Old code would not set it to disabled, just assumed that driver
would default to disabled.  Change this to explicitly request
bss color be flushed on initial driver configuration.

Arguably, the current behaviour is in line with the documentation of
BSS_CHANGED_HE_BSS_COLOR ... but I would tend to agree that
enabling/disabling coloring should be covered by it as well. Lorenzo?

And I think the beacon-change logic was slightly wrong, so adjust
that as well.

That's not a great thing for a commit message to say ...

I think we should use beacon->he_bss_color_valid here instead of
params->beacon.he_bss_color.enabled, agree?

Either way, the value changed from un-set/un-known to some value, so why not just
mark it changed and flush to the driver?

IIUC what you mean here, if bss color changes from an un-set/un-known to a
configured (valid) value, beacon->he_bss_color_valid will be true
(he_bss_color_valid is used to indicate userspace provided a proper color for
beacons). What is the difference?
The other way around ("undo" some leftover color from a previous run), it
seems a driver/fw bug, and it must be fixed there. Don't you think?

Well, no.  I think the stack should set to known state, thus my original
patch to do so.

But, not worth arguing about as it seems to have no functional difference
at this point.

Thanks,
Ben

Not sure how this isn't updating the color itself, Lorenzo?
