Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: ibss: fix ignored channel parameter
my earlier patch "mac80211: change IBSS channel state to chandef"
created a regression by ignoring the channel parameter in
__ieee80211_sta_join_ibss, which breaks IBSS channel selection. This
patch fixes this situation by using the right channel and adopting the
selected bandwidth mode.
