Subject[046/107] ath5k: Disable fast channel switching by default
2.6.39-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com>

commit a99168eece601d2a79ecfcb968ce226f2f30cf98 upstream.

Disable fast channel change by default on AR2413/AR5413 due to
some bug reports (it still works for me but it's better to be safe).
Add a module parameter "fastchanswitch" in case anyone wants to enable
it and play with it.
