commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=5919b1ef8b850248c4132f58a28926575aa8778f
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
Make ACS (Automatic Channel Selection) support in hostapd optional.
There's a clash of standard vs. propietary solutions, hence when hostapd
has builtin ACS support (standard) and it's enabled (channel=0 in the
config) this will preclude the propietary driver from using ACS (it
won't work at all).
