Subject: [013/289] ath9k: fix channel flag / regd issues with multiple cards

2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org>

commit f209f5298217cf54cd5a9163e18b08d093faf8d9 upstream.

Since the regulatory code touches the channel array, it needs to be
copied for each device instance. That way the original channel array
can also be made const.
