0c0280bd0b wireless: make the reg_notifier() void
The reg_notifier()'s return value need not be checked
as it is only supposed to do post regulatory work and
that should never fail. Any behaviour to regulatory
that needs to be considered before cfg80211 does work
to a driver should be specified by using the already
existing flags, the reg_notifier() just does post
processing should it find it needs to.

Also make lbs_reg_notifier static.

3209e061ad libertas: ensure we clean up a scan request properly
Commit 2e30168b ("libertas: terminate scan when stopping interface")
adds cleanup code to lbs_eth_stop to call cfg80211_scan_done if there's
an outstanding cfg80211_scan_request.  However, it assumes that the
scan request was allocated via the cfg80211 stack.  Libertas has
its own internal allocation method, kept track of with
priv->internal_scan.  This doesn't set scan_req->wiphy, amongst other
things, which results in hitting a BUG() when we call cfg80211_scan_done
on the request.

This provides a function to take care of the low-level scan_req cleanup
details.  We simply call that to deal with finishing up scan requests.

The bug we were hitting was:

d2e7b3425c libertas: disable functionality when interface is down
Modify the driver so that it does not function when the interface is
down, in preparation for runtime power management.

No commands can be run while the interface is down, so the ndo_dev_stop
routine now directly does all necessary work (including asking the device
to disconnect from the network and disabling multicast functionality)
directly.

power_save and power_restore hooks are added meaning that card drivers
can take steps to turn the device off when the interface is down.

The MAC address can now only be changed when all interfaces are down;
the new address will be programmed when an interface gets brought up.
This matches mac80211 behaviour.

Also, some small cleanups/simplifications were made in the surrounding
device handling logic.

d6541c7448 libertas: remove Beacon Control
For now; it's a pretty easy command to hook up and whenever OLPC
figures out how they want the userspace interface to look (ie,
not iwpriv commands) we can easily add it back in.  Since the
cfg80211 conversion it wasn't working anyway.

Convert to a full direct command; previous code rolled a direct
command by hand but left the original indirect command code intact
but disabled.

1047d5edd4 Libertas: Added 11d support using cfg80211
Added 11d support for libertas driver using cfg80211. This is based on Holger
Shurig's initial work to add cfg80211 support libertas.
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/64286/)

Please let us know, if there are any improvements comments.

Code is added to send 11d enable command to firmware while
initialisation and pass 11d specific information to firmware
when notifier handler is called by cfg80211.
