Well documentation is always good :) If it is need I will add it.

However, I'd rather ask you what ath6kl is trying to do in that case,
since it's the only driver invoking cfg80211_ibss_joined() with a zero
BSSID (and now a NULL channel) on IBSS leave.

From the cfg80211 prospective, that call is seen like a notification of
being connected to a new BSS having zero mac and NULL channel. I don't
see how this can be useful at all, also because after leaving the IBSS I
imagine that no other operation will take place on that vif unless it
reconnects again.


Cheers,
