The client in question then ends up in the same situation and won't

This could also avoid unnecessary register ops and also helps
the follow up patch to have global ref count for interrupts ops.

libertas: disable functionality when interface is down
Modify the driver so that it does not function when the interface is
down, in preparation for runtime power management.
No commands can be run while the interface is down, so the ndo_dev_stop
routine now directly does all necessary work (including asking the device
to disconnect from the network and disabling multicast functionality)
directly.
power_save and power_restore hooks are added meaning that card drivers
can take steps to turn the device off when the interface is down.
The MAC address can now only be changed when all interfaces are down;
the new address will be programmed when an interface gets brought up.
This matches mac80211 behaviour.
Also, some small cleanups/simplifications were made in the surrounding
device handling logic.

mac80211: Fill in skb->protocol information for injected frames
Some drivers (ath9k for example) are using skb->protocol to treat EAPOL
frames somehow special (disallow aggregation for example).
When running in AP mode hostapd injects the EAPOL frames through a
monitor interface and thus skb->protocol isn't set at all. Hence, if the
injected frame is a data frame and carries a rfc1042 headaer update the
skb->protocol field accordingly.
