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.

during suspend/S3 state drv_flush is called from mac80211 irrespective of
interface count. In ath9k we queue a work in ath9k_flush which we expect
to be cancelled in the drv_stop call back. during suspend process mac80211
calls drv_stop only when the interface count(local->count) is non-zero.
unfortunately when the network manager is enabled, drv_flush is called
while drv_stop is not called as local->count reaches '0'.
So fix this by simply checking for the device presence in the
drv_flush call back in the driver before queueing work or anything else.

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
needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.

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.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.
