    Commit "nl80211: send event when AP operation is stopped" added an
    event to notify user space that an AP interface has been stopped, to
    handle cases such as suspend etc. The event is sent regardless
    if the stop AP flow was triggered by user space or due to internal state
    change.
    
    This might cause issues with wpa_supplicant/hostapd flows that consider
    stop AP flow as a synchronous one, e.g., AP/GO channel change in the
    absence of CSA support. In such cases, the flow will restart the AP
    immediately after the stop AP flow is done, and only handle the stop
    AP event after the current flow is done, and as a result stop the AP
    again.
    
    Change the current implementation to only send the event in case the
    stop AP was triggered due to an internal reason.
