Subject: [239/262] mac80211: config hw when going back on-channel

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eliad Peller <eliad@...ery.com>

commit 6911bf0453e0d6ea8eb694a4ce67a68d071c538e upstream.

When going back on-channel, we should reconfigure
the hw iff the hardware is not already configured
to the operational channel.
