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.
