47684808fd wl12xx: support FW TX inactivity triggers
In AP mode we register for the MAX_TX_RETRY and INACTIVE_STA events.
Both are reported to the upper layers as a TX failure in the offending
stations.

In STA mode we register only for the MAX_TX_RETRY event. A TX failure is
interpreted as a loss of connection.

Support for IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS has been removed to avoid
the inherent race condition of a mac80211 TX failure counter in addition
to the FW counter.

This patch depends on "mac80211: allow low level driver to report packet
loss"

c989bb15e9 cfg80211: fix regresion on reg user timeout
The patch "cfg80211: add a timer for invalid user reg hints"
introduced a regression for the case where a secondary identical
regulatory hint from a user is sent. What would happen is the
second hint would schedule delayed work in to catch a timeout
but since we are never processing it given that the hint was already
applied we'd always hit the timeout and and restore regulatory
settings back to world regulatory domain. This is fixed by simply
avoiding sheduling work if the hint was already applied.

be8d98eab8 p54: implement multicast filter
"For best CPU usage and power consumption, having as few
frames as possible percolate through the stack is
desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much
as possible."

Note: Not all firmwares include the multicast filter
feature and the stack does not filter them either.
The ARP filter on the other hand was dropped from the
patch since it does not work correctly:

Quote from: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@gmail.com>
<http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg67466.html>
"In the ARP case, when there's no other traffic on p54spi,
all ARP requests are dropped. But if there's some egress
traffic from p54spi, filter seems to work correctly:
only ARP requests that match filter pass through.

In the multicast case filter seems to work correctly, but
it treats broadcast as subject to that filtering too. By
default only 01:00:5e:00:00:01 gets into priv->mc_maclist,
so we miss all broadcasts.

These two filters seem to interfere:
- if we set ARP filter and multicast filter without bc
	=>  we miss all ARPs if there's no egress traffic;
- if we set ARP filter and multicast filter with bc or
	don't set mc filter at all => we get all ARPs.

This effect does not depend on filter setup order."

3782c69d6e ath9k_hw: Fix Tx IQ Calibration hang issue in AR9003 chips
On AR9003 chips, doing three IQ calibrations will possibly cause chip
in stuck state. In noisy environment, chip could receive
a packet during the middle of three calibrations and it causes
the conflict of HW access and the eventual failure. It also
causes IQ calibration outliers which results in poor Tx EVM.

The IQ Cal procedure is after resetting the chip, run IQ cal 3 times
per each cal cycle and find the two closest readings and average of two.
The advantage of running Tx IQ cal more than once is that we can compare
calibration results for the same gain setting over multiple iterations.
Most of the cases the IQ failures were observed after first pass.

For the AR9485 and later chips, Tx IQ Calibration is performed along
with AGC cal. But for pre-AR9485 chips, Tx IQ cal HW has to be separated
from the rest of calibration HW to avoid chip hang. After all
calibrations are done in HW, we can start SW post-processing.
By doing this way, we minimize the SW difference among all chips.

The order of calibration (run IQ cal before other calibration) is also
needed to avoid chip hang for chips before AR9485. This issue was
originally observed with AR9382.

During the issue kernel log was filled with following message
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0xa640: 0x00000001 & 0x00000001 != 0x00000000

788f6875fc ath9k: Fix bug in configuring hw timer
Hw next tigger time is configured as current_tsf + (timer_period * 10) which
is wrong, it should be current_tsf + timer_period. The wrong hw timer configuration
would cause btcoex related issues.

ca45de77ad mac80211: tear down BA sessions properly on suspend
Currently, the code to tear down BA sessions will
execute after queues are stopped, but attempt to
send frames, so those frames will just get queued,
which isn't intended. Move this code to before to
tear down the sessions properly.

Additionally, after stopping queues, flush the TX
queues in the driver driver to make sure all the
frames went out.

31d291a769 mwl8k: Enable life time expiry for tx packets in the hardware
Tell the firmware to enable the life time expiry of tx packets
in the hardware. The hardware will now refer to the timestamp
in every tx packet and decide whether the packet needs to be
dropped or transmitted.

3a76988879 mwl8k: Reserve buffers for tx management frames
Since queues are not stopped anymore, management frames would be
dropped if the corresponding tx queue is full.
This can cause issues say when we want to setup an ampdu stream and
action frames i.e addba requests keep getting dropped frequently.
Fix this by reserving some buffers to allow management frames to
go through in queue full conditions.

566875db50 mwl8k: Add timestamp information for tx packets
Timestamp tx packets using a HW micro-second timer.
This timestamp will be compared to the current timestamp
in the hardware and if the difference is greater than 500ms,
the packet will be dropped.
