When the bring-up stalls between add_interface and the first channel configuration, the first ANI tick dereferences a NULL ah->caldata and the device does not recover. Patch 1 removes that start. Patch 2 starts ANI once the interface beacons, which is where ath9k_htc_vif_reconfig() already re-arms it after a channel change; without it ANI and the periodic calibration never ran during a normal AP start. Tested with AR9271 on 6.18.48 and on a 6.12 product kernel: the oops reproduces on every start with a 500 ms delay after add_interface and is gone with the series; an hour as an AP, station mode, a channel switch, hostapd disable/enable and a restart are clean.
