ath5k: reduce exported channel list
Claiming every available 5 ghz channel has a couple of negative
side-effects: scanning takes a long time, and the channel list
overflows the available buffer space for netlink commands,
resulting in:
$ iw phy phy0 info
command failed: No buffer space available (-105)
This patch adds a modparam so people who want to see all the channels
can do so by passing all_channels=1. By default users will see a
smaller list of channels. This also halves scan time, from 10 seconds
down to less than 5 when using world regulatory.
