+Subject: [PATCH 33/35] hostapd: mtk: Fix unexpected AP beacon state transition
+
+When AP fails to set the beacon, it assigns bss->beacon_set to 0 no
+matter what the error number is.
+However, in the case that the error number is -EBUSY, the driver might
+not free the beacon and expect a later beacon re-setting. If hostapd set
+a new beacon under this case, the driver will return -EALREADY.
+This patch checks the error number after hostapd fails to set the
+beacon. If the error number is -EBUSY, bss->beacon_set will not be
+assigned to 0.
