Description

I tried to get beacon response messages, but the answer is always

wlan0: BEACON-RESP-RX 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 62 04

Actually it should be something like

wlan0: BEACON-RESP-RX 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx 62 04 [here some binary data...]

I checked everything with a Nexus 5X and it works fine.

Edit: Okay, mode=2 is working.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the empty BEACON-RESP-RX output on mt76x2u and compare it with the reported Nexus 5X behavior. Investigate the mode=2 case noted in the issue; done means beacon response messages include the expected binary data rather than ending after the length fields.
