On A-MPDU frames, the hardware only reports valid signal strength data for
the last subframe. The driver also mangled rx_stats->rs_rssi using the
ATH_EP_RND macro in a way that may make sense for ANI, but definitely
not for reporting to mac80211.
This patch changes the code to calculate the signal strength from the rssi
directly instead of taking the average value, and flag everything but
the last subframe in an A-MPDU to tell mac80211 to ignore the signal strength
entirely, fixing signal strength fluctuation issues reported by various
users.

The way this is implemented (simply storing the last value) is absolutely

Firmware has the option to support the listen interval
per vif specific. Fix this.
Listen interval can be set by the TUs or by the number
of beacons. Current code enables the user to configure
the listen interval in the unit of 'number of beacons'
using debugfs entry "listen_interval". Going forward,
we need to alter the listen interval in the unit of TUs
to get good power numbers while going to WOW suspend/resume.
Allowing the user to change the listen interval in
the unit of "number of beacons" in debugfs and changing
listen interval in wow suspend/resume in the unit of
time (TUs) would lead us to confuse.
This patch make sures the listen interval is changed only
in the unit of time (TUs).

Below two scenarios are taken care in this patch which helped
to fix the firmware crash during wow suspend/resume.
* TX operation (ctrl tx and data tx) has to be controlled based
on suspend state. i.e, with respect to WOW mode, control packets
are allowed to send from the host until the suspend state goes
ATH6KL_STATE_WOW and the data packets are allowed until WOW
suspend operation starts.
* Similarly, wow resume is NOT allowed if WOW suspend is in progress.

It gives flexibility to the user to define suspend policy
when the suspend mode is set to WOW and the device is in
disconnected state at the time of suspend.
New module parameter wow_mode is added to get the choice
from the user. This parameter is valid only if the module
parameter suspend_mode is set to WOW.
To force WOW in connected state and cut power
in disconnected state:
suspend_mode=0x3 wow_mode=0x1
To force WOW in connected state and deep sleep
in disconnected state (this is also the default wow_mode):
suspend_mode=0x3 wow_mode=0x2
If there is no value specified to wow_mode during insmod,
deep sleep mode will be tried in the disconnected state.

All other Atheros drivers run the AGC gain calibration and DC offset
calibration only after reset. Running them periodically has caused stability
issues on some (primarily AR2315/2413/5413/5414 based) devices, leading to
messages such as:
ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2462MHz)
ath5k phy0: calibration of channel 11 failed

Some calibration types interfere with tx activity, but the queue stop does
not prevent that. In fact, some calibration types need tx activity to properly
function, so stopping the queues for them is counterproductive.
In some tests this patch has been shown to improve stability, especially in
AP or ad-hoc mode.

The commit "ath6kl: Use a mutex_lock to avoid

state where ath6kl_sdio_irq_handler() would be waiting
to claim the sdio function for receive indefinitely
when things happen in the following order.
ath6kl_sdio_irq_handler()
- aquires mtx_irq
- sdio_release_host()
ath6kl_sdio_irq_disable()
- sdio_claim_host()
- sleep on mtx_irq
ath6kl_hif_intr_bh_handler()
- (indefinitely) wait for the sdio
function to be released to exclusively claim
it again for receive operation.
Fix this by replacing the mtx_irq with an atomic
variable and a wait_queue.
