Hi,
commit 9029679f66d976f8c720eb03c4898274803c9923 upstream.
the patch "brcmfmac: remove setting IBSS mode when stopping AP" fixes a recurring warning[1] when we run our wifi in AP mode after we stopped an AP on the same card.
We are using the 4.9 stable tree. But every kernel < 4.13 and >= 3.9 is affected by this problem.
Best regards Philipp
