Felix Fietkau 73dc3eb8b9 ath9k: fix ANI operation in AP mode
ath9k_ani_reset (which is called at reset time) uses a state variable
ani->update_ani to prevent the ANI noise immunity state on the operating
channel from being overwritten by background scans. Unfortunately this
is also being set for AP mode, since it's mixed with code that is only
supposed to change the default settings after a reset.

In AP mode this has the side effect of having ANI run, but being unable to
change its runtime noise immunity level, making it effectively useless.

Fix this by getting rid of ani->update_ani and passing a parameter to
ath9k_hw_set_ofdm_nil and ath9k_hw_set_cck_nil instead.

Felix Fietkau 0b81cc3922 ath9k_hw: fix OFDM weak signal detection handling
Commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
was unifying some code related to overriding OFDM weak signal detection,
but seems to have gotten some of the original intent wrong, probably
because of a misnamed variable.

The beacon RSSI is only valid in station mode, and the main reason to check
it in ath9k_hw_set_ofdm_nil is to make sure that OFDM weak signal detection
stays enabled if the RSSI is low, even when the OFDM noise immunity entry
is supposed to disable it.

The above commit removed the mode checks and changed the code so that
OFDM weak signal detection would only be changed if the rssi is high, which
is wrong for everything but client mode.

This patch restores the old behavior in a simplified form.

Rajkumar Manoharan 54da20d83f ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters
This patch improves ANI operations by switching among the immunity
levels based on PHY errors and beacon rssi which will adjust receiver
desensitizing parameters. The changes are

* Configure the Weak Signal Detection based on current immunity value.
* At highest OFDM immunity level poor performance was observed with
  strong interference. By tuning the FIR step and spur immunity levels
  and not changing any weak signal detection thresholds at any level
  helped to improve the performance.
* ANI took long time to recover back to lower immunity levels on heavy
  data load. As the listen time got reset to zero before reaching to
  the 5x of aniperiod, the immunity level is not lowering back even
  without any interference. This patch fix that.

PHY errors relevant for ANI are always tracked by hardware counters, the

Enabling PHY errors in the rx filter often creates lots of useless DMA traffic

calculated clock rate

Replace (sizeof(ofdm_level_table)/sizeof(ofdm_level_table[0]) with
ARRAY_SIZE(ofdm_level_table), and (sizeof(cck_level_table)/
sizeof(cck_level_table[0]) with ARRAY_SIZE(cck_level_table) in

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.

Luis R. Rodriguez 37e5bf6535 ath9k_hw: fix clock rate calculations for ANI
The clock rate was assumed to be static but it actually
changes depending on the mode of operation, correct this
to help improve the calcuation of the listenTime for ANI.
This change will help adjust ANI more accurately on different
PHY thresholds.

Sujith 21d5130b8c ath9k_htc: Handle host RX disable
The MIB counters used by ANI have to be disabled
on the host because the FW doesn't do it on the target side.
Also, flush the receive buffers before initializing
RX on the target.
