wireless: add new wil6210 802.11ad 60GHz driver 

This adds support for the 60 GHz 802.11ad Wilocity card
through a new driver, wil6210. Wilocity implemented the
firmware, QCA maintains the device driver.

Currently supported:

- STA: with security
- AP: limited to 1 connected STA, security disabled
- Monitor: due to a hardware/firmware limitation
  either control or non-control frames are monitored

Using a STA and AP with this drive, one can assemble
a fully functional BSS. Throughput of 1.2Gbps is achieved
with iperf.

The wil6210 cards have on-board flash memory for the
firmware, the cards comes pre-flashed and no firmware
download is required.

config WIL6210

	depends on CFG80211

	depends on PCI

	default n

	---help---

	  This module adds support for wireless adapter based on

	  wil6210 chip by Wilocity. It supports operation on the

	  60 GHz band, covered by the IEEE802.11ad standard.



	  http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/wil6210



	  If you choose to build it as a module, it will be called

	  wil6210



config WIL6210_ISR_COR

	bool "Use Clear-On-Read mode for ISR registers for wil6210"

	depends on WIL6210

	default y

	---help---

	  ISR registers on wil6210 chip may operate in either

	  COR (Clear-On-Read) or W1C (Write-1-to-Clear) mode.

	  For production code, use COR (say y); is default since

	  it saves extra target transaction;

	  For ISR debug, use W1C (say n); is allows to monitor ISR

	  registers with debugfs. If COR were used, ISR would

	  self-clear when accessed for debug purposes, it makes

	  such monitoring impossible.

	  Say y unless you debug interrupts
