Gustavo A. R. Silva 641c1f4ab7 ath9k: remove unnecessary code
The array field eeprom_data in struct th9k_platform_data
is a fixed size array so it can never be NULL.

Martin Blumenstingl 4bca5303eb ath9k: define all EEPROM fields in Little Endian format
The ar9300_eeprom logic is already using only 8-bit (endian neutral),
__le16 and __le32 fields to state explicitly how the values should be
interpreted.
All other EEPROM implementations (4k, 9287 and def) were using u16 and
u32 fields with additional logic to swap the values (read from the
original EEPROM) so they match the current CPUs endianness.

The EEPROM format defaults to "all values are Little Endian", indicated
by the absence of the AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN in the u8 EEPMISC
register. If we detect that the EEPROM indicates Big Endian mode
(AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN is set in the EEPMISC register) then we'll
swap the values to convert them into Little Endian. This is done by
activating the EEPMISC based logic in ath9k_hw_nvram_swap_data even if
AH_NO_EEP_SWAP is set (this makes ath9k behave like the FreeBSD driver,
which also does not have a flag to enable swapping based on the
AR5416_EEPMISC_BIG_ENDIAN bit). Before this logic was only used to
enable swapping when "current CPU endianness != EEPROM endianness".

After changing all relevant fields to __le16 and __le32 sparse was used
to check that all code which reads any of these fields uses
le{16,32}_to_cpu.

Martin Blumenstingl 68fbe79291 ath9k: Make the EEPROM swapping check use the eepmisc register
There are two ways of swapping the EEPROM data in the ath9k driver:
1) swab16 based on the first two EEPROM "magic" bytes (same for all
   EEPROM formats)
2) field and EEPROM format specific swab16/swab32 (different for
   eeprom_def, eeprom_4k and eeprom_9287)

The result of the first check was used to also enable the second swap.
This behavior seems incorrect, since the data may only be byte-swapped
(afterwards the data could be in the correct endianness).
Thus we introduce a separate check based on the "eepmisc" register
(which is part of the EEPROM data). When bit 0 is set, then the EEPROM
format specific values are in "big endian". This is also done by the
FreeBSD kernel, see [0] for example.

This allows us to parse EEPROMs with the "correct" magic bytes but
swapped EEPROM format specific values. These EEPROMs (mostly found in
lantiq and broadcom based big endian MIPS based devices) only worked
due to platform specific "hacks" which swapped the EEPROM so the
magic was inverted, which also enabled the format specific swapping.
With this patch the old behavior is still supported, but neither
recommended nor needed anymore.

Martin Blumenstingl 5639851996 ath9k: simplify the code-paths when not using the built-in EEPROM
There were two paths in the code for "external" eeprom sources. The code
in eeprom.c only handled the cases where the eeprom data was loaded via
request_firmware. ahb.c and pci.c on the other hand had some duplicate
code which was only used when the eeprom data was passed via
ath9k_platform_data.
With this change all eeprom data handling is now unified in eeprom.c.

Arnd Bergmann 83d6f1f15f ath9k: fix buffer overrun for ar9287
Code that was added back in 2.6.38 has an obvious overflow
when accessing a static array, and at the time it was added
only a code comment was put in front of it as a reminder
to have it reviewed properly.

This has not happened, but gcc-6 now points to the specific
overflow:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c: In function 'ath9k_hw_get_gain_boundaries_pdadcs':
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c:483:44: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
     maxPwrT4[i] = data_9287[idxL].pwrPdg[i][4];
                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~

It turns out that the correct array length exists in the local
'intercepts' variable of this function, so we can just use that
instead of hardcoding '4', so this patch changes all three
instances to use that variable. The other two instances were
already correct, but it's more consistent this way.

Martin Blumenstingl 6fa658fd5a ath9k: Simplify and fix eeprom endianness swapping
The three eeprom implementations had quite some duplicate code when it
came to endianness swapping.
Additionally there was a bug in eeprom_4k and eeprom_9287 which
prevented the endianness swapping from working correctly, because the
swapping code was guarded within an "if (!ath9k_hw_use_flash(ah))". In
eeprom_def this check did not exist, so it seems that eeprom_def was the
only implementation where endianness swapping worked.

This patch takes the duplicate code and moves it from eeprom_* to
eeprom.c. The new code is derived from eeprom_def, while taking into
account the specifics from the other implementations.

Gabor Juhos ab5c4f71d8 ath9k: allow to load EEPROM content via firmware API
The calibration data for devices w/o a separate
EEPROM chip can be specified via the 'eeprom_data'
field of 'ath9k_platform_data'. The 'eeprom_data'
is usually filled from board specific setup
functions. It is easy if the EEPROM data is mapped
to the memory, but it can be complicated if it is
stored elsewhere.

The patch adds support for loading of the EEPROM
data via the firmware API to avoid this limitation.

This depends on the analog_shiftreg configuration option,

Senthil Balasubramanian dd8b15b027 ath9k: RX stucks during heavy traffic in HT40 mode.
Running iperf along with p2p traffic on both TX and RX side then
stop one side, then stop the other side, then start it up again,
eventually the STA gets into a mode that it can not pass data at
all.

A hardware workaround for invalid RSSI can make FIFO write pointer
to jump over read pointer, causing RX data corruption and repeated
DMA. Both TX and RX works fine when the workaround is disabled.

To replace the original hardware work around, software looks for
frames with post delimiter CRC error and mark the RSSI invalid so
that the upperlayer will not use the RSSI associated with this
frame. So disable the hardware workaround by updating the appropriate
registers.

This patch makes the return type of some of the functions
void as those functions always return true
