Does anybody have/ think of a patch that removes the master interface
from the sub_if_list. It slows down the receive path. Second problem
with this is that the code becomes incorrect when opening receive path
for control packets.  Meanwhile as a workaround I've changed iw_mode
of the master interface  to invalid value instead of default
IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_AP.
