iwlwifi: mvm: fix the recovery flow while connecting
In BSS mode in the disconnection flow, mac80211 removes the AP station before the vif is set to unassociated. Our firmware wants it the other way around: first set the vif as unassociated, and then remove the AP station. In order to bridge between those two different behaviors, iwlmvm doesn't remove the station from the firmware when mac80211 removes it, but only after the vif is set to unassociated. The implementation is in iwl_mvm_bss_info_changed_station: if (assoc state was modified && mvmvif->ap_sta_id is VALID && assoc state is now UNASSC) remove_the_station_from_the_firmware() During the recovery flow, mac80211 re-adds the AP station and then reconfigures the vif. Since the vif is not associated, and then, we enter the if above (which was intended to be taken in the disconnection flow only) and remove the station we just added. This defeats the recovery flow. Fix this by not removing the AP station in this flow if we are in recovery flow.
