If the symbol offset is 46, it will be counted in both
the third and fourth bytes of the mask, and in this
case the shift will be negative which can pollute
high order bits in the mask. This may negatively impact

Atheros PCIe wireless cards handled by ath5k do require L0s disabled.
For distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM (this will be enabled
by default in the future in 2.6.36) this will also mean both L1 and L0s
will be disabled when a pre 1.1 PCIe device is detected. We do know L1
works correctly even for all ath5k pre 1.1 PCIe devices though but cannot
currently undue the effect of a blacklist, for details you can read
pcie_aspm_sanity_check() and see how it adjusts the device link
capability.
It may be possible in the future to implement some PCI API to allow
drivers to override blacklists for pre 1.1 PCIe but for now it is
best to accept that both L0s and L1 will be disabled completely for
distributions shipping with CONFIG_PCIEASPM rather than having this
issue present. Motivation for adding this new API will be to help
with power consumption for some of these devices.
Example of issues you'd see:
- On the Acer Aspire One (AOA150, Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001
Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)) doesn't work well
with ASPM enabled, the card will eventually stall on heavy traffic
with often 'unsupported jumbo' warnings appearing. Disabling
ASPM L0s in ath5k fixes these problems.
- On the same card you would see a storm of RXORN interrupts
even though medium is idle.

There were a few places where the sc->rxlink pointer was set to NULL "just in
case". This helps nothing - quite to the contrary it is problematic since it
can create self-linked rx descriptors in the middle of the list of receive
buffers.
Here is an example how this could happen (thanks Bob!):
cpu 0: cpu 1:
ath5k_rx_stop
ath5k_tasklet_rx
sc->rxlink = NULL; /* just in case */
// following doesn't link used
// buffer to prev.
ath5k_rxbuf_setup()
In the case of ath5k_rx_stop() and ath5k_stop_locked() buffers/descriptors are
not changed so rxlink should not be changed as well.
In ath5k_intr() we seem to try to work around a hardware bug, as the comment
(which is copied 1:1 from the HAL) suggests. I don't see how this could help.
Also the HAL does not set rxlink in this case (So where does this code come
from? It has been there since the first import of ath5k). Changed to just
increment a statistics counter.
After this patch rxlink is only set to NULL before we initialize rx descriptors
and updated when the descriptors are linked together.

Based on a patch from Bruno Randolf, attempting useful
work while we are resetting the chip just leads to interface
lockups and bad descriptor data, and possibly DMAing to
freed buffers. Let's suspend all tasklets while
reprogramming the registers in the card to avoid such
problems.
In the future we can convert the tasklets to threaded
interrupt handlers to simplify things.

We currently trigger a reset via a tasklet when certain error
conditions are detected so that the card will (eventually)
restart. Unfortunately this makes locking complicated since
reset can also be called in process context (e.g. for channel
change). Currently nothing protects against concurrent resets,
which can be the source of corruption bugs.
Reset takes too long to spinlock the whole thing, so this
patch moves deferred resets into the mac80211 workqueue to
enable use of sc->lock mutex.

In commit 39d5b2c83c "ath5k: update
AR5K_PHY_RESTART_DIV_GC values to match masks" i introduced a regression on PHY
chips older than AR5K_SREV_PHY_5413, which caused signal values to be about
10dB less that before. This patch reverts the AR5K_PHY_RESTART_DIV_GC values to
the same values which were effectively used before (without the bitmask
mistake). This brings signal levels back to normal on these PHY chips.
