Felix Fietkau bfc472bb73 ath9k_hw: remove code duplication in phy error counter handling
Split out the PHY error counter update from ath9k_hw_ani_monitor_*, reuse
it in ath9k_hw_proc_mib_event (merged from ath9k_hw_proc_mib_event_old
and ath9k_hw_proc_mib_event_new).

Felix Fietkau 093115b7fd ath9k_hw: clean up ANI state handling
ANI state is kept per channel, so instead of keeping an array of ANI states
with an arbitrary size of 255, move the ANI state into the channel struct.

Move some config settings that are not per-channel out of
the per-channel struct to save some memory.

With those changes, ath9k_ani_restart_old and ath9k_ani_restart_new can
be merged into a single function.

Felix Fietkau 435c1610f4 ath9k_hw: clean up register write buffering
Throughout the code, DISABLE_REGWRITE_BUFFER is always called right after
REGWRITE_BUFFER_FLUSH. Since that's unlikely to change any time soon, that
makes keeping those ops separate rather pointless, as it only increases
code size and line number counts.

Felix Fietkau 9dbebc7fd0 ath9k_hw: merge codepaths that access the cycle counter registers
The cycle counters are used by ANI to determine the amount of time that the
radio spent not receiving or transmitting. They're also used for debugging
purposes if the baseband watchdog on AR9003 detects a lockup.
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.

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)

Luis R. Rodriguez 40346b6679 ath9k_hw: inform ANI calibration when scanning
The new ANI implementation will use this to skip ANI
calibration upon a scan. This cannot be ported to the
older ANI implementation unless default ANI values from
the ANI are also used upon a scan. This is essentially
what one of the things thenew ANI does.

Luis R. Rodriguez ac0bb76791 ath9k_hw: allow for spliting up ANI operations by family
The AR9003 hardware family will use a slightly modified ANI
implementation which has not yet been tested on the other hardware
families. To allow for this new ANI implementation a few ANI
calls need to be abstracted away. This patch just allows for
each hardware family to declare their own ANI ops and annotates
the current ANI implementation as old.

Luis R. Rodriguez 6e97f0fb4d ath9k_hw: clear MIB interrupt causes when skipping ANI adjustments
We get an MIB interrupt when we hit certain PHY error counter
thresholds. If ANI is disabled but the MIB interrupt is enabled
we'll keep around the old MIB interrupt causes.

Since ath9k disables the MIB interrupt when ANI is disabled
this is not a fix, but more of a sanity fix in case we ever
need the MIB interrupt enabled but disabling ANI.

The PHY split is easier done in a few steps. First move
the RF ops to the private ops and rename them accordingly.
We split PHY stuff up first for the AR5008 and AR9002
families. There are some callbacks that AR9002 share
with the AR5008 familiy so we set those first, if AR9002
has some different callbacks it will override them upon
hardware init.

hw code for Atheros 802.11n hardware is commmon between
different chipsets. This moves this code into a separate
module, the next expected user of this code will be
the ath9k_htc module.

The ath9k/ dir is now selected by ATH9K_HW, an option which
gets selected by either ath9k or ath9k_htc, but remains
invisible for user menuconfig configuration. If either
ath9k or ath9k_htc will be compiled into the kernel
ath9k_hw will also be compiled in.
