There is no benefit in retaining the legacy rate control module
in the driver codebase.
It is known to be buggy and has less than optimal performance
in real-world environments compared with minstrel. The only
reason that it was kept when we made the switch to minstrel
as default was that it showed higher throughput numbers in a
clean/ideal environment.
This is no longer the case and minstrel can push ath9k to
the same throughput levels. In TCP, with 3-stream cards, more than
295 Mbps can be obtained in open air, with 2-stream cards,
210 Mbps is easily reached. To test performance issues,
instead of using a broken rate control module, it is better
to use the fixed-rate interface provided by mac80211 anyway.
The ath9k RC has not received any bug fixes in years and is
just bit-rotting away - this patch removes it.

Even though we make sure PowerSave is not enabled by default

PS could be enabled by userspace based on various factors

and has been untested for years, remove support for it, but
allow a user to explicitly enable it using a module parameter.

The Buffalo device WZR-HP-G450H uses the index 3 for TX gain,
which is set to the high_power table currently. Later variants
of the router use the same index, but instead refer to the
low_ob_db gain table. This is not handled in the driver since
there is no way to distinguish board revisions and the high_power
table is used (incorrectly) for the newer variants.
By default, devices based on AR9300 using the TX gain index 3 have
to use the high_power table. To make sure that WZR-HP-G450H is not
broken when the high_power table is updated, use a separate array
based on information obtained from the platform data.
The current situation where only the original variant of WZR-HP-G450H
works properly stays unchanged.

Currently, the PLL is turned off for AR9485 when
switching to a low power state, but AR9485 has an issue
where the card will become unresponsive if left idle
for a long time without any traffic. To fix this,
force the PLL to always be on using a different initval
array, ar9485_1_1_pll_on_cdr_on_clkreq_disable_L1.
This is done for most of the AR9485 based cards
like HB125, WB225 etc. but certain models require the
feature to be turned off. Identify such cards and use
default values for them.

TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF
exposure limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a
measure of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density
for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
governmental SAR regulations.
In the examples below, for more bit rate options see the iw TX bitrate
setting documentation:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw#Modifying_transmit_bitrates
Example usage:
iw phy phy0 interface add moni0 type monitor
