Subject: [ 20/42] mac80211: fix error in station state transitions during reconfig

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

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

From: Meenakshi Venkataraman <meenakshi.venkataraman@...el.com>

commit bd34ab62a3297bd7685da11b0cbe05ae4cd8b02c upstream.

As part of hardware reconfig mac80211 tries
to restore the station state to its values
before the hardware reconfig, but it only
goes to the last-state - 1. Fix this
off-by-one error.
