do not flush receive queue here. We don't want to flush data frames already
in queue because of channel change. Do it only for ath_reset/radio disable.
I thought about that as well, but then I noticed that if the recv queue is not flushed, ath_startrecv can pass a non-free rx descriptor pointer to the hw after the reset, which might lead to some nasty race conditions. I'll change the code so that it runs ath_rx_tasklet instead of ath_flushrecv when changing the channel, that should make it more safe.

In radio_disable, remove ieee80211_stop_queues, cancel_work before
calling ath_prepare_reset.
Will do, thanks.
