This patch adds cfg80211 del_station handler for mwifiex.
If bss is not started or there are no stations in associated
stations list, no action is taken. If argument received is
null/broadcast mac, all stations in associated station list are
deauthenticated.
Patch also deletes related RxReorder stream and TxBA stream tables
for related station.

Currently, default VHT configuration from the firmware is used
for the VHT operations. Adding vhtcfg command to configure the
firmware based on input received from cfg.
Enable VHT for AP mode only when cfg80211_ap_settings has a
VHT IE i.e., when ieee80211ac is set to 1 in the hostapd.conf.

The firmware has support for this feature, so we offload it to
firmware. In start_ap, driver passes the inactivity timeout
value to firmware via TLVs and firmware will report STA_DEAUTH
event to driver when inactivity timer is fired.

This patch adds functionality to set channel info received from
cfg80211_ap_settings in start_ap handler.
Since set_channel cfg80211 handler has been removed and we need
not explicitely call mwifiex_uap_set_channel(); hence this
function definition is also removed.

Test procedure:
1. Start AP with security setting (e.g. WPA2)
2. Stop AP
3. Start AP with open security
Here it's observed that privacy is enabled in beacons and
probe responses.
This patch fixes it by checking the privacy parameter from
cfg80211_ap_settings. If privacy is not set in cfg80211_ap_settings,
set open authentication and no encryption in FW.
