+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ath9k: fix race with IEEE80211_CONF_PS checks
+
+There is a small window where the mac80211 changes the IEEE80211_CONF_PS
+flag, and then informs the driver about the change. We have a race
+condition if we are checking the flag in the same time. Avoid it by
+introducing a local variable, and using that instead of checking the
+IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag directly.
+
+This fix the problem reported by Luis:
