We get two timing related fields for each bss from firmware in scan
results.
1) timestamp - Actual timestamp information in probe response/beacon
2) network_tsf - firmware's TSF value at the time the beacon or probe
response was received.
Both are needed while associating by firmware.
The patch takes care of following things.
1) We should pass "timestamp" to cfg80211_inform_bss(), but currently
"network_tsf" is being provided. This error is corrected here.
2) Rename "network_tsf" to "fw_tsf"
3) Make use of u64 variable instead of an array of u8/u32 to save
parsed "timestamp" information.
4) Use timestamp provided to stack in scan results using
cfg80211_inform_bss() while associating. (bss->tsf)
5) Allocate space to save fw_tsf in "priv" of cfg80211_bss
and retrieve it while associating.

Driver maintains different flags for WEP, WPA, WPA2 security modes.
Appropriate flag is set using security information provided in
connect request. mwifiex_is_network_compatible() routine uses them
to check if driver's setting is compatible with AP. Association is
aborted if the routine fails.
For some corner cases, it is observed that association is failed
even for valid security information based on association history.
This patch fixes the problem by clearing previous security setting
during each association.
We should set WEP key provided in connect request as default tx key.

Earlier we were using dtim period extracted from scan response
buffer provided by FW in scan operation. But it is observed that
sometimes the buffer doesn't contain dtim period tlv, and wrong
value (0) was sent to user space.
After association FW will start listening to beacon frames of
connected AP and store dtim period. Therefore we can get it from
FW in dump_station() instead of using wrong value obtained in
scanning.
Redundant code after adapting new approach for dtim period is
also removed in this patch.

1) mwifiex_channels_to_cfg80211_channel_type() routine gives channel

doesn't store HT information provided by stack for the channel.
