IBSS-RSN support on ath10k only links

[Ben Greear]

My firmware does support IBSS, and it has at least some support for IBSS-RSN.

My notes indicate that I had ath10k <-> ath9k IBSS-RSN working, but for one reason
or another, I did not have a stable ath10k <-> ath10k IBSS-RSN connection.

There are encrypted virtual devices that one can use on top of un-encrypted
IBSS connections, so maybe that is the best solution in the meantime.

I'd be interested to know if someone did have a stable ath10k <-> ath10k IBSS-RSN on
the .636 firmware.

I will be trying to enable AMSDU support on IBSS sometime soon, so I'll run
some more tests then.

Thanks,
Ben
