This is to force ath6kl to power off hardware during suspend even if
sdio support keep power. This is needed, for example, when sdio
controller is buggy or maximum powersaving is desired.
Usage:
insmod ath6kl.ko suspend_cutpower=1

Jouni reported that my patch "ath6kl: power down hardware when interface
is down" caused a regression on his x86 boxes and scan didn't work anymore.
I was able to reproduce the problem by disabling all debug messages.
So there has to be a race condition somewhere in the code and disable the
functionality until the race is fixed. Now hardware is powered from the
point where module is loaded until it's removed.

The following is the lockdep warning which detects possible
deadlock condition with the way ar->lock and ar->list_lock
are being used.
(&(&ar->lock)->rlock){+.-...}, at: [<ffffffffa0492d13>] ath6kl_indicate_tx_activity+0x83/0x110 [ath6kl]
but this lock took another, SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock in the past:
(&(&ar->list_lock)->rlock){+.+...}
and interrupts could create inverse lock ordering between them.
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&(&ar->list_lock)->rlock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&(&ar->lock)->rlock);
lock(&(&ar->list_lock)->rlock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&(&ar->lock)->rlock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
softirqs have to be disabled when acquiring ar->list_lock to avoid
the above deadlock condition. When the above warning printed the
interface is still up and running without issue.

The benefit from this is that user space can control hardware's power state
by putting interface up and down. This is handy if firmware gets to some
weird state.
The downside will be that putting interface up takes a bit longer,
I was measuring ~500 ms during interface up.

When the rssi of the current AP drops, both wpa_supplicant and the
firmware may do a background scan to find a better AP and try to
associate. This might lead to a race condition where both may try
to connect to some AP based on their scan results.
Since the firmware is capable of handling roaming, let
wpa_supplicant know about this capability so that it will back off
from bgscan based roaming.

Currently the load address was calculated everytime when it was needed,
and with a mess if clauses. Simplify this by adding a field to struct
ath6kl for each address and choose the address with simple switch
statements.
Also move the code just after target version is retrieved. That way it's
easier to override the values later in the boot process.
