Clear comeback if we send another association request which will allow to start a default timer after Tx status. The problem was seen with iwlwifi where the tx_status on the association request is handled before the association response frame (which is the usual case). 1) Tx assoc request 1/3 2) Rx assoc response (comeback, timeout = 1 second) 3) wait 1 second 4) Tx assoc request 2/3 5) Set timer to IEEE80211_ASSOC_TIMEOUT_LONG = 500ms (1 second after round_up) 6) tx_status on frame sent in 4) is ignored because comeback is still true 7) AP does not reply with assoc response 8) wait 1s <= This is where the bug is felt 9) Tx assoc request 3/3 With this fix, in step 6 we will reset the timer to IEEE80211_ASSOC_TIMEOUT_SHORT = 100ms and we will wait only 100ms in step 8.
