[0/5] mac80211: change disassociation order

Message

Hi,

This series contains patches that changed the disassocation order in
mlme code:
Instead of removing the AP STA completely, and then mark the vif as
unassociated
(which means that in between, the vif is marked as associated but there
is no AP STA. That makes little sense and may be a problem for some
drivers, as iwlwifi),
first move the state of the AP STA to NONE, then mark the vif as
unassociated, and only then remove the AP STA.

The new order will be used only for drivers that set a special driver
flag, so otherwise no impact on other drivers.

This series also contains the dependednt iwlwifi patches.

Thanks,
Miri

This patchset doesn't apply (some patches not cleanly, some not at all),
but I'm not sure why. Perhaps it requires merging wireless back first?

Please resend when it applies on wireless-next.
