commit cfda2d8e2314 ("ath9k: Fix beacon configuration for
addition/removal of interfaces") reworked beacon configs to happen at
IF changes and missed cases when NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION has no beacons
with the corresponding values iter_data.primary_beacon_vif == 0 and
iter_data.nbcnvifs == 0 in ath9k_calculate_summary_state(), thus
calling ath9k_beacon_config() with null and giving the below warning.
Fix this by calling beacon config only when a beacon actually exists,
i.e. by checking iter_data.beacons which should be set only inside
ath9k_vif_iter_set_beacon() (the line "iter_data.beacons = true;" in
ath9k_calculate_summary_state() is a bug in above rework commit).

Benjamin, does this look reasonable to you? I'm planning to queue this for 4.8.

Actually, I see two patches which might be related but not identical:
ath9k: fix client mode beacon configuration
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9247699/
ath9k: Fix beacon configuration assertion failure
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9281191/
Felix (CCed) & Benjamin: please take a look and advice which one I
should take.

Yes, both patches are designed to fix the same issue in my patch.
Felix solution looks entirely correct to me, the second solution seems
slightly wrong because it prevents the call to ath9k_beacon_config from
happening instead of ensuring the correct parameter value.
ath9k_beacon_config needs to be called even if iter_data.beacons is
false as it disables the interrupts.

Definitely we're touching the same logic and I'm leaning in the
direction of dropping my patch and using Felix's.
I can't test the other patch right noum though because I'm on vacantion.
I'll test next week and report back.
