Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: make mode change to same mode always successful

I suspect wireless mode change failure is the cause of many wpa_supplicant and
NM problems. Anyone who is having issues with wpa_supplicant and/or NM -
please try this patch.

Thanks,
-Michael Wu

Haven't tried it yet, but it looks good to me. Not much point in denying
a change to a mode that we currently have. I don't really have issues
with wpa_supplicant though, it does print a lot of mode change failures
but never seems to care.
