This patch fixes a bug when device is being started
while RfKill switch is engaged, leading to hang
due to partial initialization of hardware.

This change marks interface as down on reset, otherwise the driver can't
reinitialize itself properly.
Without the change a transient problem turns out to be critical and leads
to inavailability to reset the driver without brcmsmac module unload/load
cycle:

The brcmsmac driver requests firmware but doesn't document the
dependency. This means that software that analyzes the modules to
determine if firmware is needed won't detect it.
Specifically, (at least) openSUSE won't install the kernel-firmware
package if no hardware requires it.
This patch adds the MODULE_FIRMWARE directives.

brcmsmac cannot call freq_reg_info() during channel changes as it does
not hold cfg80211_lock, and as a result it generates a lockdep warning.
freq_reg_info() is being used to determine whether OFDM is allowed on
the current channel, so we can avoid the errant call by using the new
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_OFDM for this purpose instead.

brcmsmac uses info->control.sta while doing ampdu aggregation. This patch
changes the usage of the structure info->control.sta, as it is going to be
removed soon from struct ieee80211_tx_info. This patch is a pre-requisit in
order to add transmission power control (TPC) to the mac80211 subsystem.

brcmsmac implements enforcement of regulatory constraints internally,
using a Broadcom-specific world roaming domain named X2. Besides being
duplication of functionality this can also conflict with mac80211's
regulatory implementation, as mac80211 is unaware of the X2 domain and
thus might apply a more restrictive domain.
This patch is the first step in making brcmsmac cooperate with
mac80211's regulatory support. X2 is registered as a custom domain with
mac80211, so that at least both implementations will be enforcing the
same set of constraints. The internal enforcement of rules is kept for
now; this will be converted over to relying on mac80211 regulatory
enforcement in later patches.

The brcmsmac driver provides the country code from sprom as a regulatory
hint to cfg80211. When brcmsmac does not find a country code entry in
the sprom it passes 'US' as regulatory hint. Better approach is to rely
on the world regulatory domain in cfg80211/crda.
