After some offline discussion on this, it sounds like the better
approach would be to just remove the check from set_key to fix the
regression. After that, the separate default keys flags becomes unused
and can be removed and as such, this patch should not be needed in
ath6kl (and would cause a compilation error once the flag gets removed).
