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 adds an alternative tx status path
for BlockAck Requests as the hardware doesn't
recognize that a BlockAck Requests is usually
acked with a BlockAck and not a legacy ACK.
Without this patch, the stack would constantly
resent old and stale BARs. So, depending on the
receiver stack, this could lead to:
- "stuck" ba sessions and package loss, as the
stale BAR would reset the sequence each time.
- lots of reorder releases.

Not all devices are really capable of implementing
remain-on-channel, even if it is implemented in SW,
as they can't necessarily deal with channel changes
while associated.
Remove the WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL and add
it only if either the driver has remain_on_channel
implemented in the driver/device.
Also add it to all drivers that advertise P2P right
now since those definitely have to have it working.

In the early days, this was a quite useful software
feature for testing different regdomains and chain
configurations without adding debugfs cruft into
the driver. Nowadays, the driver's phy code seems
to be stable and there's no need for it anymore.
Therefore I decided to removed altogether.

The device.h header was including module.h, making it present for
most of these drivers. But we want to clean that up. Call out the
include of module.h in the modular network drivers.

AR9170_PWR_REG_PLL_ADDAC is used to set the main clock
divisor which affects the AHB/CPU speed. Because this
would interfere with the firmware internal timekeeping,
the function has to be moved into the firmware.

In order to provide multiple interfaces for a single device,
the driver will be required to advertise all possible
interface configurations to the stack.

"mac80211 will properly assign sequence numbers to QoS-data
frames but cannot do so correctly for non-QoS-data and
management frames because beacons need them from that counter
as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing."

With some upcoming changes we'd like to use
the interface types for P2P capability tests.
Enable them now so that when we add those
tests in wpa_supplicant, nothing will break.

The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because
of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn.
Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were
left with the job of filtering.
This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive
in terms of latency, memory and load.
Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible
filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to
offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check,
RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible.
Note:
This patch also includes all changes to the
shared headers files since the inclusion.
