The max2820 RF code needs to invoke max2820_write_phy_antenna every time the
channel is being switch.
This should be done passing the channel number to that function.
Incorrectly we were passing the same value that is written on the
channel RF register.
This may cause problems when operating on ch 14.
This patch fixes it.
Thanks to Alessandro Di Marco who found this issue!

The static function max2820_rf_set_channel is called with conf == NULL
within its compilation unit. Originally this defaulted to b/g channel
1, but "cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver
conversion" (commit 8318d78a44) mistakenly
dropped this check. This patch minimally restores the expected
behavior.

This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.
Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.
Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.
I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

This patch adds a mac80211 based wireless driver for the rtl8180 and
rtl8185 PCI wireless cards. Also included are some rtl8187 changes
required due to the relationship between that driver and this one.
Michael Wu is primarily responsible for the initial driver and rtl8185
support. Andreas Merello provided the additional rtl8180 support.
Thanks to Jukka Ruohonen for the donating a rtl8185 card! It was very
helpful for the rtl8225z2 code.
