Since usb bus add extra delay on each request, a command
with read + write requests is too expensive. We can dramtically
reduce usb load by moving this command to firmware.
In my tests, this patch will reduce channel scan time
for about 5-10 seconds.

ath9k and ath9k_htc use the variable name "led_blink" to indicate
whether the module parameter "blink" is on. This name is easy to
conflict with other variables, and has caused a compiler error found
by kbuild test bot. The compiler error is as following:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k_htc.o:(.data+0x47c): multiple definition of `led_blink'
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.o:(.bss+0x20): first defined here

Based on a quick test with AR9271, TDLS seems to be working fine.
Tests were done with 2 Atheros AR9271 based devices with firmware
1.3 (sha1 8d49f928aa40ac53c729189bff1333cd373a7fb5), associated
with a WAP54G access point. TDLS worked fine both in WPA2 mode and
without encryption. Stations maintained ping flood traffic between
each other and towards the AP without significant losses.
Not tested with AR7010.
TDLS was enabled in earlier patches the same way for other
Atheros drivers:
ath9k (fd6562344d),
and carl9170 (d1f3de71a5).

It is a copy/paste of patch provided by Sujith for ath9k.
"Even though we make sure PowerSave is not enabled by default
by disabling the flag, WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT on init,
PS could be enabled by userspace based on various factors
like battery usage etc. Since PS in ath9k is just broken
and has been untested for years, remove support for it, but
allow a user to explicitly enable it using a module parameter."

Currently we configure harwdare and clock, only after
interface start. In this case, if we reload module or
reboot PC without configuring adapter, firmware will freeze.
There is no software way to reset adpter.
This patch add initial configuration and set it in
disabled state, to avoid this freeze. Behaviour of this patch
should be similar to: ifconfig wlan0 up; ifconfig wlan0 down.

The reg_notifier()'s return value need not be checked
as it is only supposed to do post regulatory work and
that should never fail. Any behaviour to regulatory
that needs to be considered before cfg80211 does work
to a driver should be specified by using the already
existing flags, the reg_notifier() just does post
processing should it find it needs to.
Also make lbs_reg_notifier static.

Not all devices are really capable of implementing
remain-on-channel, even if it is implemented in SW,
as they can't necessarily deal with channel changes
while associated.
Remove the WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL and add
it only if either the driver has remain_on_channel
implemented in the driver/device.
Also add it to all drivers that advertise P2P right
now since those definitely have to have it working.

Many systems (e.g. embedded systems) do not have wifi modules connected to
bluetooth modules, so bluetooth coexistence is irrelevant there. With the
addition of MCI support, ath9k picked up quite a bit of extra code that
can be compiled out this way.
This patch redefines ATH9K_HW_CAP_MCI and adds an inline wrapper for
querying the bluetooth coexistence scheme, allowing the compiler to
eliminate code that uses it, with only very little use of #ifdef.
On MIPS this reduces the total size for the modules by about 20k.
