Subject: [PATCH 3.2 24/79] ath9k_htc: properly set MAC address and BSSID mask

3.2.55-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mathy Vanhoef <vanhoefm@...il.com>

commit 657eb17d87852c42b55c4b06d5425baa08b2ddb3 upstream.

Pick the MAC address of the first virtual interface as the new hardware MAC
address. Set BSSID mask according to this MAC address. This fixes CVE-2013-4579.
