5ffdddc75e mac80211: ath9k: register id table for platform device
Currently the device id in the platform driver is hardcoded to an
id which is specific to AR9130/AR9132 SOCs as it supports only wmac
(wireless mac) of these SOCs. But this needs to be dynamic when we
want to support different wmac of SOCs. So add id_table to driver to
make it extendable to more SOCs.

8e1a827487 mac80211: add WLAN LED support for Ralink RT305x SoC Devices
This patch adds WLAN LED support to the mac80211 driver for Ralink
rt2x00/rt2800 (rt305x) SoC devices. The current driver in
kmod-rt2800-lib is based upon PCI, not SoC. The WLAN LED drivers in
rt2800lib.c set the LED brightness via an MCU request, but do nothing
for SoC. This patch checks for SoC and sets the register to enable the
WLAN LED (instead of an MCU request).  This fixes the WLAN LED for
RT305x devices (such as the HW550-3G).

3494bdc59a mac80211: allow AP configuration of beacon interval, DTIM period, maximum permissible STA listen interval, and basic rates
This introduces beacon_int and basic_rate (per wifi-device), and
dtim_period and max_listen_int (per wifi-iface) for mac80211. These
configure the beacon interval, basic rate specification, DTIM period
(one DTIM per this many beacon frames), and maximum listen interval
that a STA will be permitted to associate with. All of the new
settings are optional; if they're absent, the existing hostapd (or, in
the case of basic_rate, driver) defaults will be used.

The existing bintval property only used for type adhoc is moved from
wifi-iface to wifi-device, and is renamed to beacon_interval because
bintval isn't a great name. The beacon interval is property of the
wifi-device; while the choice between wifi-device and wifi-iface may
not be relevant with an adhoc network, there's no reason to configure
the same property one way for type adhoc and another for type ap. This
change isn't expected to cause many problems, as bintval was added
recently, in r25111.

Similarly, the list of basic rates, also added for type adhoc in
r25111, is a property of the device and not the interface. Further, it
ought to be represented in UCI as a list, not a string dependent on
the format that iw uses. I’ve moved it onto the device, renamed it to
basic_rate, and made it configurable for APs via hostapd. Finally, I
adapted it to use the same kb/s representation as mcast_rate; there's
precedent for this format in that it's also how madwifi interprets
mcast_rate.

Neither bintval nor basicrates were ever documented in the UCI
wireless configuration page on the wiki. When this change is
committed, I'll update the documentation as needed.

32d08d2dea ath: fix world regulatory domain fix-up so that all regulatory rules are processed
r24503 (trunk) and r24505 (backfire) revised the regulatory rules used
for the ath drivers' world regulatory domains in the 5GHz band by
opening up channels 36, 40, 44, and 48 to being used without the
*_PASSIVE_SCAN and *_NO_IBSS flags set. This was done by breaking
ATH9K_5GHZ_5150_5350 into two REG_RULES. The various struct
ieee80211_regdomains that reference these rules in their reg_rules
fields need to have their n_reg_rules fields updated accordingly.
