Noise floor calibration occasionally fails on Atheros hardware.
This is not fatal and can happen if there's simply too much
noise on the air. Ignoring the calibration error is the right
thing to do here, because when the error is ignored, the hardware
will still work, whereas if the error causes the driver to bail out
of a bigger configuration function and does not configure the tx
queues or the IMR (as is the case in reset.c), the hw no longer
works properly until the next reset.

*Properly get/set all available ISR/IMR values and review common/uncommon bits
*Better handling of per-txq interrupts (we can now resolve what q is generating
each interrupt -this will help in debuging wme later)
*Some minor updates from legacy-hal
*Properly handle RXNOFRM and TXNOFRM interrupt masking (even when we don't set
them on IMR they keep showing up, so we disable them by zeroing AR5K_RXNOFRM
and AR5K_TXNOFRM registers). This doesn't exist on legacy-hal but i've tested
it on various cards and it works fine.

Take care to handle register 0xa228 exactly as in the HAL released by
Atheros. This change is required to make ath5k work again on my system
since commit 2203d6be (ath5k: Misc hw_reset updates), thus fixing a
regression in 2.6.27 and therefore hopefully eligible for inclusion into
a stable release.
v2: Only overwrite initial register values on later revisions of AR5212
chips.
v3: Use standard macros to manipulate the register.

* Update registers
* Update SREV values and add some PHY srevs
* Prepare ath5k.h for newer radios etc
Thanks to Atheros 's HAL source we now know for sure how many parts we have
and what their SREV values are. We also have some updates on registers. Prepare
ath5k for some major updates ;-)
My previous mail had 2 more patches following (git log misusage), sorry for double
posting ;-(

* Fix bad udelay calls (using > 2000us) in AR5210 code and clean up
some bits on nic_reset (AR5210 support is still in bad shape)

There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its
own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and
simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need
to translate them any more now.

* No code changes...
* Split hw.c to multiple files for better maintenance and add some documentation on each file
code is going to grow soon (eeprom.c for example is going to get much stuff currently developed
on ath_info) so it's better this way.
* Rename following functions to maintain naming scheme:
ah_setup_xtx_desc -> ah_setup_mrr_tx_desc
(Because xtx doesn't say much, it's actually
a multi-rate-retry tx descriptor)
ath5k_hw_put_tx/rx_buf - > ath5k_hw_set_tx/rxdp
ath5k_hw_get_tx/rx_buf -> ath5k_hw_get_tx/rxdp
(We don't put any "buf" we set descriptor pointers on hw)
ath5k_hw_tx_start -> ath5k_hw_start_tx_dma
ath5k_hw_start_rx -> ath5k_hw_start_rx_dma
ath5k_hw_stop_pcu_recv -> ath5k_hw_stop_rx_pcu
(It's easier this way to identify them, we also
have ath5k_hw_start_rx_pcu which completes the
set)
ath5k_hw_set_intr -> ath5k_hw_set_imr
(As in get_isr we set imr here, not "intr")
* Move ath5k_hw_setup_rx_desc on ah->ah_setup_rx_desc so we can
include support for different rx descriptors in the future
* Further cleanups so that checkpatch doesn't complain
(only some > 80 col warnings for eeprom.h and reg.h as usual
due to comments)
Tested on 5211 and 5213 cards and works ok.
