There were a few places where the sc->rxlink pointer was set to NULL "just in
case". This helps nothing - quite to the contrary it is problematic since it
can create self-linked rx descriptors in the middle of the list of receive
buffers.
Here is an example how this could happen (thanks Bob!):
cpu 0: cpu 1:
ath5k_rx_stop
ath5k_tasklet_rx
sc->rxlink = NULL; /* just in case */
// following doesn't link used
// buffer to prev.
ath5k_rxbuf_setup()
In the case of ath5k_rx_stop() and ath5k_stop_locked() buffers/descriptors are
not changed so rxlink should not be changed as well.
In ath5k_intr() we seem to try to work around a hardware bug, as the comment
(which is copied 1:1 from the HAL) suggests. I don't see how this could help.
Also the HAL does not set rxlink in this case (So where does this code come
from? It has been there since the first import of ath5k). Changed to just
increment a statistics counter.
After this patch rxlink is only set to NULL before we initialize rx descriptors
and updated when the descriptors are linked together.

Based on a patch from Bruno Randolf, attempting useful
work while we are resetting the chip just leads to interface
lockups and bad descriptor data, and possibly DMAing to
freed buffers. Let's suspend all tasklets while
reprogramming the registers in the card to avoid such
problems.
In the future we can convert the tasklets to threaded
interrupt handlers to simplify things.

We currently trigger a reset via a tasklet when certain error
conditions are detected so that the card will (eventually)
restart. Unfortunately this makes locking complicated since
reset can also be called in process context (e.g. for channel
change). Currently nothing protects against concurrent resets,
which can be the source of corruption bugs.
Reset takes too long to spinlock the whole thing, so this
patch moves deferred resets into the mac80211 workqueue to
enable use of sc->lock mutex.

When kernel-internal users use cfg80211_get_bss()
to get a reference to a BSS struct, they may end
up getting one that would have been removed from
the list if there had been any userspace access
to the list. This leads to inconsistencies and
problems.
Fix it by making cfg80211_get_bss() ignore BSSes
that cfg80211_bss_expire() would remove.

The patch 'ath9k: fix a buffer leak in A-MPDU completion' addressed the
issue of running out of buffers/descriptors in the tx path if a STA is
deleted while tx status feedback is still pending.
The remaining issue is that the skbs of the buffers are not reclaimed,
leaving a memory leak.
This patch fixes this issue by running the buffers through
ath_tx_complete_buf(), ensuring that the pending frames counter is also
updated.

AR5008+ and AR9003 currently use two separate implementations of the
ath9k_hw_loadnf function. There are three main differences:
- PHY registers for AR9003 are different
- AR9003 always uses 3 chains, earlier versions are more selective
- The AR9003 variant contains a fix for NF load timeouts
This patch merges the two implementations into one, storing the
register array in the ath_hw struct. The fix for NF load timeouts is
not just relevant for AR9003, but also important for earlier hardware,
so it's better to just keep one common implementation.

If the receive path gets stuck, a full hardware reset is necessary to
recover from it. If this happens during a scan, the whole scan might fail,
as each channel change bypasses the full reset sequence.
Fix this by resetting the fast channel change flag if stopping the
receive path fails.
This will reduce the number of error messages that look like this:
ath: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0x00000024 AR_DIAG_SW=0x40000020

Using the set_tim callback without managing the DTIM count and the
broad- and multicast buffering in hw, fw or the driver results in wrong
DTIM count values being sent out in beacons. Since all PCI drivers
fetch new beacons periodically and hence get an updated TIM we can just
remove the set_tim callback from these.
The rt2x00 USB drivers don't update the beacon periodically and thus
rely on the set_tim callback to get a correct TIM for beacon
transmission. USB devices still suffer from the DTIM count being wrong
under some circumstances but removing the set_tim callback from these
would cause more harm then good.

Use threaded interrupts for all rt2x00 PCI devices.
This has several generic advantages:
- Reduce the time we spend in hard irq context
- Use non-atmic mac80211 functions for rx/tx
Furthermore implementing broad- and multicast buffering will be
much easier in process context while maintaining low latency and
updating the beacon just before transmission (pre tbtt interrupt)
can also be done in process context.

The RSSI values in the RXWI descriptor aren't true RSSI
values. Instead they are more like the AGC values similar
to rt61pci. And as such, it needs the same conversion
before it can be passed to rt2x00lib/mac80211.
This requires the struct queue_entry to be passed to
rt2800_process_rxwi rather then the skb structure which
is contained in the queue_entry. This is required to
obtain the lna_gain information from the rt2x00_dev structure.

This patch is a complete rewrite of the scanning code. It now includes a

2.4GHz active, 2.4GHz passive, 5GHz active and 5GHz passive. The wl1271
firmware doesn't allow these sets to be mixed, so up to several scan commands
have to be issued. This patch also allows scanning more than 24 channels per
set, by breaking the sets into smaller parts if needed (the firmware can scan
a maximum of 24 channels at a time).
Previously, the scanning code was erroneously scanning all channels possible
actively, not complying with the CRDA values. This is also fixed with this
