a13883b0bf ath9k: Reduce the frequency of PA offset calibration
PA calibration need not be done if the offset is not varying.
The current logic does PA calibration even if the offset is the
same.

56d1de0a21 ath5k: clean up filter flags setting
The maze of if() statements in configure_filter is confusing.
Reorganizing it as a switch statement makes it more apparent what
is going on and reveals several suspicious settings.  This has no
functional changes, though it does remove some redundant flags
that are set earlier.

Also now that we can sleep, protect sc->filter_flags with the
sc lock.

ff36041652 ath9k: Fix bug in retrieving average beacon rssi
Currently the beacon rssi that LPF gives is divided and rounded
up by ATH_RSSI_EP_MULTIPLIER twice. This will leave the incorrect rssi
in ANI. Having correct rssi in ANI fixes the connection stability at
< 30dB rssi range. This patch removes the unncessary computation of average
rssi over already valid average rssi. Also removes the redundant macros to
find average rssi.

3ac64beecd mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleep
Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.

A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

d15dd3e5d7 ath: add common ath_rxbuf_alloc() and make ath9k use it
Turns out ath5k and ath9k can share the same helper to
allocates RX skbs. We allocate skbs aligned to the cache line
size. This requirement seems to have come from AR5210; when
this was not done it seems sometimes we'd get bogus data. I'm
also told it may have been a performance enhancement
consideration. In the end I can't be sure we can remove this
on new hardware so just keep this and start sharing it through
ath.ko.

Make ath9k start using this, ath5k is next.

6e220662bf ath5k: Use SWI to trigger calibration
* Get rid of calibration timer, instead use a software interrupt
  to schedule the calibration tasklet.

 a) We don't need a timer for this, there is no need for accuracy
   even with round_jiffies i think this is a waste of resources.
   Also we don't need to run calibration if we are idle (no
   interrupts).

 b) When we add ANI support we 'll just extend the poll function
   and calibration tasklet and handle all periodic phy calibration
   on one place (much cleaner).

 c) Having calibration on a tasklet is better since during calibration
   we can't transmit or receive (antennas are detached to measure
   noise floor), previously calibration could run in parallel with
   tx/rx and interfere (packet loss).

 v2: kill tasklet on stop_hw, stop/wake queues
 v3: use time_is_before_eq_jiffies to compare timestamp with current
     time

95fafca26d ath9k: call ath9k_hw_detach() once upon hw init failure
If hw initialization fails (ath9k_hw_init()) on ath_init_softc()
we bail out and call ath9k_hw_detach(). The call ath9k_hw_detach()
is conditional though as ath9k_hw_init() could itself have called
ath9k_hw_detach(). Just describing this is itself a brain twister.
Avoid this nonsense by removing ath9k_hw_detach() from ath9k_hw_init().

Upon hw initialization failure we expect the callers to take care of
the cleanup.

42935ecaf4 mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue
The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.

We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:

  * ieee80211_queue_work()
  * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()

These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.

Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

ae6f53f25f ath5k: update PCU opmode whenever a new interface is added
Previously, we would store the operating mode at interface up time,
but only update the PCU registers when the next reset happened.
The result is that if beacon configuration (ops->bss_info_changed)
happens before ops->config, we will program the wrong things into
the timer registers.  Consequently, beacons won't work in AP mode
until after a reset (channel change, scan etc.).

This is fragile anyway so just program the opmode as soon as
mac80211 gives it to us.

ath9k uses the mac80211 workqueue for 4 different types of work:

 * Led blink work
 * TX hang monitoring work
 * internal wiphy schedular work
 * channel change work done for internal wiphy schedular

Since the internal wiphy schedular can end up kicking off some
channel channel change work we should first cancel the wiphy
schedular work and then the channel change work.

The TX hang work can be cancelled second since we're going down
anyway.

164ace3853 ath9k: Fix TX hang issue with Atheros chipsets
The hardware doesn't generate interrupts in some cases and so work
around this by monitoring the TX status periodically and reset the
chip if required.

This behavior of the hardware not generating the TX interrupts can
be noticed through ath9k debugfs interrupt statistics when heavy
traffic is being sent from STA to AP. One can easily see this behavior
when the STA is transmitting at a higher rates. The interrupt statistics
in the debugfs interface clearly shows that only RX interrupts alone
being generated and TX being stuck.

TX should be monitored through a timer and reset the chip only when
frames are queued to the hardware but TX interrupts are not generated
for the same even after one second. Also, we shouldn't remove holding
descriptor from AC queue if it happens to be the only descriptor and
schedule TX aggregation regarless of queue depth as it improves
scheduling of AMPDUs from software to hardware queue.

dd8b15b027 ath9k: RX stucks during heavy traffic in HT40 mode.
Running iperf along with p2p traffic on both TX and RX side then
stop one side, then stop the other side, then start it up again,
eventually the STA gets into a mode that it can not pass data at
all.

A hardware workaround for invalid RSSI can make FIFO write pointer
to jump over read pointer, causing RX data corruption and repeated
DMA. Both TX and RX works fine when the workaround is disabled.

To replace the original hardware work around, software looks for
frames with post delimiter CRC error and mark the RSSI invalid so
that the upperlayer will not use the RSSI associated with this
frame. So disable the hardware workaround by updating the appropriate
registers.

a59b5a5e68 ath9k: Manipulate and report the correct RSSI
RSSI reported by the RX descriptor requires little manipulation.
Manipulate and report the correct RSSI to the stack. This will
fix the improper signal levels reported by iwconfig iw dev wlanX

(falls to zero also sometimes) when iperf is run from STA to AP.

Also use the default noise floor for now as the one reported
during the caliberation seems to be wrong.

but to help debugging and downgrade this to a warn.

acbadf01ff ar9170: implement transmit aggregation
This patch roughly implements xmit aggregation for ar9170-like device.
Not all AP are compatible with the driver(and firmware) yet, so YMMV.

A more refined code will definitely need the final HT specification
to be available for the public, lots of firmware modification and
possibly a redesigned driver just for good measure.
Sadly, these conditions won't come true anytime soon...

5d2214ac5e ath: add support for special 0x8000 regulatory domain
Two users of ar9170 devices have now reported their cards
have been programmed with a regulatory domain of 0x8000.
This is not a valid regulatory domain as such these users were
unable to use these devices. Since this doesn't seem to be
a device EEPROM corruption we must treat it specially. It
may have been possible the manufacturer intended to use 0x0
as the regulatory domain and that would ultimately yield
to US but since we cannot get confirmationf or this we
default this special case to one of our world regulatory
domains, specifically 0x64.

c66284f2a4 ath9k: Tune ANI function processing on AP mode during ANI reset
For AP mode we must tune ANI specially for 2 GHz and
for 5 GHz. We mask in only the flags we want to toggle
on ath9k_hw_ani_control() through the ah->ani_function
bitmask, this will take care of ignoring changes during
ANI reset which we were disabling before.
