1a04d59d3e ath9k: use a separate data structure for rx buffers
There's no shared code for handling both rx and tx buffers, and tx
buffers require a lot more metadata than rx buffers.
Using a separate data structure for rx reduces memory usage and improves
cache footprint.

d1ae25a017 ath9k: Fix ASPM workaround usage
The PCIE Workaround register (AR_WA/0x4004) is used to handle
various hardware quirks. For AR9002 chips, AR_WA_D3_L1_DISABLE
is used to prevent the HW from automatically entering L1 state
when D3 is enforced.

AR_WA_D3_L1_DISABLE has to be enabled for a few AR9280 based
cards, mark them based on their PCI subdevice/subvendor IDs
and enforce it in ar9002_hw_configpcipowersave().

2dfca312a9 mac80211: add a flag to indicate CCK support for HT clients
brcm80211 cannot handle sending frames with CCK rates as part of an
A-MPDU session. Other drivers may have issues too. Set the flag in all
drivers that have been tested with CCK rates.

This fixes a reported brcmsmac regression introduced in

approaches for non-EDMA-enabled and EDMA-enabled devices), and completes

5efac94999 ath9k: Use minstrel rate control by default
The ath9k rate control algorithm has various architectural
issues that make it a poor fit in scenarios like congested
environments etc.

An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191

Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can
be removed altogether later on.

531671cb17 ath9k: Disable PowerSave by default
Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.

73e4937d48 ath9k: add support for DFS master mode
These are the remaining knobs in ath9k to support DFS:
* mark AR9280 and AR9580 as DFS tested
* synchronize DFS regulatory domain to reg notifyer
* set required RX filter flags for radar detection
* process radar PHY errors at DFS detector
* notify DFS master on radar detection

DFS support requires CONFIG_ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED to be set.

The relay file depends on relayfs. Trying to close this file without having

0c0280bd0b wireless: make the reg_notifier() void
The reg_notifier()'s return value need not be checked
as it is only supposed to do post regulatory work and
that should never fail. Any behaviour to regulatory
that needs to be considered before cfg80211 does work
to a driver should be specified by using the already
existing flags, the reg_notifier() just does post
processing should it find it needs to.

Also make lbs_reg_notifier static.

e93d083f42 ath9k: add spectral scan feature
Adds the spectral scan feature for ath9k. AR92xx and AR93xx chips
are supported for now. The spectral scan is triggered by configuring
a mode through a debugfs control file. Samples can be gathered via
another relay debugfs file.

Essentially, to try it out:

echo chanscan > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl
iw dev wlan0 scan
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan0 > samples
echo disable > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl

This feature is still experimental.

The special "chanscan" mode is used to perform spectral scan while
mac80211 is scanning for channels. To allow this,
sw_scan_start/complete() ops have been added.

The patch contains code snippets and information from Zefir Kurtisi and
information provided by Adrian Chadd and Felix Fietkau.

36b07d15a6 ath9k: check pdata variable before dereferencing it
Due to my recent commit (ath9k: allow to load EEPROM
content via firmware API) smatch complains about that
the 'pdata' variable in 'ath9k_hw_init' can be NULL
and it is dereferenced before checking that. That is
absolutely correct.

Check the 'pdata' variable before using it to avoid
a NULL pointer dereference.

ab5c4f71d8 ath9k: allow to load EEPROM content via firmware API
The calibration data for devices w/o a separate
EEPROM chip can be specified via the 'eeprom_data'
field of 'ath9k_platform_data'. The 'eeprom_data'
is usually filled from board specific setup
functions. It is easy if the EEPROM data is mapped
to the memory, but it can be complicated if it is
stored elsewhere.

The patch adds support for loading of the EEPROM
data via the firmware API to avoid this limitation.

580bdac386 ath9k: Remove 'stations' debugfs file
The 'stations' debugfs file has multiple issues. It doesn't scale
to an arbitrary number of associated stations and allocating
64K is not elegant either. Now that changes have been made in
mac80211 to support dynamic creation/deletion of driver-specific
debugfs files on station addition/removal, remove this file and
make use of the mac80211 hooks (which will be done in a sebsequent
patch).
