Request a re-configuration of Beacon related timers
on the receipt of the first Beacon frame has to be set only
for station mode. Setting beacon sync for IBSS is causing
wrong beacon slot selection on beacon generation.

Beacon transmission needs to involve as little latency
as possible after receiving a SWBA event from the target.
Since packets are buffered to use TX stream mode, beacon
frames sometimes gets queued up and are not sent out immediately.
Fix this by decoupling management frame transmission from the
normal data path and send them out immediately.

When doing a channel set or a reset operation the pending
frames queued up for transmission have to be flushed and
sent to mac80211. Fixing this has to be done in two separate
steps:
* Flush queued frames and kill the URB TX completion handler.
* Complete all the frames that in the TX pending queue.
This patch adds proper support for draining and all the callsites
namely, channel change/reset/idle/stop are fixed. A separate queue
is used for handling failed frames.

from the packet's private data. This would be useful

For all packets sent through the USB_WLAN_TX_PIPE endpoint,
the private area of the SKB's tx_info can be used to store
driver-specific information. For packets sent through USB_REG_OUT_PIPE,
this will not make a difference since they are routed through a
separate routine that doesn't access the private region.

Use a queue to handle WMI events and schedule a tasklet
to process the events. This fixes the race between the

have been scheduled. Also, drain the WMI queue properly.

support is enabled. However the driver is required for
the built-in wireless MACs of the Atheros AR9130/AR9132
SoCs. These SoCs have no PCI controller, the wireless
MAC is connected to the AHB bus on them.
Introduce separated config options for the supported
buses, in order to allow building of ath9h without PCI
bus support.
As a bonus, this patch removes the cross-reference of
the ATHEROS_AR71XX option which is not present in the
kernel.
