These are the remaining knobs in ath9k to support DFS:
* mark AR9280 and AR9580 as DFS tested
* synchronize DFS regulatory domain to reg notifyer
* set required RX filter flags for radar detection
* process radar PHY errors at DFS detector
* notify DFS master on radar detection
DFS support requires CONFIG_ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED to be set.

ath_complete_reset will not be called if ath9k_hw_reset
is unsuccessful, so we need to re-enable intertupts to
balence the previous ath_prepare_reset call. Also schedule a
reset as a best effort method to recover the chip from
whatever state caused the channel change failure.

Marco Fonseca reported a issue with his carl9170 device:
"I'm seeing a problem with the carl driver. If I change channels
repeatedly on the 2.4ghz band, monitoring (e.g. tcpdump) will
eventually halt. I've seen this on various versions of the carl
driver/firmware (both from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7)"
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136381302428113>
The culprit was identified as "fast channel change feature" which
according to Adrian Chadd is: "... notoriously unreliable and
really only fully debugged on some very later chips."
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136416984531380>
Therefore, this patch removes the fast channel change feature.
The phy will now always have to go through a cold reset when
changing channels, but it should no longer become deaf.

The beacon and multicast-buffer queues are managed by the beacon

here. Running it on those queues anyway can introduce some race

The commit 'ath9k_hw: fix calibration issues on chainmask that don't
include chain 0' changed the hardware chainmask to the chip chainmask
for the duration of the calibration, but the revert to user
configuration in the reset path runs too early.
That causes some issues with limiting the number of antennas (including
spurious failure in hardware-generated packets).
Fix this by reverting the chainmask after the essential parts of the
calibration that need the workaround, and before NF calibration is run.

There are a number of situations in which mac80211 only
really needs to flush queues for one virtual interface,
and in fact during this frames might be transmitted on
other virtual interfaces. Calculate and pass a queue
bitmap to the driver so it knows which queues to flush.

Either first 3 bytes of the first received tcp segment or last one
over MTU size file can be loss due to the byte alignment problem.
Although ATH6KL_HTC_ALIGN_BYTES was defined for 'extra bytes for htc header
alignment' in the patch "Fix buffer alignment for scatter-gather
I/O"(1df94a857), there exists the bytes loss issue which means that it will be
truncated 3 bytes in the transmitted file contents if a file which has over MTU
size is transferred through TCP/IP stack. It doesn't look like TCP/IP stack
bug of 3.5 or the latest version of kernel but the byte alignment issue. This
patch is to use the roundup() function for the byte alignment rather than the
predefined ATH6KL_HTC_ALIGN_BYTES.

Dan found a check from ath6kl_rx() which doesn't make any sense at all:
" 1327 if (status || !(skb->data + HTC_HDR_LENGTH)) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
skb->data is a pointer. This pointer math is always going to be false.
Should it be testing "packet->act_len < HTC_HDR_LENGTH" or something?"
I don't know what the check really was supposed to do, but I think Dan's guess
is right. Fix it accordingly.

Now all log messages are sent through the tracing infrastruture as well.
Tracing point doesn't follow debug_mask module parameter, instead it sends
all debug messages, so once you enable ath6kl_log_dbg tracing point you will
get a lot of messages. Needs to be discussed if this is sensible or not.
The overhead should be small enough and we anyway include debug level as
well so it's easy to filter in user space.
I wasn't really sure what to do with ath6kl_dbg_dump() and for now decided
that it also sends the buffer to user space. But most likely in the future
ath6kl_dbg_dump() should go away in favor of using proper tracing points, but
we will see.

Add a tracing point for hif irq and dump the register content to user space.
This is in hif.c as we could use the same code also with SPI but, as ath6kl
doesn't SPI and most likely never will be, this is used just by SDIO so
name the trace point as ath6kl_sdio_irq to make it easier to manage filters.

New firmware allows for shorter SW reset procedure.
After SW reset, FW raises "fw done" IRQ, at this
moment mailbox control structures are initialized, driver caches it.
New status bit wil_status_reset_done introduced to track completion
of the reset. It is set by "fw ready" irq, and required for WMI rx flow
to access control structures.
WMI Tx flow protected by other status bit, wil_status_fwready. It can't
be set before wil_status_reset_done is set by design.
