The simulataneous transmission of both WLAN and BT might cause
increase in power levels. To avoid regulatory violation, WLAN tx
power will be adjusted according to BT power index based on avaliability
of BT scheduling messages. WLAN tx power reduction might affect its
performance. So WLAN tx power is only be lowered when the signal strength
is good enough. Otherwise concurrent tx will be disabled and WLAN uses
it default power levels. Also concurrent tx is disabled whenever WLAN is
moving to off-channel which might be used by BT.

As of now the ANI cycle is executed only when the chip is awake.
On idle state case, the station wakes up from network sleep for
beacon reception. Since most of the time, ANI cycle is not syncing
with beacon wakeup, ANI cycle is ignored. Approx 5 mins once, the
calibration is performed. This could affect the connection stability
when the station is idle for long. Even though the OFDM and CCK phy
error rates are too high, ANI is unable to tune its immunity level
as quick enough due to rare execution.
Here the experiment shows that OFDM and CCK levels are at default
even on higher phy error rate.
listenTime=44 OFDM:3 errs=121977/s CCK:2 errs=440818/s ofdm_turn=1
This change ensures that ANI calibration will be exectued atleast
once for every 10 seconds. The below result shows improvements and
immunity levels are adopted quick enough.

For uAPSD implementation, it is necessary to know on
which ACs frames are buffered. mac80211 obviously
knows about the frames it has buffered itself, but
with aggregation many drivers buffer frames. Thus,
mac80211 needs to be informed about this.
For now, since we don't have APSD in any form, this
will unconditionally set the TIM bit for the station
but later with uAPSD only some ACs might cause the
TIM bit to be set.
ath9k is the only driver using this API and I only
modify it in the most basic way, it won't be able
to implement uAPSD with this yet. But it can't do
that anyway since there's no way to selectively
release frames to the peer yet.
Since drivers will buffer frames per TID, let them
inform mac80211 on a per TID basis, mac80211 will
then sort out the AC mapping itself.

EDMA based chips (AR9380+) have 8 Tx FIFO slots, which are used to fix the
tx queue start/stop race conditions which have to be worked around for
earlier chips by keeping the last descriptor in the queue. The current code
stores all frames that do not fit onto the 8 FIFO slots in a separate
list. Whenever a FIFO slot is freed up, the next frame (or A-MPDU) from the
pending queue gets moved to that slot.
This process is not only inefficient, but also unnecessary. The code can
be improved visibly by keeping the pending queue fully linked, and moving
the contents of the entire queue to a FIFO slot as it becomes available.
This patch makes the necessary changes for that and also merges some code
that was duplicated for EDMA vs non-EDMA. It changes txq->axq_link to point
to the last descriptor instead of the link pointer, so that
ath9k_hw_set_desc_link can be used, which works on all chips.
With this patch, a small performance increase for non-aggregated traffic
was observed on AR9380 based embedded hardware.

This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being
sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations.
This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting
of A-MDPU subframes.
Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every
single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT
for unaggregated frames.
A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they
enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure
that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state.
Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter

Currently ath9k only available in menuconfig if PCI bus
support is enabled. However the driver is required for
the built-in wireless MACs of the Atheros AR9130/AR9132
SoCs. These SoCs have no PCI controller, the wireless
MAC is connected to the AHB bus on them.
Introduce separated config options for the supported
buses, in order to allow building of ath9h without PCI
bus support.
As a bonus, this patch removes the cross-reference of
the ATHEROS_AR71XX option which is not present in the
kernel.

Current ath9k code does not handle beacon timers on opmode
specific. One such example is that a STA beacon config overwrites
already configured AP vif's beacon timers during scan.
On multi station vif case, configure beacon timers beased
on primary vif selected. This also helps while moving back
to single STA vif from multi STA vifs, where the power save
is enabled and hw has to be reconfigured with proper
beacon and bssid/aid. Otherwise connection poll will be triggered
so frequently due to beacon loss.

Stuck beacon detection is supposed to trigger when 9 consecutive beacons
could not be sent by the hardware. When the driver runs only one active
AP mode interface, it still configures the hardware beacon timer for
4 (ATH_BCBUF) beacon slots slots, which causes stuck beacon detection
to be reset if ath9k_hw_stoptxdma clears the stuck frames between
SWBA intervals.
Fix this by not resetting the missed beacon count for empty slots and
multiplying the threshold not by the maximum number of beacon slots
but by the configured number of beacon interfaces.

AP mode beacon timers in ath9k are configured in milliseconds, which breaks
when increasing ATH_BCBUF to 8 instead of 4 (due to rounding errors).
Since the hardware timers are actually configured in microseconds, it's
better to let the driver use that unit directly.
To be able to do that, the beacon interval parameter abuse for passing
certain flags needs to be removed. This is easy to do, because those flags
are completely unnecessary anyway. ATH9K_BEACON_ENA is ignored,
ATH9K_BEACON_RESET_TSF can be replaced with calling ath9k_hw_reset_tsf
from the driver directly.

Since even with the latest changes the false positive issue of the baseband

If the baseband hang occurs, the rx_clear signal will be stuck to high, so
we can use the cycle counters to confirm it.
With this patch, a hardware reset is only triggered if the baseband hang
check returned true three times in a row, with a beacon interval between

It looks like some hardware registers are left into undefined state
after suspend/resume. At minimum, this can cause odd issues related to
key cache and hardware trying to encrypt/decrypt frames unexpectedly.
This seems to happen even when there is no keys configured, i.e., hardware
can end up touching TX frames just based of invalid key cache context
even if the driver is not asking a specific entry to be used. In
addition, RX can likely be affected. This patch fixes this issue.

To improve aggregation length, there should not be more than two fully formed
A-MPDU frames in the hardware queue. To ensure this, the code checks the tx
queue length before forming new A-MPDUs. This can reduce the throughput (or
maybe even starve out A-MPDU traffic) when too many non-aggregated frames are
in the queue.
Fix this by keeping track of pending A-MPDU frames (even when they're sent out
as single frames), but exclude rate control probing frames to improve
performance.

Since the pointers after the rates in the tx info cannot be used anymore
after frames have been queued, this area can be used to store information
that was previously stored in the ath_buf. With these changes, we can delay
the ath_buf assignment in the aggregation code until aggregates are formed.
That will not only make it possible to simplify DMA descriptor setup to
do less rewriting of uncached memory, but will also make it easier to
move aggregation out of the core of the ath9k tx path.

The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.
The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).
This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.
To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).
It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).
To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.
