Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: allow AP and mesh mode to operate simultaneously

Allow AP and Mesh mode to operate concurrently using
single radio. Verify this using fonera 2.0n featuring
RT3052 chipset and also TP-LINK TL-WN727N featuring
RT5370 chipset.

Just curios: Are you actually running mesh + ap mode on a rt2x00 device?

Otherwise I'm fine with this.

Thanks,

Yes. AP and Mesh created from the same radio are bridged together in
Fonera 2.0n. I have also tried this using the TP-Link USB adapter in a
PC. STA can associate with the AP and has its traffic forwarding via
mesh.
