Subject: [PATCH 1/6] ath9k: Cleanup add/change_interface callbacks

From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <[email protected]>

*Remove all the checks that will be handled by cfg80211
based on the interface combination advertised. For instance,
driver supports at the maximum 8 beaconing interface, while
we advertise maximum 8 beaconing interface in the interface
combination support.

*cfg80211 will take care of not allowing
us to add an interface that is not supported by the
driver, further if the change_interface changes the
old interface to a beaconing interface while we had
reached the max limit of 8 beaconing interface, again
cfg80211 takes care of this stuff!
So remove all these checks.

*Beautify placing PS wrappers in the appropriate
position.

please wait, will send a v2 version for patches 1 to 6 (including
Antonio's ath9k_htc change
for coexisting IBSS interface change( need to verify that there are no issues)).

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] ath9k_htc: Remove interface combination specific checks

From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <[email protected]>

Once the driver advertizes interface combination logic
based on its firmware/hardware limitation, cfg80211
takes care of all the necessary logic such as maximum
beaconing vifs, standlone interface etc.
