    mac80211: avoid deadlock revealed by lockdep · 8ffcc704
    Emmanuel Grumbach authored
    sdata->u.ap.request_smps_work can’t be flushed synchronously
    under wdev_lock(wdev) since ieee80211_request_smps_ap_work
    itself locks the same lock.
    While at it, reset the driver_smps_mode when the ap is
    stopped to its default: OFF.
    
    This solves:
