14fec8d9ba ath9k_hw: remove duplicate initvals
Comparing SHA1 checksums of the initval tables has shown that there are many
tables that are 100% identical.

iniBank{0,1,2,3,7} and iniBB_RfGain are shared by AR5416, AR913x, AR9160
iniBank6 is shared between AR5416 and AR9160
iniBank6TPC is shared between AR913x and AR9160

iniPcieSerdes is the same for all AR9002 based devices

The CCK FIR coefficients are shared between AR9271 and AR9287

Getting rid of those duplicates saves about 7.5k uncompressed (on MIPS).

For AR9003 and later there are some duplicates as well, but I've decided to
leave them in for now, as the initvals for those chips are still actively
maintained by QCA.

0ea10f2b46 ath6kl: assign Tx packet drop threshold per endpoint based on AC priority
Tx packets will begin to drop when there are multiple traffic priorities
and the current traffic is not the highest priority and the remaining
cookies drop below a certain number, which is fixed for all AC. It is
possilbe that lower priority AC have more traffic which will consume
more cookies and lock out higher priority AC from having any. Assign
each endpoint (AC) with a different Tx-packet-drop threshold so lower
priority AC is more likely to drop packets and the cookies become more
available to higher priority AC.

8860020e0b cfg80211: restructure AP/GO mode API
The AP/GO mode API isn't very clearly defined, it
has "set beacon" and "new beacon" etc.

Modify the API to the following:
 * start AP -- all settings
 * change beacon -- new beacon data
 * stop AP -- stop AP mode operation

This also reflects in the nl80211 API, rename
the commands there correspondingly (but keep
the old names for compatibility.)

Overall, this makes it much clearer what's going
on in the API.

Kalle developed the ath6kl changes, I created
the rest of the patch.

b29072cc7b ath6kl: prioritize Tx bundling based on AC priorities
Tx bundling is the more efficient use of SDIO bus and allows more packet
transfers with fewer bus transactions, and is a way to improve overall
throughput. However, Tx bundling has only 4 scatter request resources available.
When there are multiple traffic streams of different priorities, it's possible
that lower priority traffic may hog all the scatter requests and lock out the
higher prioirty traffic from bundling.
Tx bundling is now enabled per AC. When an AC do a scatter request and
the remaining scatter request resources is lower than a configurable
threshold, it will disable Tx bundling for all AC's of lower priorities.
When an AC has Tx bundling disabled and has no Tx bundles sent in a
consecutive and configurable number of packets, Tx bundling will be re-enabled
for that AC.

9b9a4f2aca ath6kl: store firmware logs in skbuffs
Currently firmware logs are stored in a circular buffer, but this was
not very flexible and fragile. It's a lot easier to store logs to struct
skbuffs and store them in a skb queue. Also this makes it possible
to easily increase the buffer size, even dynamically if we so want (but
that's not yet supported).

From user space point of view nothing should change.

55a2bb4a6d ath9k_hw: fix a RTS/CTS timeout regression
commit adb5066 "ath9k_hw: do not apply the 2.4 ghz ack timeout
workaround to cts" reduced the hardware CTS timeout to the normal
values specified by the standard, but it turns out while it doesn't
need the same extra time that it needs for the ACK timeout, it
does need more than the value specified in the standard, but only
for 2.4 GHz.

This patch brings the CTS timeout value in sync with the initialization
values, while still allowing adjustment for bigger distances.

f88373fa47 ath9k: fix a WEP crypto related regression
commit b4a82a0 "ath9k_hw: fix interpretation of the rx KeyMiss flag"
fixed the interpretation of the KeyMiss flag for keycache based lookups,
however WEP encryption uses a static index, so KeyMiss is always asserted
for it, even though frames are decrypted properly.
Fix this by clearing the ATH9K_RXERR_KEYMISS flag if no keycache based
lookup was performed.

07445f6882 ath9k: Fix kernel panic during driver initilization
all works need to be initialized before ieee80211_register_hw
to prevent mac80211 call backs such as drv_start, drv_config
getting started. otherwise we would queue/cancel works before
initializing them and it leads to kernel panic.
this issue can be recreated with the following script
in Chrome laptops with AR928X cards, with background scan
running (or) Network manager is running

while true
do
sudo modprobe -v ath9k
sleep 3
sudo modprobe -r ath9k
sleep 3
done
