Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: use IDA to allocate wiphy indeces

It's annoying to see the phy index increase arbitrarily, just because a
device got removed and re-probed (e.g., during a device reset, or due to
probe testing). We can use the in-kernel index allocator for this,
instead of just an increasing counter.
