CT firmware can support IBSS mode, so allow users to configure this.

There should a feature flag ATH10K_FW_FEATURE_SUPPORTS_ADHOC and we use
that flag as an indication to enable the mode. I wish we had done that
from the beginning, using wmi_op_version to guess that just creates
problems :(

No argument there.  If you want to add a feature flag I can start setting it in
my firmware.

But, the if-combinations crap is a bigger problem than that anyway.  I have
some later patches to re-work it to make it dynamically created instead of static,
but that is a fairly big change and I figured I had a better chance of getting
smaller changes upstream first.

Thanks,
Ben
