Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 119/130] mac80211: disallow band-switch during CSA

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

[ Upstream commit 3660944a37ce73890292571f44f04891834f9044 ]

If the AP advertises a band switch during CSA, we will not have
the right information to continue working with it, since it will
likely (have to) change its capabilities and we don't track any
capability changes at all. Additionally, we store e.g. supported
rates per band, and that information would become invalid.

Since this is a fringe scenario, just disconnect explicitly.
