With the current save power save implementation we assume a dtim period
of 1.This value is assigned based on a sanity check in the driver
eventhough we had not parsed it from mac80211.This patch obtains the actual
DTIM period from AP by parsing it from mac80211.Yet for handling
multicast traffic we may still have it as fixed rather than parsing it
from mac80211 .This does not breaks power save or anything as the sleep
duration is currently fixed in the driver.This patch may serve to improve
power save in the future by using dtim period for sleep duration and using
correct dtim period adhoc mode.

ath.ko is a common module shared between ath5k, ar9170usb, ath9k and ath9k_htc.
Adding driver specific data to the shared structure would impact all the
drivers. Handling USB device recognition for devices specific to ath9k_htc
can be handled within the driver itself.
Also, AR7010 refers to the processor used in both AR9280/AR9287 based
devices. Rename the device enumerations accordingly.
While at it, check properly for the bus type when choosing the EEPROM
base address for UB95.

cfg80211/mac80211: add mesh join/leave commands
Instead of tying mesh activity to interface up,
add join and leave commands for mesh. Since we
must be backward compatible, let cfg80211 handle
joining a mesh if a mesh ID was pre-configured
when the device goes up.
Note that this therefore must modify mac80211 as
well since mac80211 needs to lose the logic to
start the mesh on interface up.
We now allow querying mesh parameters before the
mesh is connected, which simply returns defaults.
Setting them (internally renamed to "update") is
only allowed while connected. Specify them with
the new mesh join command instead where needed.
In mac80211, beaconing must now also follow the
mesh enabled/not enabled state, which is done
by testing the mesh ID.
