Alina, a few notes on this series. I see you have used the mac80211
ops get_tsf via debugfs, and then added one for ath5k and ath9k. It
would seem a driver-specific get tsf from debugfs is not needed then.
The set_tsf is the only one that seems to be driver specific and could
probably go into their own debugfs.  Anyway how about instead of all
this just adding a new mac80211 ops for set_tsf for mac80211 as well
and then just add nl80211 commands to be able to get/set/reset them?
This way if the driver implements them it'll be through a generic
interface and also we can start using it via iw.
