[PATCH] ath6kl: indicate probe-resp offload support

[Arik Nemtsov]

The ath6kl responds to probe-requests in HW while operating as an AP. It
supports offloading exclusions to support the WPS, WPS2, P2P and
802.11u protocols.

I haven't added validation in hostap that check for these flags before
sending down the probe-resp IEs. This is still useful for tools such as
iw, that can print out device characteristics.

I'm not sure 802.11u is actually supported, just seemed so from the
hostap code sending down the IEs.

The patch of course depends on
"nl80211: Add probe response offload attribute"

Thanks, I'll apply this once I merge latest wireless-next to
ath6kl-next. I just can't do it right now.

Jouni, can you comment on this one?
