22d8d9f81b ath5k: Use capabilities information for the number of TX queues
One thing I missed in my WME series: Older hardware does not have enough
hardware queues to support WME. In this case we just set up one data queue. Use
the capability information to decide how many queues to set up.

8aec7af99b ath5k: Support synth-only channel change for AR2413/AR5413
* Add synth-only channel change for AR2413/5413. When we call
 ath5k_reset with a channel ath5k_hw_reset will first try to
 set channel on PHY while PHY is running instead of doing a normal
 full reset. To do this phy_init has to change to implement this
 functionality.

 * Clean up change_channel flag, what it really did was skip PCU
 registers when setting initvals. This is done because on reset
 PCU registers are not affected (except the registers we set
 in pcu init and -due to hw problems- TSF). Use a new skip_pcu
 flag that's not misleading instead. In the future we might use
 that to also skip PCU reset and save us the TSF etc problems
 (needs testing because standard practice is to reset everything).

 * Use fast channel change only when setting channel, and set skip_pcu
 to false only on init. When we reset the card due to DMA or PHY
 problems skip pcu but never do a fast channel change.

234132960d ath5k: Keep last descriptor in queue
If we return a TX descriptor to the pool of available descriptors, while a
queues TXDP still points to it we could potentially run into all sorts of
troube.

It has been suggested that there is hardware which can set the descriptors
done bit before it reads ds_link and moves on to the next descriptor. While the
documentation says this is not true for newer chipsets (the descriptor contents
are copied to some internal memory), we don't know about older hardware.

To be safe, we always keep the last descriptor in the queue, and avoid dangling
TXDP pointers. Unfortunately this does not fully resolve the problem - queues
still get stuck!

This is similar to what ath9k does.

925e0b0613 ath5k: Use four hardware queues
Prepare ath5k for WME by using four hardware queues.

The way we set up our queues matches the mac80211 queue priority 1:1, so we
don't have to do any mapping for queue numbers.

Every queue uses 50 of the total 200 available transmit buffers, so the DMA
memory usage does not increase with this patch, but it might be good to
fine-tune the number of buffers per queue later (depending on the CPU speed and
load, and the speed of the medium access, it might not be big enough).

8a63facc37 ath5k: reorder base.c to remove fwd decls
This change reorganizes the main ath5k file in order to re-group
related functions and remove most of the forward declarations
(from 61 down to 3).  This is, unfortunately, a lot of churn, but
there should be no functional changes.

e0f8c2a9b8 ath5k: Use common ath key management functions
Use common ath key management functions in ath5k. This fixes problems with HW
encryption in AP mode, which was broken in the ath5k implementation.

Before (with the ath5k implementation) only one client could connect to the AP
using HW encryption and WPA. When a second client connected, the first client
was not able to send/receive any more packets. Because of the problems with HW
encryption, software encryption was always used in AP mode, which resulted in a
high CPU load (and/or low thruput) on embedded devices. Instead of trying to
fix the implementation in ath5k it makes more sense to share the code with
ath9k.

This also enables HW encryption for AP mode again.

d8e1ba76d6 ath5k: check return value of ieee80211_get_tx_rate
This avoids a NULL pointer dereference as reported here:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625889

When the WARN condition is hit in ieee80211_get_tx_rate, it will return
NULL.  So, we need to check the return value and avoid dereferencing it
in that case.

df1c2986c4 ath5k: re-order one of the frees on unwind
There was a small misordering here.  In the original code, if we were to
go to err_free_ah then it wouldn't free the irq.

30bf4169ad ath5k: don't enable probe request rx for STAs
AR5K_RX_FILTER_PROBEREQ enables reception of probe requests,
but the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC is actually about
receiving beacons and probe _responses_, so we shouldn't
turn on the filter when scanning.

23538c268c ath5k: remove monitor check in receive_frame_ok filter
Monitor interfaces are never seen by the driver, so tests based on
that opmode don't make sense.  Also, we already pass all mic
failure packets.

Consequently this code is actually accepting any frames with just
crypto errors and rejecting those with CRC, FIFO, and PHY errors for
all interface types.  Adjust the code and comment accordingly.
