estimation algorithm (dynack). Dynack is automatically disabled setting valid
value for coverage class. Currently dynack is supported just by ath9k

iw: embrace the Developer Certificate of Origin for contributions
The Linux kernel started to embrace a light weight development contribution
agreement process called the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO) circa
2004. Attorneys all over the planet have conferred a lot of respect and
appreciation for this document and it provides a light weight alternative to
cumbersome and controversial Contribution License Agreements (CLAs).
Similar to streamlining FOSS licenses we also all stand to gain from
streamlining a light weight contribution agreement process for development
and in light of this the the Linux Foundation recently has made the DCO a
standalone project [0] so that any FOSS project under any FOSS license can
take advantage of the same gains. The motivation and intent is documented
only currently on my blog post [1].
Lets take advantage of the new shiny DCO and embrace it for contributions.
NOTE: Contributions before this commit that still included a Signed-off-by
line (presumably out of habit of typing -s with git commands) aren't
necessarily covered by this agreement.

Align iw with the change in nl80211.h where NL80211_FREQUENCY_ATTR_NO_IBSS

NL80211_FREQUENCY_ATTR_NO_IR.
In case both NL80211_FREQUENCY_ATTR_NO_IR and __NL80211_FREQUENCY_ATTR_NO_IBSS

otherwise use the previous notation.

Don't get iw version from git if there is no .git/
The version.sh script should only try to get the version from git if the
source actually resides in a git repository, i.e. .git/ exists. Doing
otherwise in a non-git source repo results in git ascending until it
finds a .git directory, which will cause problems in some source-based
distributions ( https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482334 ).

iw: sync frequency to channel mapping with kernel
Use ieee80211_frequency_to_channel() and ieee80211_channel_to_frequency() as in
the current kernel. This is necessary to properly print the channel numbers for
4.9GHz channels which can be used in Japan.
User can configure the peer link expiration time with a
new mesh parameter, mesh_plink_timeout. This parameter
sets the expiration time, in seconds, for peer links.
After this time, the peer link is expired. This means the
inactive STA is removed from the list of peers and is not
considered a peer again unless it re-peers.

fix "iw phy#0 info"
Ben Greear reported that on a kernel that doesn't have the split
(and therefore filtered) wiphy dump feature, "iw phy#0 info" was
reporting data for all devices, rather than just one. This was a
result of using the split/filtered dump rather than a simple get
on "older" kernels (before 3.10!)
Fix this by checking the kernel feature before getting the data.
Small update, found while verifying against the standard.
Thanks
