2.6.39-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------ From: Nick Kossifidis <[email protected]> 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.
