Always tell driver to apply bss color settings if beacon indicates
the bss coloring has been set.

why? please describe the problem you are fixing

To ensure driver is set to known state.  This does not fix any known bug,
but seems appropriate, and I noticed driver wasn't being set to
disabled when BSS color was disabled while debugging some other issues
(the driver in question defaulted to disabled).

And only enable bss coloring if beacon indicates bss color setting
is valid and also enabled.

This seems more correct behaviour to me.  It does not fix any known
problem.

Thanks,
Ben
