If 20MHz CAC completed successfully then
subsequent CAC with wider bandwidth (40Mhz, 80Mhz)
with identical control frequency did not start
monitor vdev making it impossible to detect any
radar pulses during intended CAC.
It also was incorrect to assume ath10k_config() will
be called after CAC is finished. Theoretically for
non-HT channels nothing changes between CAC and
start_ap() (albeit in practice this can be
different). The incorrect assumption led to CAC
not being stopped on non-HT chandefs leading to
all Rx being drooped making it impossible for
clients to associate.
While at it clean up the code a bit.

It was possible to create/delete/start/stop
monitor vdev from a few places that were not
exclusively protected against each other. This
resulted in monitor vdev being stopped/removed by
one call origin while another one was expecting it
to continue running.
For example if CAC was started and interface's
promiscuous mode was toggled monitor vdev was
removed from the driver meaning no radar would be
detected. In additional a warning would be printed
upon CAC completion complaining it tried to stop
non-running monitor vdev.

The patch prevents beacon misses in some case of
heavy load on a system.
If a beacon can't be transmitted directly from an
SWBA event it will be left in arvif->beacon and
transmission will be retried once TX credits

The peer PHY mode for 11ac operation needs to be determined
properly based on the channel bandwidth being used. Fix
this so that the proper mode is given to the firmware.
kvalo: earlier we used 11na-ht20 in STA mode for 11ac AP peer, this
patch changes that to 11ac-vht80. I didn't notice any change in
throughput in my tests, but nevertheless it's the right thing
to do.

In 3.0 the separate mgmt tx command has been

WEP encoding was not working properly for AP and IBSS mode.
TX frames were encrypted with default WEP tx key index set
always to zero, what sometimes was wrong when different
key index should be used. This patch allows to update
WEP key index also for AP and IBSS mode.
Problem detected during automated WEP tests.

If FW crashes during recovery we leave the

re-initialized upon freeze/thaw properly.
This also makes suspend/resume re-initialize the

HW must be initialized once before registering to

Although we don't advertise WoW support to
mac80211 yet it's useful to keep the code in
suspend/resume hooks.
At this point there's no need to keep pci pm ops.
In case of WoW mac80211 calls ath10k_suspend()
which should take care of entering low-power mode.
In case WoW is not available mac80211 will go

A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.
The wiki page for the driver is:
