This driver now advertises its allowed VIFs combinations to the mac80211
sublayer.

Other than that, practical tests shown that ath9k_htc devices allow an IBSS VIF
to coexist with VIF set up on other modes. This patch removes the check which
block the creation of any other VIF whenever an IBSS one is already present.

These two patches should really be applied in the opposite order:

You should add the interface combination data (this patch) then remove
the old checking code.

This way there's not a window (admittedly only one patch) where the
interface combinations aren't enforced.

FWIW, it's the other way around, in that window no combinations would be
permitted at all...
