I still think this is not the right way to do it.  It doesn't make sense
to have it in the configuration parameters.  If you want to make it
configurable, it should be in the NVS file and the driver should clear
it when not in AP mode (and whoever generates the NVS needs to make sure
it's never set for wl128x). 

The other solution is to always set this flag when in wl127x in AP-mode,
in which case it doesn't need to be configurable at all.  That would be
the simplest solution and you could even use a quirk if it makes it
easier.
