wl1271: use join command with dummy BSSID

When we need to change the channel before association, we have to send a join
command with a valid BSSID.  With this patch we use 0baddeadbeef as the
BSSID.  There are ongoing discussions with TI to get this done in a cleaner
way.

When we go back to idle, we issue a CMD_DISCONNECT to make sure the firmware
stops listening to the channel and cleans things up internally.
