[PATCH] mac80211: disable CSA client with channel contexts for all drivers

[PATCH] mac80211: disable CSA client with channel contexts for all drivers

[Luca Coelho]

From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

The channel switch announcement code has some serious problems at the
moment.  Disable it for all drivers until it has been tested and
finalized properly.

Hi John,

I sent this directly to you because everyone (but me :P) is traveling
and it's intended for the current wireless tree.  This should solve the
OOPS that Linus has experienced with the CSA client code.
