So we are passing local copy of channel context stored in 
arvif->chanctx. Do we need to update it when channel changes?

I see that during assignment time, we are copying/updating it and 
accordingly the command will be sent to firmware, but what about when 
STA moves channel? arvif->chanctx should be updated and tpc command 
should be sent again in that case?
