There is no benefit in retaining the legacy rate control module
in the driver codebase.
It is known to be buggy and has less than optimal performance
in real-world environments compared with minstrel. The only
reason that it was kept when we made the switch to minstrel
as default was that it showed higher throughput numbers in a
clean/ideal environment.
This is no longer the case and minstrel can push ath9k to
the same throughput levels. In TCP, with 3-stream cards, more than
295 Mbps can be obtained in open air, with 2-stream cards,
210 Mbps is easily reached. To test performance issues,
instead of using a broken rate control module, it is better
to use the fixed-rate interface provided by mac80211 anyway.
The ath9k RC has not received any bug fixes in years and is
just bit-rotting away - this patch removes it.

Even though we make sure PowerSave is not enabled by default
by disabling the flag, WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT on init,
PS could be enabled by userspace based on various factors
like battery usage etc. Since PS in ath9k is just broken
and has been untested for years, remove support for it, but
allow a user to explicitly enable it using a module parameter.

The Buffalo device WZR-HP-G450H uses the index 3 for TX gain,
which is set to the high_power table currently. Later variants
of the router use the same index, but instead refer to the
low_ob_db gain table. This is not handled in the driver since
there is no way to distinguish board revisions and the high_power
table is used (incorrectly) for the newer variants.
By default, devices based on AR9300 using the TX gain index 3 have
to use the high_power table. To make sure that WZR-HP-G450H is not
broken when the high_power table is updated, use a separate array
based on information obtained from the platform data.
The current situation where only the original variant of WZR-HP-G450H
works properly stays unchanged.

When operating in client mode, the short period of time between scanning
and associating is often enough to put the hardware through several
FULL-SLEEP <-> AWAKE transitions, each wakeup requiring a reset to fully
recover the hardware.
This is completely unnecessary and can easily be avoided by deferring
the switch to full sleep.
