This looks like the correct thing to do here.
nl80211_get_wiphy_data_ap() used to be called from
nl80211_mgmt_subscribe_ap() and that function is within that same
!device_ap_sme && !use_monitor case.

Could you please send this patch with a proper commit message and
Signed-off-by: line so that I can apply it?
