Ansuel Smith 3394af677c mac80211: split ath patch in dedicated subdir
The ath patch number is already large and adding other patch for ath11k
will add more confusion with the patch numbering.
Since the support of ath11k based device is imminent, prepare the mac80211
ath patch dir and split it in the dedicated ath5k, ath9k, ath10k and ath11k
(empty for now).

Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: adjust tx power reduction for US regulatory
domain
FCC regulatory rules allow for up to 6 dBi antenna gain. Account for
this in the EEPROM based tx power reduction code.
