Zero out auth_status on initialization. Otherwise, garbage will
leak from the stack to the firmware (when ssid is less than 32 bytes
and/or when params->pmkid is set). Then, pass the params->pmkid to the
firmware (without it, the firmware caches a garbage PMKID on successful
authentication and denies a subsequent association request that includes
the PMKID).

Need to fix the alignment here.

Patch needs to pass the checkpatch.pl, before it can be submitted for review.

And need to follow these guidelines for linux wireless
https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches.html
