The commit that went into 3.17:
ath9k: Summarize hw state per channel context
Group and set hw state (opmode, primary_sta, beacon conf) per
channel context instead of whole list of vifs. This would allow
each channel context to run in different mode (STA/AP).

broke multi-vif configuration due to not properly calculating
the bssid mask.
The test case that caught this was:
create wlan0 and sta0-4 (6 total), not sure how much that matters.
associate all 6 (works fine)
disconnect 5 of them, leaving sta0 up
Start trying to bring up the other 5 one at a time. It will
fail, with iw events looking like this (in these logs, several
sta are trying to come up, but symptom is the same with just one)
The patch causing the regression made quite a few changes, but
the part I think caused this particular problem was not
recalculating the bssid mask when adding and removing interfaces.
Re-adding those calls fixes my test case. Fix bad comment
as well.

This needs to be reviewed by ath9k driver folks that added
the original patch, at least.
And, should be considered for 3.17 stable if fix is accepted upstream.
