The 'wiphy' file is a remnant from the old virtual HW code.
To know the channel parameters of multiple, virtual PHYs, it
was useful. Since the operating parameters, channel type, HT
capabilites etc. are all exposed by mac80211's debugfs, we might
as well use that. Most of the other information - BSSID, RXfilter etc.
have been retained.
