Drivers that don't use chanctxes cannot perform VHT association because
they still use a "backward compatibility" pair of {ieee80211_channel,
nl80211_channel_type} in ieee80211_conf and ieee80211_local.

Several people have complained about an unusual
and undocumented feature of the AR9170 hardware:
In siffer mode, the hardware generates spurious
ACK frames for every received frame... even
broadcasts.
The reason for this malfunction is unknown:
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=134517238506033>
But there's a workaround: Instead of the special
sniffer mode, the hardware will be put into
station mode and all rx filters are disabled.

Previously, it was not possible to connect to
networks which requires 11w to be supported by
the stations.
While the documentation hints that there's some
hardware support for offloading MFP "decryption",
this simple implementation relies on the mac80211
stack to do the actual crypto operations.

This patch contains following modifications:
- Add mesh capabilities on fw.c to permit creation of mesh
interfaces using this driver.
- Modify carl9170_set_operating_mode, to use AP-style beaconing
with mesh interfaces.
- Allow beacon updates for NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT type in
carl9170_handle_command_response.
- Add NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT case on carl9170_op_add_interfaces to
support mesh/ap/sta virtual interface combinations.

This patch implements a simple way of reducing the
output power of the device by a configurable upper
limit.

Previously, the beacon rate was fixed to either:
* 1Mb/s [2.4GHz band]
* 6Mb/s [5GHz band]
This limitation has been addressed and now the
beacon rate is selected by ieee80211_tx_info's
rate control info, almost like any ordinary
data frame.

This patch changes the initial aMPDU density and
factor settings to match those of Otus.
