Well, if we are not operating in the channel that mac80211
tells us, then we are screwed in a major, non-obvious way. :)

I am aware that you have rather unique requirements regarding ath9k,
which is why I left 'stations', 'xmit', etc.. untouched. :)

The only data points that have been removed are the current operating
channel parameters. And removing redundant code will make a difference
in memory-constrained environments like APs. (OpenWRT has DEBUGFS enabled
by default).
