AP mode currently sets up the dual stream capability
for all stations. This patch fixes it by checking if the
associated station supports dual stream MCS rates (8-15).
We would disregard any MCS rates above 15, since Atheros
HW supports only 0..15 rates currently, and can't receive
at rates > 15 anyway.

due to historical reasons but in reality its a no-op, additionally its
simply incorrect as each PCI devices has its own custom PCI configuration

debugfs ath9k/phy#/wiphy can be used to show the current list of
virtual wiphys and to add/remove virtual wiphys. Eventually, this
interface could be replaced with a cfg80211/nl80211 command that is
passed through mac80211.
For example:
# cat /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy
primary: phy0
# echo add > /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy
# cat /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy
primary: phy0
secondary: phy1
# echo del=phy1 > /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy
# cat /debug/ath9k/phy0/wiphy
primary: phy0
In addition, following commands can be used to test pausing and
unpausing of the virtual wiphys:
pause=phy1
unpause=phy1
select=phy1
(select pauses and unpauses wiphys automatically based on channel)
schedule=500

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.
