ath9k: fix beacon timer restart after a card reset
In AP mode, ath_beacon_config_ap only restarts the timer if a TSF restart is requested. Apparently this was added, because this function unconditionally sets the flag for TSF reset. The problem with this is, that ath9k_hw_reset() clobbers the timer registers (specified in the initvals), thus effectively disabling the SWBA interrupt whenever a card reset without TSF reset is issued (happens in a few places in the code). This patch fixes ath_beacon_config_ap to only issue the TSF reset flag when necessary, but reinitialize the timer unconditionally. Tests show, that this is enough to keep the SWBA interrupt going after a call to ath_reset() Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: John W.
