Felix Fietkau 066dae93bd ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix queue stopping/waking
The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.

The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).

This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.

To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).

It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).

To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.

Christian Lamparter 3eedb6f436 carl9170: configurable beacon rates
Previously, the beacon rate was fixed to either:
 * 1Mb/s [2.4GHz band]
 * 6Mb/s [5GHz band]

This limitation has been addressed and now the
beacon rate is selected by ieee80211_tx_info's
rate control info, almost like any ordinary
data frame.

Christian Lamparter 2a6cef513f carl9170: stop stale uplink BA sessions
This patch fixes a possible lengthy stall if the device
is operating as an experimental 11n AP and an STA
[during heavy txrx action] suddenly signalized to go
off-channel (old NetworkManager), or (sleep - which is
unlikely, because then it wouldn't be *active* at all!?).

Because the driver has to manage the BA Window, the
sudden PSM transition can leave active uplink BA
sessions to the STA in a bad state and a proper
cleanup is needed.

Christian Lamparter e4a668c590 carl9170: fix spurious restart due to high latency
RX Stress tests of unidirectional bulk traffic with
bitrates of up to 220Mbit/s have revealed that the
fatal-event recovery logic [which was solely triggered
by an out-of-rx-buffer situation] is too aggressive.

The new method now "pings" the device and then
decides - based on the response - whenever
a restart is needed or not.

 * add a forgotten __CARL9170FW__ ifdef around
   a private firmware-internal struct.

 * GET_VAL macro helper

Luis R. Rodriguez 78a7685e1e ath9k: add a debug warning when we cannot stop RX
We have seen several DMA races when we race against
stopping and starting the PCU. I suspect that when
we cannot stop the PCU we may hit some of these same
races so warn against them for now but only when
debugging (CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG) is enabled.

If you run into this warning and are a developer,
please fix the cause of the warning. The potential
here, although I cannot prove yet, is that the DMA
engine can be confused and start writing to a buffer
that was already DMA'd before and at least the kernel
assumes is not being accessed by hardware anymore.

Felix Fietkau ada9f1cacb ath9k_hw: optimize all descriptor access functions
Because all of the descriptor data structures are marked as __packed, GCC
assumes the worst case wrt. alignment and generates unaligned load/store
instructions on MIPS for access to all fields.
Since descriptors always have to be 4-byte-aligned, we can just mark the
data structures with __aligned(4), which allows GCC to generate much more
efficient code.

Luis R. Rodriguez 7583c550c3 ath9k: add locking for starting the PCU on RX
There was some locking for starting some parts of
RX but not for starting the PCU. Include this otherwise
we can content against stopping the PCU.

This can potentially lead to races against different
buffers on the PCU which can lead to to the DMA RX
engine writing to buffers which are already freed.

This is part of a series that will help resolve the bug:

Luis R. Rodriguez 1e45028528 ath9k: add locking for stopping RX
ath9k locks for starting RX but not for stopping RX. We could
potentially run into a situation where tried to stop RX
but immediately started RX. This allows for races on the
the RX engine deciding what buffer we last left off on
and could potentially cause ath9k to DMA into already
free'd memory or in the worst case at a later time to
already given memory to other drivers.

Fix this by locking stopping RX.

Felix Fietkau fac6b6a065 ath9k: resume aggregation immediately after a hardware reset
Since aggregation is usually triggered by tx completion, a hardware
reset (because of beacon stuck, tx hang or baseband hang) can
significantly delay the transmission of the next AMPDU (until the next
tx completion event).
Fix this by rescheduling aggregation after such a reset.

Felix Fietkau 0299a50abb ath9k: fix handling of rate control probe frames
The ath9k aggregation code was already checking the rate control probe flag
to prevent starting an aggregate frame with a sampling rate. What was missing
was closing an aggregate before adding a probing frame to it.
Without that, rate control cannot have precise control over probing, which
delays using faster rates when the channel conditions improve.

Luis R. Rodriguez 0dfa6dbb73 ath9k_hw: Fix TX carrier leakage for IEEE compliance on AR9003 2.2
This updates the initvals for the AR9003 2.2 chipsets. The initvals
are the initial register values we use for our registers upon hardware
reset. This synchs up the initvals to match what our latest recommendation
from our systems engineering team.

The description of changes in this update:

        Improves ability to support very strong Rx conditions.
        Enhances DFS support for AP-mode.
        Improves performance of Tx carrier leak calibration.
        Adds support for Japan channel 14 Tx filtering requirements.
        Improves Tx power accuracy.

Impact:

        Update required to address degraded throughput at very short range.
        Update required for AP-mode DFS certification.
        Update required to comply to IEEE Tx carrier leak specification.
        May not meet expected +/- 2 dB Tx power accuracy without update.

The most important fix here would be the TX carrier leakage required
to comply with IEEE 802.11 specifications. The group of changes have
been tested all together in one release.

Similar to carl9170_reboot/carl9170_powersave, the
carl9170_async_regwrite* macros would leak the
temporary command buffer, if __carl9170_exec_cmd
