From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 89e367a90c1a877ca9c5d75d3848582d80fd0e60 ]

When stopping the AP, explicitly disable FTM responder while
disabling beaconing.

The background `git log -S'BSS_CHANGED_FTM_RESPONDER'` search finished
after ~7 minutes. It didn’t pinpoint a clean “introducing” commit in
this tree — the pickaxe scan surfaced a long list of unrelated merge
commits, which is typical for a stable checkout with compressed history.

That doesn’t change the earlier conclusion: `BSS_CHANGED_FTM_RESPONDER`
and the FTM responder AP path are present in this 6.18.43 tree, and the
missing `ftm_responder` teardown in `ieee80211_stop_ap()` is a real bug
there — especially for ath10k/ath11k drivers that rely on that notify
bit and don’t implement `.stop_ap`.

**YES**
