Subject: [PATCH V2] ath6kl: Fix 4-way handshake failure in AP and P2P GO mode

RSN capability field of RSN IE which is generated (which is what really
advertised in beacon/probe response) differs from the one generated in
wpa_supplicant. This inconsistency in rsn IE results in 4-way handshake
failure. To fix this, configure rsn capability used in wpa_supplicant
in firmware using a new wmi command, WMI_SET_IE_CMDID. There is a bit
(ATH6KL_FW_CAPABILITY_RSN_CAP_OVERRIDE) in fw_capabilities to advertise
this support to driver.

V2 - Fix sparse warning due to the way rsn_cap is used
to store le16 (Reported by Kalle).

Indeed this can pretty much result in unaligned memory access.
I'll fix that. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks, applied. But there were conflicts, please check that I didn't
break anything.
