// PNO ENTRY = crc24(3 bytes) | RSSI_THRESHOLD>>3 (5 bits) | auth flags(3 bits)

/**
* Firmware roaming is implemented with two modes:
* 1- "Alert" mode roaming, (Note: alert roaming is the pre-L roaming, whereas firmware is
* "urgently" hunting for another BSSID because the RSSI is low, or because many successive
* beacons have been lost or other bad link conditions).
* 2- "Lazy" mode, where firmware is hunting for a better BSSID or white listed SSID even though
* the RSSI of the link is good.
* Lazy mode is configured thru G-scan, that is, the results of G-scans are compared to the
* current RSSI and fed thru the roaming engine.
* Lazy scan will be enabled (and or throttled down by reducing the number of G-scans) by
* framework only in certain conditions, such as:
* - no real time (VO/VI) traffic at the interface
* - low packet rate for BE/BK packets a the interface
* - system conditions (screen lit/dark) etc...
*
* For consistency, the roam parameters will always be configured by framework such that:
*
* condition 1- A_band_boost_threshold >= (alert_roam_rssi_trigger + 10)
* This condition ensures that Lazy roam doesn't cause the device to roam to a 5GHz BSSID whose RSSI
* is lower than the alert threshold, which would consequently trigger a roam to a low RSSI BSSID,
* hence triggering alert mode roaming.
* In other words, in alert mode, the A_band parameters may safely be ignored by WiFi chipset.
*
* condition 2- A_band_boost_threshold > A_band_penalty_factor
*
