Subject: [PATCH 0/3] AP mode channel setting simplification

Ath6kl stores the channel, while mac80211 tries to
immediately apply it. The latter isn't great for
multi-channel.

Change cfg80211 to store the channel, and give it
to the driver (mac80211, ath6kl, etc.) only in the
start_ap() function.

This simplifies ath6kl a lot, and while it doesn't
make a difference to mac80211 today I think it'll
make it simpler to implement multi-channel.

I had some trouble with applying at least 1/3, so I skipped this
batch as well.
