ed54388a38 ath10k: improve beacon submission latency
The patch prevents beacon misses in some case of
heavy load on a system.

If a beacon can't be transmitted directly from an
SWBA event it will be left in arvif->beacon and
transmission will be retried once TX credits
become available.

be8b394390 ath10k: make WMI commands block by design
This will be necessary for further changes in
command submission scheme.

Once HTC is cleaned up WMI commands will finally
block.

This requires for SWBA to be processed in a
non-atomic context for now. Once other necessary
changes are in this will be reverted.

e01ae68c5d ath10k: check chip id from the soc register during probe
ath10k doesn't support qca988x hw1.0 boards anymore. Unfortunately
the PCI id is the same in hw1.0 and hw2.0 so ath10k tries to use
hw1.0 boards anyway. But without hw1.0 workarounds in place
ath10k just crashes horribly.

To avoid using hw1.0 boards at all add a chip id detection
and fail the probe if hw1.0 is detected:

[ 5265.786408] ath10k: ERROR: qca988x hw1.0 is not supported
[ 5265.786497] ath10k: Unsupported chip id 0x043200ff
[ 5265.786574] ath10k: could not register driver core (-95)
[ 5265.793191] ath10k_pci: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -95

Also add a warning if there's an unknown chip id but continue
the boot process normally anyway.

0d9b0438b6 ath10k: add support for firmware newer than 636
The mgmt_rx event structure has been expanded.
Since the structure header is expanded the payload
(i.e. mgmt frame) is shifted by a few bytes. This
needs to be taken into account in order to support
both old and new firmware.

This introduces a fw_features to keep track of any
FW-related ABI/behaviour changes.

This implements a limited subset of what can be
reported in the survey dump.

This can be used for assessing approximate channel
load, e.g. for automatic channel selection.

8865bee483 ath10k: detect the number of spatial streams supported by hw
Until now ath10k assumed 3 spatial streams.
However some devices support only 2 spatial
streams.

This patch improves performance on devices that
don't support 3 spatial streams.

affd321733 ath10k: implement device recovery
Restart the hardware if FW crashes.

If FW crashes during recovery we leave the
hardware in a "wedged" state to avoid recursive
recoveries.

When in "wedged" state userspace may bring
interfaces down (to issue stop()) and then bring
one interface (to issue start()) to reload
hardware manually.

293850575d ath10k: store firmware files in memory
Different FW versions may provide different
functions thus mean different hw capabilities
advertised to mac80211.

It is safe to swap firmware files on disk during
driver/device runtime without worries.

8cd13cad1c ath10k: decouple suspend code
Split up fw-related and hw-related suspension code.

Although we don't advertise WoW support to
mac80211 yet it's useful to keep the code in
suspend/resume hooks.

At this point there's no need to keep pci pm ops.
In case of WoW mac80211 calls ath10k_suspend()
which should take care of entering low-power mode.
In case WoW is not available mac80211 will go
through regular interface teradown and use start/stop.

5e3dd157d7 ath10k: mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac CQA98xx devices
Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.

The wiki page for the driver is:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k

The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
