    Adds the spectral scan feature for ath9k. AR92xx and AR93xx chips
    are supported for now. The spectral scan is triggered by configuring
    a mode through a debugfs control file. Samples can be gathered via
    another relay debugfs file.
    
    Essentially, to try it out:
    
    echo chanscan > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl
    iw dev wlan0 scan
    cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan0 > samples
    echo disable > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl
    
    This feature is still experimental.
    
    The special "chanscan" mode is used to perform spectral scan while
    mac80211 is scanning for channels. To allow this,
    sw_scan_start/complete() ops have been added.
    
    The patch contains code snippets and information from Zefir Kurtisi and
    information provided by Adrian Chadd and Felix Fietkau.
