In my setups, ath9k's debugfs files are most of the time much more
useful than the messages generated by enabling CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG along
with the right debug flags.
Since CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG comes with a noticeable overhead on embedded
systems, this patch makes it possible to use the debugfs files without
that option.

Update the beacon queue parameters with best effort queue parameters for

Atheros single stream AR9285 and AR9271 have half the PCU TX FIFO
buffer size of that of dual stream devices. Dual stream devices
have a max PCU TX FIFO size of 8 KB while single stream devices
have 4 KB. Single stream devices have an issue though and require
hardware only to use half of the amount of its capable PCU TX FIFO
size, 2 KB and this requires a change in software.
Technically a change would not have been required (except for frame
burst considerations of 128 bytes) if these devices would have been
able to use the full 4 KB of the PCU TX FIFO size but our systems
engineers recommend 2 KB to be used only. We enforce this through
software by reducing the max frame triggger level to 2 KB.
Fixing the max frame trigger level should then have a few benefits:
* The PER will now be adjusted as designed for underruns when the
max trigger level is reached. This should help alleviate the
bus as the rate control algorithm chooses a slower rate which
should ensure frames are transmitted properly under high system
bus load.
* The poll we use on our TX queues should now trigger and work
as designed for single stream devices. The hardware passes
data from each TX queue on the PCU TX FIFO queue respecting each
queue's priority. The new trigger level ensures this seeding of
the PCU TX FIFO queue occurs as designed which could mean avoiding
false resets and actually reseting hw correctly when a TX queue
is indeed stuck.
* Some undocumented / unsupported behaviour could have been triggered
when the max trigger level level was being set to 4 KB on single
stream devices. Its not clear what this issue was to me yet.

Software padding is done on the TX path and software unpadding is done on the
RX path. This patch corrects the position where the padding occurs. A specific
function computes the pad position and this function is used in the TX and RX
path. This patch has been tested by generating every possible 802.11 frames
with every possible frame_control field and a varying length. This patch is
useful for analyzing non standard 802.11 frames going over the air

When mac80211 was telling us to go into Powersave we listened
and immediately turned RX off. This meant hardware would not
see the ACKs from the AP we're associated with and hardware
we'd end up retransmiting the null data frame in a loop
helplessly.
Fix this by keeping track of the transmitted nullfunc frames
and only when we are sure the AP has sent back an ACK do we
go ahead and shut RX off.

To support 802.11n Tx aggregation support with iwmc3200 wifi, we have to
handle the UMAC_CMD_OPCODE_STOP_RESUME_STA_TX notification from the UMAC.
Before sending an AddBA, the UMAC synchronizes with the host in order to
know what is the last Tx frame it's supposed to receive before it will be
able to start the actual aggregation session.
We thus have to keep track of the last sequence number that is scheduled
for transmission on a particular RAxTID, send an answer to the UMAC with
this sequence number. The UMAC then does the BA negociation and once it's
done with it sends a new UMAC_CMD_OPCODE_STOP_RESUME_STA_TX notification
to let us know that we can resume the Tx flow on the specified RAxTID.

For inetdev notifications, it doesn't matter whether we use NOTIFY_DONE or
NOTIFY_OK, because it ignores the return value of the call to
blocking_notifier_call_chain(). But the notify.h header says that
NOTIFY_DONE is "Don't care" and NOTIFY_OK is "Suits me", so that seems to be
