We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.
This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
drivers, some are updated in this patch.

When the EEPROM is not in good condition we cannot continue so
we currently bail out but only ath5k is bailing out properly.
Both ath9k and ar9170 were proceeding and if a user were to run
into this they'd see an obscure panic. Lets propagate the error
as intended and make sure we inform the user by lifting the
error message from debug to a kernel error.

This patch cleans up the functions dealing with calibration,
using proper return values.
ath9k_hw_per_calibration(), ath9k_hw_calibrate now return bool values
instead of setting error values in the function arguments.

The various ANI timers have to be initialized properly when
starting the calibration timer.

A full HW reset needs to be done on termination of a scan run.
Not setting SC_OP_FULL_RESET resulted in doing a
fast channel change.
