Currently the allowed "respose rate" set (rates for HW generated frames
like ACKs) is the same as the basic rate set.
The HW will use the higher allowed response rate that is lower than the
rate of the received frame.
This is more or less what IEEE80211 mandates, but I missed the fact
that IEEE80211 also says that whenever it happens that for a modulation
class there is no any rate in the basic rates set, then the response rate
set shall include also all the mandatory rates for that modulation class.
This patch adds mandatory OFDM rates to the allowed response rate set if
no OFDM rate is included in the basic rate set.
Depending by the AP, I faced cases in which this patch seems to cause a
noticeable perfomance improvement.
- With my usual test AP there is no particular perfomance difference.
- With a prism54/hostapd AP this patch causes RX thoughput increase from
about 5Mbps to about 20Mbps.
Hopefully this patch may help people that faced performance regression wrt
the old staging driver.

When a full chip reset is done, all the queues
across all VIFs are stopped, but if MCC is enabled,
only the queues of the current context is awakened,
when we complete the reset.
This results in unfairness for the inactive context.
Since frames are queued internally in the driver if
there is a context mismatch, we can awaken all the
queues when coming out of a reset.
The VIF-specific queues are still used in flow control,
to ensure fairness when traffic is high.

when client2 connects to GO. Reason behind this was PTK getting

It might also have been causing other stability issues because of the
different location of the PLL_BYPASS bit which needs to be set during
PLL clock initialization.
This patch also removes more instances of hardcoded register values in
