wl12xx: avoid redundant join on interface reconfiguration
ieee80211_reconfig() sets most of the "changed" flags regardless of the actual change (e.g. BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC will be set even if the interface is still not associated). in this case the driver will issue some unneeded commands. Since the driver relies solely on the BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC flag, without checking if there was an actual change, it will end up issuing unjoin() and dummy_join() commands, although it was never associated and should just remain idle. Avoid it by checking the actual state change, in addition to the "changed" flag. (there seem to be more redundant configuration commands being issued, but they shouldn't harm) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller <eliad@wizery.com> Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com>
