wl1271: remove workaround for disconnection

Now we're using a the idle information coming from mac80211 to decide when to
disconnect.  If we have joined (ie. we're listening to a channel), whenever
the interface goes to idle, we will issue a disconnect command.  So the
workaround to send a disconnect command before joining is not needed anymore.

we assumed that drivers never give us spurious deauth
frames because they filter them out based on the auth
state they keep track of. This turned out to be racy,
because userspace might deauth while the AP is also

about the AP's frame if it requested deauth "first",

a speed regression, cf. bug
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138
that the SM PS settings for peers were wrong.
Instead of overwriting the SM PS settings with
the local bits, we need to keep the remote bits.

The bug was part of the original HT code from

noticed that it makes no sense -- we shouldn't
be overwriting the peer's setting with our own
but rather keep it intact when masking the peer
capabilities with our own.

While fixing that, I noticed that the masking of
capabilities is completely useless for most of
the bits, so also fix those other bits.

Finally, I also noticed that PSMP_SUPPORT no
