Subject: [ 065/187] ath9k_htc: configure bssid on ASSOC/IBSS change

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@....qualcomm.com>

commit 931cb03afed7b541392295f3afc4638da32f08a0 upstream.

After the change "mac80211: remove spurious BSSID change flag",
BSS_CHANGED_BSSID will not be passed on association or IBSS
status changes. So it could be better to program bssid on ASSOC
or IBSS change notification. Not doing so, is affecting the
packet transmission.
