Re: [PATCH/RFC] set_rates support for prism54

I disagree with this.
We don't need parameter parsing either in the driver or in
wireless.c.
There is a perfectly good infrastructure in wireless tools iwpriv.c
Take a look at around line 375 in iwpriv.c for the
existing example of IW_PRIV_TYPE_FLOAT.
This could be adapted for this purpose (IW_PRIV_TYPE_BITRATE ?)
and (mis)use the iw_freq structure to pass the values and extra info.

This is probably the least invasive and can be tied to a particular WE
release.

Also we seem to have forgotten the 5 GHz band with 72, 100, 108
rates and only ofdm allowable.
