mac80211: Support ht-cap over-rides.
This implements ht-cap over-rides for mac80211 drivers. HT may be disabled, making an /a/b/g/n station act like an a/b/g station. HT40 may be disabled forcing the station to be HT20 even if the AP and local hardware support HT40. MAX-AMSDU may be disabled. AMPDU-Density may be increased. AMPDU-Factor may be decreased. This has been successfully tested with ath9k using patched wpa_supplicant and iw. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
