Add a misc file to show hardware op-mode, irq setup,
number of various types of VIFs and more.
Also, previous patches were using the wrong xmit queue
indexes. Change to use the internal ath9k indexes instead
of the mac80211 queue indexes.

Extend channel to frequency mapping for 802.11j Japan 4.9GHz band, according to
IEEE802.11 section 17.3.8.3.2 and Annex J. Because there are now overlapping
channel numbers in the 2GHz and 5GHz band we can't map from channel to
frequency without knowing the band. This is no problem as in most contexts we
know the band. In places where we don't know the band (and WEXT compatibility)
we assume the 2GHz band for channels below 14.
This patch does not implement all channel to frequency mappings defined in
802.11, it's just an extension for 802.11j 20MHz channels. 5MHz and 10MHz
channels as well as 802.11y channels have been omitted.
The following drivers have been updated to reflect the API changes:
iwl-3945, iwl-agn, iwmc3200wifi, libertas, mwl8k, rt2x00, wl1251, wl12xx.
The drivers have been compile-tested only.

The system can get into a state where the xmit queue
is stopped, but there are no packets pending, so
the queue will not be restarted.
Add logic to the xmit watchdog to attempt to restart
the xmit logic if this situation is detected.
Example 'dmesg' output:
ath: txq: f4e723e0 axq_qnum: 2, mac80211_qnum: 2 axq_link: f4e996c8 pending frames: 1 axq_acq empty: 1 stopped: 0 axq_depth: 0 Attempting to restart tx logic.

If the txq->axq_q is empty, the code was breaking out
of the tx_processq logic without checking to see if it should
transmit other queued AMPDU frames (txq->axq_acq).
This patches ensures ath_txq_schedule is called.
This needs review.

In drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/pci.c::_rtl_pci_rx_interrupt() we call
dev_alloc_skb(), which may fail and return NULL, but we do not check the
returned value against NULL before dereferencing the returned pointer.
This may lead to a NULL pointer dereference which means we'll crash - not
good.
In a separate call to dev_alloc_skb(), the debug level is changed so that
the failure message will always be logged.

There are several places where ath_reset() was called without proper
calls to ath9k_ps_wakeup/ath9k_ps_restore. To fix this, add those calls
directly to ath_reset and drop them from callers where it makes sense.
Also add them to the config callback around ath_update_txpow to fix a
crash that happens when the tx power changed before any vif is brought up.

AR9003's PAPRD was enabled prematurely, and is causing some
large discrepancies on throughput and network connectivity.
For example downlink (RX) throughput against an AR9280 AP
can vary widlely from 43-73 Mbit/s while disabling this
gets AR9382 (2x2) up to around 93 Mbit/s in a 2.4 GHz HT20 setup.

The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the
buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max
buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as
the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0
instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it
isn't possible to honour this request.
In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the
addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to
the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called
with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That
way the driver can limit the number of subframes in
aggregates appropriately.
Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the
addition of the new argument -- they all need to be
updated separately to use this variable!

When using a mixture of AP and Station interfaces,
the hardware mode was using the type of the
last VIF registered. Instead, we should keep track
of the number of different types of vifs and set the
mode accordingly.
In addtion, use the vif type instead of hardware opmode
when dealing with beacons.
Attempt to move some of the common setup code into smaller
methods so we can re-use it when changing vif mode as
well as adding/deleting vifs.

The ath9k_hw assumes that caldata is valid only for
oper channel. But with ath9k_htc case, the caldata is
passed for all channels on hw_reset though we are not doing
calibration on that channel. So the oper channel's nf history
got cleared to default due to mismatch in channel flags.

The rx error bit parsing was changed to consider PHY errors and various
decryption errors separately. While correct according to the documentation,
this is causing spurious decryption error reports in some situations.
Fix this by restoring the original order of the checks in those places,
where the errors are meant to be mutually exclusive.
If a CRC error is reported, then MIC failure and decryption errors
are irrelevant, and a PHY error is unlikely.

Since baseband hangs are rare, but the hang check function has a high
false positive rate in some situations, we need to add more reliable
indicators.
In AP mode we can use blocked beacon transmissions as an indicator,
they should be rare enough.
In station mode, we can skip the hang check entirely, since a true
hang will trigger beacon loss detection, and mac80211 will rescan,
which leads to a hw reset that will bring the hardware back to life.
To make this more reliable, we need to skip fast channel changes
if the hardware appears to be stuck.

The power detector adc offset calibration has to be done
on 4 minutes interval (longcal * pa_skip_count). But the commit
"ath9k_hw: fix a noise floor calibration related race condition"
makes the PA calibration executed more frequently beased on
nfcal_pending value. Running PAOffset calibration lesser than
longcal interval doesn't help anything and the worse part is that
it causes NF load timeouts and RX deaf conditions.
In a very noisy environment, where the distance b/w AP & station
is ~10 meter and running a downlink udp traffic with frequent
background scan causes "Timeout while waiting for nf to load:
AR_PHY_AGC_CONTROL=0x40d1a" and moves the chip into deaf state.
This issue was originaly reported in Android platform where
the network-manager application does bgscan more frequently
on AR9271 chips. (AR9285 family usb device).
