Stanislaw Gruszka b01c9e3272 ath9k: check ah->curchan when updating tx power
When driver fail to reset card ah->curchan value stay NULL. When
later driver try to update tx power it oops by using ah->curchan
(calltrace is shown below).

This problem were reported at various places and for some it was
fixed by making ath9k_hw_chip_reset() do not fail. I have this bug
report on some oldish RHEL kernel with AR9285, however it's hard to
debug where reset fail when kernel OOPS, so I think this patch
should be applied. Hopefully ah->curchan is not used unconditionally
on other places until is initialized on ath9k_config().

ath: phy0: Chip reset failed
ath: phy0: Unable to reset hardware; reset status -22 (freq 2412 MHz)
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
