It does not make much sense to keep the current virtual wiphy implementation
any longer - it adds significant complexity, has very few users and is still
very experimental. At some point in time, it will be replaced by a proper
implementation in mac80211.
By making the code easier to read and maintain, removing virtual wiphy support
helps with fixing the remaining driver issues and adding further improvements.

Instead of spreading ath_wake_mac80211_queue() calls over multiple places
in the tx path that process the tx queue for completion, call it only
where the pending frames counter gets decremented, eliminating some
redundant checks.
To prevent queue draining from waking the queues prematurely (e.g. during
a hardware reset), reset the queue stop state when draining all queues,
as the caller in main.c will run ieee80211_wake_queues(hw) anyway.

The commit 'ath9k: Add more information to debugfs xmit file.' added more
debug counters to ath9k and also added some lines of code to ath9k_hw.
Since ath9k_hw is also used by ath9k_htc, its code must not depend on ath9k
data structures. In this case it was not fatal, but it's still wrong, so
the code needs to be moved back to ath9k.

There are few places where we are checking for macversion and revsions
before RTC is powered ON. However we are reading the macversion and
revisions only after RTC is powered ON and so both macversion and
revisions are actully zero and this leads to incorrect srev checks
Incorrect srev checks can cause registers to be configured wrongly and can
cause unexpected behavior. Fixing this seems to address the ASPM issue that
we have observed. The laptop becomes very slow and hangs mostly with ASPM L1
enabled without this fix.
fix this by reading the macversion and revisisons even before we start
using them. There is no reason why should we delay reading this info
until RTC is powered on as this is just a register information.

The passive scan channel dwell time currently used is 30-60TU. A typical
beacon interval for AP's is 100TU. This leads to a ~30% worst-case probability
of finding an AP via passive scanning.
For 5GHz bands for DFS frequencies passive scanning is the only scanning
option. Hence for these, the probability of finding an AP is very low.
To fix this, increase the passive channel scan dwell times (also the early
leave value, as 5GHz channels are still typically very silent.) Use a value
of 100TU, because that covers most typical AP configurations.
Based on testing the probability of finding an AP (100TU beacon interval) on
a single scan round are as follows (based on 100 iterations):
dwell min/max (TU) | probability
---------------------+------------
30/60 | 35%
60/60 | 56%
80/80 | 77%
100/100 | 100%
Total scan times now and after the change:
Region | Before (s) | After (s)
-------+------------+----------
00 | 0.77 | 1.48
FI | 0.95 | 2.01
US | 0.91 | 1.76
