a4d6367fa7 ath9k: Use HW HT capabilites properly
The commit "ath9k: Remove aggregation flags" changed how
nodes were being initialized. Use the HW HT cap bits
to initialize/de-initialize nodes, else we would be
accessing an uninitialized entry during a suspend/resume cycle,
resulting in a panic.

643c61e119 rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: rtl8192cu: rtl8192de: Fix low-gain setting when scanning
In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207, slowdowns of driver
rtl8192ce are reported. One fix (commit a9b89e2) has already been applied,
and it helped, but the maximum RX speed would still drop to 1 Mbps. As in
the previous fix, the initial gain was determined to be the problem; however,
the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started.

Driver rtl8192de also has the same code structure - this one is fixed as well.

195ca3b122 ath9k: reduce listen time period
When we have downlink traffic alone and the station is going thru
bgscan, the client is out of operating channel for around 1000ms which
is too long. The mac80211 decides when to switch back to oper channel
based on tx queue, bad latency and listen time. As the station does not
have tx traffic, the bgscan can easily affect downlink throughput. By
reducing the listen time, it helps the associated AP to retain the
downstream rate.

e92109be7a iwlegacy: fix BSSID setting
Current commit 0775f9f90cdaf40fbf69b3192b3dddb2b3436f45
"mac80211: remove spurious BSSID change flag" exposed bug on iwlegacy,
that we do not set BSSID address correctly and then device was not able
to receive frames after successful associate.

On the way fix scan canceling comment. Apparently ->post_associate()
do cancel scan itself, but scan cancel on BSS_CHANGED_BSSID is needed.
I'm not sure why, but when I removed it, I had frequent auth failures:

 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3)
 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3)

2ee0a07028 ath9k: fix max noise floor threshold
Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The
assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help
de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous
interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are
collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too
much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips
specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the
connection stability in congested networks.

377526578f libertas: remove dump_survey implementation
libertas provides a dump_survey implementation based on reading of
a RSSI value. However, this RSSI value is calculated based on the
last received beacon from the associated AP - it is not a good
way of surveying a channel in general, and even causes an error
if the card is not associated to a network.

As this is not appropriate as a survey, remove it. This fixes an
issue where something in userspace is repeatedly calling site-survey
during boot, resulting in many repeated errors as the RSSI value cannot
be read before associating.

f421111b5e rt2x00: rt2800usb: rework txstatus code
Currently we read tx status register after each urb data transfer. As
callback procedure also trigger reading, that causing we have many
"threads" of reading status. To prevent that introduce TX_STATUS_READING
flags, and check if we are already in process of sequential reading
TX_STA_FIFO, before requesting new reads.

Change timer to hrtimer, that make TX_STA_FIFO overruns less possible.
Use 200 us for initial timeout, and then reschedule in 100 us period,
this values probably have to be tuned.

Make changes on txdone work. Schedule it from
rt2800usb_tx_sta_fifo_read_completed() callback when first valid status
show up. Check in callback if tx status timeout happens, and schedule
work on that condition too. That make possible to remove tx status
timeout from generic watchdog. I moved that to rt2800usb.

Loop in txdone work, that should prevent situation when we queue work,
which is already processed, and after finish work is not rescheduled
again.

9d4f09b80f rt2x00: Set IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS in rt2800
rt2800 already reports the tx ack status of each frame back to mac80211.
Advertise this by setting IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS for rt2800.
This allows some mac80211 features like frame loss notifications to work
with rt2800.
