Felix Fietkau 6790ae7a13 ath9k_hw: remove the old ANI implementation
It was found to be buggy on a variety of chipsets from AR913x to AR928x.
The new version (which was introduced along with AR93xx support) is more
reliable in preventing connectivity dropouts and also fixes MIB interrupt
storm issues.

fix to make iwlwifi report a more accurate skb->truesize but this
conflicted with RX path changes that happened meanwhile in net-next.

In e1000e a conflict arose in the validation code for settings of

Gabor Juhos 64ea57d0c7 ath9k: add an extra boolean parameter to ath9k_hw_apply_txpower
In order to unifying regulatory limit handling
commit ca2c68cc7b
(ath9k_hw: clean up tx power handling) introduced
a new helper function 'ath9k_hw_apply_txpower',
and the direct calls of 'ah->eep_ops->set_txpower'
has been replaced by a call of the helper function.

This caused a change in the behaviour of the
'ath9k_hw_set_txpowerlimit' function. The purpose
of that function is to calculate and store the
rate txpower table and the regulatory limit without
touching the hardware registers. Before the commit,
the 'test' parameter of the function was passed to
the 'ah->eep_ops->set_txpower'. Now the calling of
the 'set_txpower' function happens indirectly through
'ath9k_hw_apply_txpower', so the 'test' argument of
the 'set_txpower' is always 'false'.

This patch restores the original behaviour of
'ath9k_hw_set_txpowerlimit' by adding a new
argument to 'ath9k_hw_apply_txpower.'

Rajkumar Manoharan 54da20d83f ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters
This patch improves ANI operations by switching among the immunity
levels based on PHY errors and beacon rssi which will adjust receiver
desensitizing parameters. The changes are

* Configure the Weak Signal Detection based on current immunity value.
* At highest OFDM immunity level poor performance was observed with
  strong interference. By tuning the FIR step and spur immunity levels
  and not changing any weak signal detection thresholds at any level
  helped to improve the performance.
* ANI took long time to recover back to lower immunity levels on heavy
  data load. As the listen time got reset to zero before reaching to
  the 5x of aniperiod, the immunity level is not lowering back even
  without any interference. This patch fix that.

Felix Fietkau ca2c68cc7b ath9k_hw: clean up tx power handling
The code for handling various restrictions concerning regulatory limits,
antenna gain, etc. is very convoluted and duplicated across various
EEPROM parsing implementations, making it hard to review.

This patch partially cleans up the mess by unifying regulatory limit
handling in one function and simplifying handling of antenna gain.
It also removes unused transmit power scaling arrays from the EEPROM code,
which belonged to an unimplemented API that isn't supposed to be in
the driver anyway.

Rajkumar Manoharan e7fc63388d ath9k_hw: Speedup register ops for HTC driver
Fine-tuning register write operation and avoid unnecessay
delays for ath9k_htc driver, saves hw reset time which
improves scanning time and also solves one of the following
scenario.

Sometimes the ACK is sent by STA for assoc response is not
seen at AP side. So the AP continues to send retry assoc
responses. At the STA side, since the assoc response was
already forwarded to mac80211, it proceeded to channel change
which in turns does chip reset.

In most of the cases the chip reset was completed before
max retries are reached at AP side. Hence STA can able to ACK
the retried frames again. But in clear environment these retries
are completed within shortspan of time.

Since ath9k_htc consumes more time for hw reset, this latency
is causing dissociation by AP due to max reties are reached.
This issue was originally reported with Cisco Aironet 1250 AP
in HT40 mode in noise free environment.

In the future, we want to use these counters to determine the medium utilization
and export this information via survey. For that, we need to make sure that
the counter is only accessed from one place, which also ensures that
wraparounds won't occur at inconvenient points in time.

Felix Fietkau 7a37081e2e ath9k_hw: simplify revision checks for AR9280
Since AR9280 v1.0 was never sold (and the initvals removed), v1.0 specific
revision checks can be removed and the 'v2.0 or later' check can be
simplified to a check for AR9280 or later.

Felix Fietkau 866b7780fc ath9k_hw: fix invalid extension channel noisefloor readings in HT20
When the hardware is configured in HT20 mode, noise floor readings for
the extension channel often return invalid values, which keep the
values in the NF history buffer at the hardware-specific maximum limit.
Fix this by discarding the extension channel values when in HT20 mode.

Felix Fietkau bbacee13f4 ath9k: merge noisefloor load implementations
AR5008+ and AR9003 currently use two separate implementations of the
ath9k_hw_loadnf function. There are three main differences:

 - PHY registers for AR9003 are different
 - AR9003 always uses 3 chains, earlier versions are more selective
 - The AR9003 variant contains a fix for NF load timeouts

This patch merges the two implementations into one, storing the
register array in the ath_hw struct. The fix for NF load timeouts is
not just relevant for AR9003, but also important for earlier hardware,
so it's better to just keep one common implementation.

Luis R. Rodriguez e36b27aff1 ath9k: add new ANI implementation for AR9003
This adds support for ANI for AR9003. The implementation for
ANI for AR9003 is slightly different than the one used for
the older chipset families. It can technically be used for
the older families as well but this is not yet fully tested
so we only enable the new ANI for the AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002
families with a module parameter, force_new_ani.

The old ANI implementation is left intact.

Details of the new ANI implemention:

  * ANI adjustment logic is now table driven so that each ANI level
    setting is parameterized. This makes adjustments much more
    deterministic than the old procedure based logic and allows
    adjustments to be made incrementally to several parameters per
    level.

  * ANI register settings are now relative to INI values; so ANI
    param zero level == INI value. Appropriate floor and ceiling
    values are obeyed when adjustments are combined with INI values.

  * ANI processing is done once per second rather that every 100ms.
    The poll interval is now a set upon hardware initialization and
    can be picked up by the core driver.

  * OFDM error and CCK error processing are made in a round robin
    fashion rather than allowing all OFDM adjustments to be made
    before CCK adjustments.

  * ANI adjusts MRC CCK off in the presence of high CCK errors

  * When adjusting spur immunity (SI) and OFDM weak signal detection,
    ANI now sets register values for the extension channel too

  * When adjusting FIR step (ST), ANI now sets register for FIR step
    low too

  * FIR step adjustments now allow for an extra level of immunity for
    extremely noisy environments

  * The old Noise immunity setting (NI), which changes coarse low, size
    desired, etc have been removed. Changing these settings could affect
    up RIFS RX as well.

  * CCK weak signal adjustment is no longer used

  * ANI no longer enables phy error interrupts; in all cases phy hw
    counting registers are used instead

  * The phy error count (overflow) interrupts are also no longer used
    for ANI adjustments. All ANI adjustments are made via the polling
    routine and no adjustments are possible in the ISR context anymore

  * A history settings buffer is now correctly used for each channel;
    channel settings are initialized with the defaults but later
    changes are restored when returning back to that channel

  * When scanning, ANI is disabled settings are returned to (INI) defaults.

  * OFDM phy error thresholds are now 400 & 1000 (errors/second units) for
    low/high water marks, providing increased stability/hysteresis when
    changing levels.

  * Similarly CCK phy error thresholds are now 300 & 600 (errors/second)
