wl1271: use join command with dummy BSSID

When we need to change the channel before association, we have to send a join
command with a valid BSSID.  With this patch we use 0baddeadbeef as the
BSSID.  There are ongoing discussions with TI to get this done in a cleaner
way.

When we go back to idle, we issue a CMD_DISCONNECT to make sure the firmware
stops listening to the channel and cleans things up internally.

we assumed that drivers never give us spurious deauth
frames because they filter them out based on the auth
state they keep track of. This turned out to be racy,
because userspace might deauth while the AP is also

about the AP's frame if it requested deauth "first",

the IO base port addresses. In some cases the oops can be because

a speed regression, cf. bug
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138
that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong.
Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with

The bug was part of the original HT code from

noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't
be overwriting the peer's setting with our own
but rather keep it intact when masking the peer
capabilities with our own.

While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of
capabilities is completely useless for most of
the bits, so also fix those other bits.

Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no
