Subject: ath9k: fix beacon restart on channel change
From: Rajkumar Manoharan <[email protected]>
commit 1186488b4a4d4871e40cb1604ba3ede3d4b7cc90 upstream.
Restart the beacon timers only if the beacon
was already configured. Otherwise beacons timers
are restarted unnecessarily in unassociated state too.
