+Subject: [PATCH] wpa_supplicant: fix race condition in mesh mpm new peer
+ handling
+
+When wpa_supplicant receives another new peer event before the first one
+has been processed, it tries to add a station to the driver a second time
+(which fails) and then tears down the station entry until another event
+comes in.
+Fix this by only adding a station to the driver if it didn't exist already.
