Commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"

because of a misnamed variable.
The beacon RSSI is only valid in station mode, and the main reason to check

stays enabled if the RSSI is low, even when the OFDM noise immunity entry

check. Which must mean that when hardware is experiencing the problem,
it's actually returning empty bssid-list and this check didn't make

However inverse check causes workaround be activated when bssid-list
returns only entry, currently connected BSSID. That does not cause
problems in itself, just slightly more inaccurate information in
