ath9k: fix listening to idle requests
The way idle configuration detection was implemented as busted due to the fact that it assumed the ath9k virtual wiphy, the aphy, would be marked as inactive if it was not used but it turns out an aphy is always active if its the only wiphy present. We need to distinguish between aphy activity and idleness so we now add an idle bool for the aphy and mark it as such based on the passed IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE from mac80211. Previous to all_wiphys_idle would never be true when using only one device so we never really were using IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE -- we never turned the radio off or on upon IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE changes as radio changes depended on all_wiphys_idle being true either to turn the radio on or off. Since it was always false for one device this code was doing nothing. Cc: Jouni.Malinen <Jouni.Malinen@atheros.com> Reported-by: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vasanth@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.
