The WF200 allow to start two network interfaces (one AP, one station) on
two different channels. Since magic does not exist, it only works if the
station interface enables power save.

Thus, the driver detects this case and enforce power save as necessary.

This patch fixes the case where the AP interface is stopped and it is no
more necessary to enforce power saving on the station interface.

Isn't the assignment of wvif to NULL unnecessary as in the next line we
assign it to again?

wvif is also passed as argument to wvif_iterate(). wvif_iterate() uses this
parameter to know where the iteration has stopped on previous call.

However, the assignation during the declaration of wvif is useless.

Ah, I missed that.

Indeed, missed that as well.

In fact, this first assignation is used to fill wdev just below. So I am
keeping this code as-is.
