Redpine: WiFi scan stopping issue observed with BLE

[Amitkumar Karwar]

SRU Justification:
------------------

Impact:
   WiFi scan stopping issue observed with BLE

Test case:
   1) Any PC (Ubuntu Desktop): setup iBeacon advertiser
   2) Caracalla 3003 (Ubuntu Server/Core) run:
        ./scan.sh
         By default WiFi supplicant will run on Caracalla
         You can check the WiFi scan results by using below command
            iw dev wlan0 scan

         After 24hrs successful regression, we are unable to get the WiFi scan results by giving the above command

Fix:
   Resolve this by waiting for the confirmation for a management packet from firmware.

Regression potential:
    Below stress tests are conducted to ensure there is no issue in WiFi scan
    BLE Scan + WLAN scan
    BT Scan + WLAN scan
    BLE scan + WLAN connected

Attached are BLE scripts.
