When we try to change the channel in ath9k its because either the configuration indicates we *have* changed channels or HT configuration has changed. In both cases we want to do a reset. Either way mac80211 will inform us when we want to actually change the channel so trust those calls. Although in the patch it may seem as I am doing more code changes I am not, all I am doing is removing the initial branch conditional and shifting the code to the left. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
