This adds support for offloading the channel switch
operation to devices that support such, typically
by having specific firmware API for it. The reasons
for this could be that the firmware provides better
timing or that regulatory enforcement done by the
device requires special handling of CSAs.
In order to allow drivers to specify the timing to
the device, the new channel_switch callback will
pass through the received frame's mactime, where
available.

Jumbo frames are not supported, and if they are seen it is likely
a bogus frame so just silently discard them instead of warning on
them all time. Also, instead of dropping them immediately though
move the check *after* we check for all sort of frame errors. This
should enable us to discard these frames if the hardware picks
other bogus items first. Lets see if we still get those jumbo
counters increasing still with this.
Jumbo frames would happen if we tell hardware we can support
a small 802.11 chunks of DMA'd frame, hardware would split RX'd
frames into parts and we'd have to reconstruct them in software.
This is done with USB due to the bulk size but with ath5k we
already provide a good limit to hardware and this should not be
happening.
This is reported quite often and if it fills the logs then this
needs to be addressed and to avoid spurious reports.

When station is using an HT channel to communicate to AP and communication
is lost then driver will first be notified that channel is not an HT
channel anymore before AP station is removed. A consequence of that is that
the driver will know that it is not communicating on HT anymore, but the
rate scaling table is still under the impression it is operating in HT. Any
time after driver has been notified channel is not HT anymore there will
thus be a firmware SYSASSERT when the current active LQ command is sent.
A workaround for this issue is to not send a LQ command in the short time between
being notified channel is not HT anymore and rate scaling table being
updated.

Currently, the broadcast station is managed along
with the interface type, rather than always being
present. That leads to a bug with injection -- it
is currently not possible to inject frames when
the only virtual interface is a monitor, because
in that the required broadcast station is missing.
Additionally, allocating and deallocating the
broadcast station's LQ all the time is wasteful,
and the code to support this is fairly complex.
So this changes completely the way we manage the
broadcast station. Rather than manage it along
with any interface, we now allocate it when we
bring the device up, and remove it again when we
bring the device down. When we bring the device
up, we don't immediately program the broadcast
station into it, instead we just mark it active
and rely on the next restore cycle to upload it
to the device. This works because an unassociated
RXON is always required at least once to set up
device parameters, which implies a reprogramming
of stations into the device.
As we now manage all stations properly, there no
longer is a need for forcing a clearing of them
via iwl_clear_ucode_stations(), which can become
a lot simpler.
