implicit band switch or not

Hi Johannes,

With our mac80211-based driver I was associated with 5GHz AP and ran into an assert. Investigating this I found that a software scan was initiated and our driver got a probe request from mac80211 to be transmitted. However, it turned out that the transmit rate was a 2GHz rate and our driver was still configured to 5GHz band. The ieee80211_tx_info also contained the band and indeed that was for 2GHz. Given the comment for the band attribute I am wondering whether we should a band switch implicitly or not:

 * @band: the band to transmit on (use for checking for races)

Any suggestions? Are we have a race condition here?
