Various missing sanity checks caused rejected action frames to be
interpreted as channel switch announcements, which can cause a client
mode interface to switch away from its operating channel, thereby losing
connectivity. This patch ensures that only spectrum management action
frames are processed by the CSA handling function and prevents rejected
action frames from getting processed by the MLME code.
