Bob Copeland 3a702e49c0 atheros: introduce ath module containing common ath5k/ath9k/ar9170 code
This change creates a new module, ath.ko, which includes code that can
be shared between ath5k, ath9k and ar9170. For now, extract most of the ath9k
regulatory code so it can also be used in ath5k.

Luis R. Rodriguez 5f8e077c0a ath9k: simplify regulatory code
Now that cfg80211 has its own regulatory infrastructure we can
condense ath9k's regulatory code considerably. We only keep data
we need to provide our own regulatory_hint(), reg_notifier() and
information necessary for calibration.

Atheros hardware supports 12 world regulatory domains, since these
are custom we apply them through the the new wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory().
Although we have 12 we can consolidate these into 5 structures based on
frequency and apply a different set of flags that differentiate them on
a case by case basis through the reg_notifier().

If CRDA is not found our own custom world regulatory domain is applied,
this is identical to cfg80211's except we enable passive scan on most
frequencies.

Jouni Malinen 9d97f2e55e ath9k: Fix an operator typo in REG_DOMAIN_2GHZ_MASK
Incorrect operator causes the REG_DOMAIN_2GHZ_MASK to be zero which
surely was not the goal of this definition. Mask out the 11a flags
correctly.

Sujith 86b89eed9a ath9k: Revamp wireless mode usage
Use a single enum for managing modes, store supported modes by
the HW in a bitmask.
Register legacy rates with mac80211 only at init.
