1bbf6a6d4091affb27ec0a19d7aa7887ce72f610 upstream.

Commit 46949b48568b ("staging: wilc1000: New cfg packet format in handle_set_wfi_drv_handler") updated the frame format sent from host to the firmware. The code to update the bssid offset in the new frame was part of a second patch in the series which did not make it in and thus causes connection problems after associating to an AP.

This fix adds the proper offset of the bssid value in the Tx queue buffer to fix the connection issues.

Fixes 46949b48568b ("staging: wilc1000: New cfg packet format in handle_set_wfi_drv_handler")
