300f77c08d ath9k: fix DMA stop sequence for AR9003+
AR93xx and newer needs to stop rx before tx to avoid getting the DMA
engine or MAC into a stuck state.
This should reduce/fix the occurence of "Failed to stop Tx DMA" logspam.

df1404650c mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC
This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with
the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the
monitor mode support should be used instead.

Removing it removes a lot of corner cases.

e3f31175a3 ath9k: fix race condition in irq processing during hardware reset
To fix invalid hardware accesses, the commit 872b5d814f ("ath9k: do not
access hardware on IRQs during reset") made the irq handler ignore interrupts
emitted after queueing a hardware reset (which disables the IRQ). This left a
small time window for the IRQ to get re-enabled by the tasklet, which caused
IRQ storms.  Instead of returning IRQ_NONE when ATH_OP_HW_RESET is set, disable
the IRQ entirely for the duration of the reset.

daad166028 ath9k: fix regression in bssidmask calculation
The commit that went into 3.17:

    ath9k: Summarize hw state per channel context

    Group and set hw state (opmode, primary_sta, beacon conf) per
    channel context instead of whole list of vifs. This would allow
    each channel context to run in different mode (STA/AP).

broke multi-vif configuration due to not properly calculating
the bssid mask.

The test case that caught this was:

 create wlan0 and sta0-4 (6 total), not sure how much that matters.
 associate all 6 (works fine)
 disconnect 5 of them, leaving sta0 up
 Start trying to bring up the other 5 one at a time.  It will
 fail, with iw events looking like this (in these logs, several
 sta are trying to come up, but symptom is the same with just one)

The patch causing the regression made quite a few changes, but
the part I think caused this particular problem was not
recalculating the bssid mask when adding and removing interfaces.

Re-adding those calls fixes my test case.  Fix bad comment
as well.

3b58014472 ath9k: fix processing RXORN interrupts
The "goto chip_reset" is a bit misleading, because it does not actually
issue a chip reset. Instead it is bypassing processing of other
interrupts and assumes that the tasklet will issue a chip reset.

In the case of RXORN this does not happen, so bypassing processing of
other interrupts will simply allow them to fire again. Even if RXORN
was triggering a reset, it is not critical enough to need the bypass
here.

1e929d3e02 ath9k: Do not start BA when scanning
mac80211 currently has a race which can be hit
with this sequence:

* Start a scan operation.
* TX BA is initiated by ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session().
* Driver sets up internal state and calls
  ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
* mac80211 adds a packet to sdata->skb_queue with
  type IEEE80211_SDATA_QUEUE_AGG_START.
* ieee80211_iface_work() doesn't process the
  packet because scan is in progress.
* ADDBA response timer expires and the sta/tid is
  torn down.
* Driver receives BA stop notification and calls
  ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
* This is also added to the queue by mac80211.
* Now, scan finishes.

At this point, the queued up packets might be processed
if some other operation schedules the sdata work. Since
the tids have been cleaned up already, warnings are hit.

If this doesn't happen, the packets are left in the queue
until the interface is torn down.

Since initiating a BA session when scan is in progress
leads to flaky connections, especially in MCC mode, we
can drop the TX BA request. This improves connectivity
with legacy clients in MCC mode.

25f3bc7dbd ath9k: Improve flush() in mcc mode
The flush timeout in MCC mode is very small, since
we are constrained by the time slice for each
channel context, but since only the HW queues are
flushed when switching contexts, it is acceptable.

Since the SW queues are also emptied in the mac80211 flush()
callback, a larger duration is needed. Add an override
argument to __ath9k_flush() and set it when flush()
is called in MCC mode. This allows the driver to
drain both the SW and HW queues.

e2d389b5aa ath9k: Check for pending frames properly
Pending frames in the driver can be present
either in the HW queues or SW. ath9k_has_pending_frames()
currently checks for the HW queues first and then
checks if any ACs are queued in the driver.

In MCC mode, we need to check the HW queues alone, since
the SW queues are just marked as 'stopped' - they will
be processed in the next context switch. But since we
don't differentiate this now, mention whether we want
to check if there are frames in the SW queues.

* The flush() callback checks both HW and SW queues.
* The tx_frames_pending() callback does the same.
* The call to __ath9k_flush() in MCC mode checks HW queues alone.

2fae0d9fb0 ath9k: Use configurable timeout for flush
The timeout value for flushing the TX queues
is hardcoded at 200ms right now. Use a channel
context-specific value instead to allow adjustments

ae2ff23930 ath9k: Set ATH_OP_HW_RESET before HW reset
When a HW reset is done, the interrupt tasklet is
disabled before ISRs are disabled in the HW. This
allows a small window where the HW can still generate
interrupts. Since the tasklet is disabled and not killed,
it is not scheduled but deferred for execution at a later
time.

This happens because ATH_OP_HW_RESET is not set when ath_reset()
is called. When the hw_reset_work workqueue is used, this
problem doesn't arise because ATH_OP_HW_RESET is set
and the ISR bails out.

Set ATH_OP_HW_RESET properly in ath_reset() to avoid
this race - all the ath_reset_internal() callers have
been converted to use ath_reset() in the previous patch.

b8f9279be0 ath9k: Enable multi-channel properly
In MCC mode, currently the decision to enable
the multi-channel state machine is done
based on the association status if one of
the interfaces assigned to a context is in
station mode.

This allows the driver to switch to the other
context before the current station is able to
complete the 4-way handshake in case it is
required and this causes problems.

Instead, enable multi-channel mode when the
station moves to the authorized state. This
disallows an early switch to the other channel.

868caae3fe ath9k: Enable HW queue control only for MCC
Enabling HW queue control for normal (non-mcc) mode
causes problems with queue management, resulting
in traffic stall. Since it is mainly required for
fairness in MCC mode, disable it for the general case.

b18111d911 ath9k: Fix crash in MCC mode
When a channel context is removed, the hw_queue_base
is set to -1, this will result in a panic because
ath9k_chanctx_stop_queues() can be called on an interface
that is not assigned to any context yet - for example,
when trying to scan.

Fix this issue by setting the hw_queue_base to zero
when a channel context is removed.

5ba8d9d2f0 ath9k: Fix queue handling for channel contexts
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.
