Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] the long-awaited bitrate/channel API update

Having just rebased my patch on top of the new fixes Reinette posted (thanks!) that were previously a show-stopper for iwlwifi, here's now finally the submission of these two patches.

There will undoubtedly be bugs in this as I don't have the necessary hardware to test, and I'm sure people will disagree with the regulatory control change. I think we all agree, however, that the new API is better and that the regulatory control configuration should be within the new API. I will continue to work in this area but I hope that with this patch in other people can help out as well, both fixing bugs and fixing the small regulatory control regressions.

Since I know 1/2 won't make it to the list, here's the URL:
