3a078876ca ath5k: convert LED code to use mac80211 triggers
This change cleans up the ath5k LED code and converts it to use
the standard LED device class along with the rx/tx LED triggers
provided by mac80211.

e039fa4a41 mac80211: move TX info into skb->cb
This patch converts mac80211 and all drivers to have transmit
information and status in skb->cb rather than allocating extra
memory for it and copying all the data around. To make it fit,
a union is used where only data that is necessary for all steps
is kept outside of the union.

A number of fixes were done by Ivo, as well as the rt2x00 part
of this patch.

57ffc589a9 mac80211: clean up get_tx_stats callback
The callback takes a ieee80211_tx_queue_stats with a contained
array of ieee80211_tx_queue_stats_data, remove the former, rename
the latter to ieee80211_tx_queue_stats and make tx_stats() take
the array directly.

b446197cc1 ath5k: Port debug.c over to the new band API and enable as build option
This patch finishes the port and enables debug as an build option.
This was tested on:

Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY: 0x43)
RF5112A multiband radio found (0x36)

Note:

For 2 GHz band on the above card I noticed we get negative channel
numbers. Will look into this unless someone beats me to it.

sudo modprobe ath5k debug=0x00000400

d8ee398d18 ath5k: Port to new bitrate/channel API
Author: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com>

Tested on 5211, 5213+5112, 5213A+2112A and it wors fine.

Also i figured out a way to process rate vallue found
on status descriptors, it's still buggy but we are getting
closer (i think it improved stability a little).

036cd1ec03 ath5k: use SWBA to detect IBSS HW merges
use SWBA (software beacon alert) interrupts to keep track of the next beacon
time und check if a HW merge (automatic TSF update) has happened on every
received beacon with the same BSSID.

this is necessary because the atheros hardware will silently update the local
TSF in IBSS mode, but not its beacon timers. if the TSF is ahead of the beacon
timers no beacons are sent until the timers wrap around (typically after about
1 minute).

this solution is not very nice, since we have to look into every beacon, but
there is apparently no other way to detect HW merges.

e535c1ac7e ath5k: beacon interval is in TU
the beacon interval is passed by mac80211 in TU already, so we can directly use
it without conversion. also update the comments about TU (1 TU is defined by
802.11 as 1024usec).

32bfd35d4b mac80211: dont use interface indices in drivers
This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.

This has two advantages:
 * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
   for working with network namespaces and performance
 * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
   having to allocate own lists/hash tables
