[PATCH 1/4] mac80211: mesh: flush stations before beacons are stopped

From: Yaniv Machani
Date: Tue Jun 28 2016 - 07:11:11 EST


From: Maital Hahn <maitalm@xxxxxx>

Some drivers (e.g. wl18xx) expect that the last stage in the
de-initialization process will be stopping the beacons, similar to ap.
Update ieee80211_stop_mesh() flow accordingly.
