That should not affect this, i.e., it is just an optimization to allow
the operation mode to be changed without first setting the interface
down. ath9k worked fine for this even before the change_interface()
handler was added. I haven't tested P2P with ath5k at all, so I'm not
sure what exactly could be missing.
