It looks like channel change may fail in some cases and end up leaving
the hardware in state where it cannot transmit any frames. Add a
workaround to recover from this state if we detect that wiphy
selection is failing due to wiphys not leaving PAUSING state.

Allow virtual wiphys to be paused/unpaused to allow off-channel
operations. Pause will stop all TX queues for the wiphy and move the
STA into power save mode if in managed mode. Unpause wakes up the TX
queues and notifies the AP that the STA woke up if in managed mode.

This is the initial step in allowing ath9k to register multiple
virtual radios (wiphys). The goal of virtual radios is to allow the
same radio to be shared for multiple virtual interfaces that may
operate on different channels. The mac80211 virtual interface support
is designed only for single channel operation and as such, it is not
suitable for this type of use. Anyway, it can be used on top of the
virtual radio concept, if desired (e.g., use two virtual radios to
handle two channels and then add multiple mac80211 virtual interfaces
on top of each virtual radio).
The new struct ath_wiphy is now registered as the driver data
structure for wiphy. This structure has a pointer to the shared (among
virtual wiphys of the same physical radio) struct ath_softc data. The
primary wiphy maintains the allocated memory for ath_softc. Secondary
(virtual) wiphys will only allocate the new ath_wiphy structure.
Registration of secondary wiphys is added in a separate patch.

The TSF has to be reset only once, upon bringing

after that, resetting the TSF results in incorrect beacon generation.
The only exception is a change in the beacon interval,

Now that cfg80211 has its own regulatory infrastructure we can
condense ath9k's regulatory code considerably. We only keep data
we need to provide our own regulatory_hint(), reg_notifier() and
information necessary for calibration.
Atheros hardware supports 12 world regulatory domains, since these
are custom we apply them through the the new wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory().
Although we have 12 we can consolidate these into 5 structures based on
frequency and apply a different set of flags that differentiate them on
a case by case basis through the reg_notifier().
If CRDA is not found our own custom world regulatory domain is applied,
this is identical to cfg80211's except we enable passive scan on most
frequencies.
