This STA will be reconfigured into AP mode when the interface is brought up again. This sequence will be successful only when change_virtual_intf() returns with no error, but there is a check in this callback which does the type change only when that interface is active. This callback does nothing more than saving the new interface type to vif and wdev, so the sanity check for interface state and wmi state is not necessary. This makes the AP interface functional again after interface down/up.
