    ath9k: fix listening to idle requests · 194b7c13

    The way idle configuration detection was implemented as
    busted due to the fact that it assumed the ath9k virtual wiphy,
    the aphy, would be marked as inactive if it was not used but
    it turns out an aphy is always active if its the only wiphy
    present. We need to distinguish between aphy activity and
    idleness so we now add an idle bool for the aphy and mark
    it as such based on the passed IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE
    from mac80211.
    
    Previous to all_wiphys_idle would never be true when using
    only one device so we never really were using
    IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE -- we never turned the radio
    off or on upon IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE changes as radio
    changes depended on all_wiphys_idle being true either to
    turn the radio on or off. Since it was always false for
    one device this code was doing nothing.
