+ * This is just a wrapper to notify cfg80211 of roaming event with driver
+ * passing bss to avoid a race in timeout of the bss entry. It should be
+ * called by the underlying driver whenever it roamed from one AP to another
+ * while connected. Drivers which have roaming implemented in firmware
+ * may use this function to avoid a race in bss entry timeout where the bss
+ * entry of the new AP is seen in the driver, but gets timed out by the time
+ * it is accessed in __cfg80211_roamed() due to delay in scheduling
+ * rdev->event_work. In case of any failures, the reference is released
+ * either in cfg80211_roamed_bss() or in __cfg80211_romed(), Otherwise,
+ * it will be released while diconneting from the current bss.
