Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Remove non-standard ioctls

Driver implements many WEXT_PRIV (non-standard) ioctl handlers to provide
userspace interface for following functionalities.

* WPS ( Not working )
* Debugging ( Setting/Getting register's value, dumping information)
* P2P mode
* Mesh point MP (Mode)

I suggest we should remove all functionalities which are using non-standard
ioctls, as a result of doing this the driver code complexity will reduce.
And once the driver is switched to use mac80211 framework, we can reimplement
functionalities mentioned above in a standard way.
