Their power value is initialized to zero. This patch fixes an issue
where the configured power drops to the minimum value when AP_VLAN
interfaces are created/removed.

Rate controller in firmware may also return the Tx Rate
used for management frame that is usually sent as lowest
Tx Rate (1Mbps in 2.4GHz). So update the last_tx_rate only
if it is data frame.

This patch is tested with ath9k_htc.

<title>mac80211: fix radar_enabled propagation</title>

If chandef had non-HT width it was possible for
radar_enabled update to not be propagated properly
through drv_config(). This happened because
ieee80211_hw_conf_chan() would never see different
local-&gt;hw.conf.chandef and local-&gt;_oper_chandef.

This wasn't a problem with HT chandefs because
_oper_chandef width is reset to non-HT in
ieee80211_free_chanctx() making
ieee80211_hw_conf_chan() to kick in.

This problem led (at least) ath10k to not start
CAC if prior CAC was cancelled and both CACs were
requested for identical non-HT chandefs.

Jouni reported that when doing off-channel transmissions mixed
with on-channel transmissions, the on-channel ones ended up on
the off-channel in some cases.

The reason for that is that during the refactoring of the off-
channel code, I lost the part that stopped all activity and as
a consequence the on-channel frames (including data frames)
were no longer queued but would be transmitted on the temporary
channel.

Fix this by simply restoring the lost activity stop call.

<title>cfg80211/mac80211: ignore signal if the frame was heard on wrong channel</title>

On 2.4Ghz band, the channels overlap since the delta
between different channels is 5Mhz while the width of the
receiver is 20Mhz (at least).

This means that we can hear beacons or probe responses from
adjacent channels. These frames will have a significant
lower RSSI which will feed all kinds of logic with inaccurate
data. An obvious example is the roaming algorithm that will
think our AP is getting weak and will try to move to another
AP.

In order to avoid this, update the signal only if the frame
has been heard on the same channel as the one advertised by
the AP in its DS / HT IEs.
We refrain from updating the values only if the AP is
already in the BSS list so that we will still have a valid
(but inaccurate) value if the AP was heard on an adjacent
channel only.

To achieve this, stop taking the channel from DS / HT IEs
in mac80211. The DS / HT IEs is taken into account to
discard the frame if it was received on a disabled channel.
This can happen due to the same phenomenon: the frame is
sent on channel 12, but heard on channel 11 while channel
12 can be disabled on certain devices. Since this check
is done in cfg80211, stop even checking this in mac80211.
