Christian Lamparter 879999cec9 ar9170usb: fix panic triggered by undersized rxstream buffer
While ar9170's USB transport packet size is currently set to 8KiB,
the PHY is capable of receiving AMPDUs with up to 64KiB.
Such a large frame will be split over several rx URBs and
exceed the previously allocated space for rx stream reconstruction.

This patch increases the buffer size to 64KiB which is
in fact the phy & rx stream designed size limit.

Christian Lamparter 07bc54575b ar9170: small misc changes
This patch aggregates a bunch of small random changes
that won't fit really anywhere else properly.

1. move tid-locating macro into a separate function.

2. remove redundant NULL check.

3. add modulation mask definition

Christian Lamparter 68676df00d ar9170: don't filter BlockACK frames
The current A-MPDU tx_status report mechanism is too inaccurate.
With this patch BlockACK frames show now up to the driver and
can be processed.

Christian Lamparter 9b9c5aaeed ar9170: xmit code revamp
This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code.

In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs.
However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for
pending data frames.

This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g.
We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different
in the mean time. But - as you guessed it -  this simple approach
stands in way for a decent aggregation implementation.

Christian Lamparter 083c4687bc ar9170: handle otus' A-MPDU density definitions
Otus uses slightly different set of "Minimum MPDU Start Spacing" values
than the 802.11n D2.0 specifies. (the whole table is shifted by one and
therefore the 16us spacing is not officially available!)

And while we're at it, we also initialize our MAC's density register.
So, this annoying _feature_ will not break TX A-MPDU later.

Christian Lamparter cca84799df ar9170: rework rxstream code
With this patch ar9170 is capable of receiving aggregated 802.11n frames
and sniffing on most networks without having a "debug message overhead".
