carl9170: remove fast channel change feature

"I'm seeing a problem with the carl driver. If I change channels
repeatedly on the 2.4ghz band, monitoring (e.g. tcpdump) will
eventually halt.  I've seen this on various versions of the carl
driver/firmware (both from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7)"
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136381302428113>

The culprit was identified as "fast channel change feature" which
according to Adrian Chadd is: "... notoriously unreliable and
really only fully debugged on some very later chips."
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136416984531380>

Therefore, this patch removes the fast channel change feature.
The phy will now always have to go through a cold reset when
changing channels, but it should no longer become deaf.

When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume.
The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source

This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less

header/data pair.

Not all devices suffer from this problem, but it can occur several times

this patch makes if possible for the affected devices to function. The patch

mwifiex: reset skb->data after processing PCIe sleep confirm cmd respose

This patch is a bug fix for an issue wherein power save was not
working for PCIe. This happens because for processing power save
sleep confirm command we pull skb so that skb->data points ahead
of interface header. We use same skb to get other cmda responses
as well. So if we don't push skb after processing cmd response,
it results into reduction in skb->len and finally skb->len reaches
zero. This causes failure in processing sleep command response.
Fix this by pushing skb by INTF_HEADER_LEN at the end of command
response processing.
