All the others should be updated by mac80211. During ACS scan we wouldn't have a valid channel context assigned from mac80211 ('ar->rx_channel'), and also relying on ('ar->scan_channel') is not helpful (it becomes NULL when it goes to BSS channel and also when the scan event is completed). In short we cannot always rely on these two channel tracking variables. 'Target Operating Channel' (ar->tgt_oper_chan) seems to keep track of the current operating even while we are doing ACS scan and etc. Hence remove this un-necessary warning message and continue with target_operating channel. At the worst case scenario when the target operating channel is invalid (NULL) we already have an ath10k warning message to notify we really don't have a proper channel configured in rx to update the rx status("no channel configured; ignoring frame(s)!")
