In mwifiex_set_rf_channel() ibss specific flags were unnecessarily
getting modified for infra and AP mode. This patch removes
mwifiex_set_rf_channel() function and adds equivalant code in infra,
ibss and AP path.
For ibss, now we are chosing band based on channel type and basic
rates provided in ibss join request. We can start ibss network in
A only, B only, G only, BG, BGN, AN mode.

This is a flaw in recently implemented logic to handle Tx traffic
and scan operation simultaneously. We missed to wakeup main thread
to handle Tx traffic if scan is delayed/aborted.
For some cards (SD8797, for example), firmware will send SLEEP event
if there is no activity for 50msec. While handling the SLEEP event,
main thread will be woken up and Tx packet gets sent hence. In worst
case Tx traffic will be delayed for 50msec.
For other cards, such as USB8797, firmware won't send SLEEP event.
So, Tx traffic gets stuck if no other event triggers the wakeup of
main thread.
This patch fixes above issues.

If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running,
driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic
there is a delay for Tx packets.
This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority
in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan
commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will
make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan
command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by
20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or
timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will
be aborted.

The structure definition is
struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer {
u8 hdr[4];
struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm ps_cfm_sleep;
} __packed;
For sleep_confirm command we already reserve 4 bytes (using skb_reserve())
for an interface header. It will be filled later by interface specific code.
We don't need "hdr[4]" element in above structure. So we can use
"struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm" directly instead of
"struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer".

The hw_dot_11n_dev_cap reported by firmware hw_spec
has different format than the 11n capabilities.
Hence a lot of SET_ and RESET_ bit operation macros
were used to convert the dev_cap format to 11n
capability format. However the locally defined 11n
ht_cap macros are not necessary as we can use
IEEE80211_HT_CAP_ macros directly.
The 32-bit dev_cap bitmap is added as comment to
explain the mapping between firmware and 11n spec.

are also removed.
