Subject: ath5k: Disable fast channel switching by default
From: Nick Kossifidis <mickfl...@gmail.com>
commit a99168eece601d2a79ecfcb968ce226f2f30cf98 upstream.
Disable fast channel change by default on AR2413/AR5413 due to
some bug reports (it still works for me but it's better to be safe).
Add a module parameter "fastchanswitch" in case anyone wants to enable
it and play with it.
