Sujith Manoharan e861ef523c ath9k: Modify IDs to identify CUS230
CUS198 and CUS230 are similar cards, both
are AR9485 + xLNA solutions. But, the subsystem IDs
differ - identify CUS230 explicitly to make things

Sujith Manoharan 9b60b64bfe ath9k: Add custom parameters for CUS198
CUS198 is a card based on AR9485. There are differences
between the base reference design HB125 and CUS198.
Identify such cards based on the PCI subsystem IDs and
set HW parameters appropriately.

Sujith Manoharan 5efac94999 ath9k: Use minstrel rate control by default
The ath9k rate control algorithm has various architectural
issues that make it a poor fit in scenarios like congested
environments etc.

An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191

Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can
be removed altogether later on.

Sujith Manoharan 531671cb17 ath9k: Disable PowerSave by default
Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.

Simon Wunderlich e93d083f42 ath9k: add spectral scan feature
Adds the spectral scan feature for ath9k. AR92xx and AR93xx chips
are supported for now. The spectral scan is triggered by configuring
a mode through a debugfs control file. Samples can be gathered via
another relay debugfs file.

Essentially, to try it out:

echo chanscan > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl
iw dev wlan0 scan
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan0 > samples
echo disable > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl

This feature is still experimental.

The special "chanscan" mode is used to perform spectral scan while
mac80211 is scanning for channels. To allow this,
sw_scan_start/complete() ops have been added.

The patch contains code snippets and information from Zefir Kurtisi and
information provided by Adrian Chadd and Felix Fietkau.

Sujith Manoharan d09f5f4cfb ath9k: Handle ASPM properly
ASPM has to be disabled when BTCOEX is in use, do this properly
by calling the bus-specific ASPM init routine after the
BTCOEX scheme has been determined.

Johannes Berg 81ddbb5c11 mac80211: don't always advertise remain-on-channel
Not all devices are really capable of implementing
remain-on-channel, even if it is implemented in SW,
as they can't necessarily deal with channel changes
while associated.

Remove the WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL and add
it only if either the driver has remain_on_channel
implemented in the driver/device.

Also add it to all drivers that advertise P2P right
now since those definitely have to have it working.

Rajkumar Manoharan 01e189182d ath9k: recover ar9380 chips from rare stuck state
In the experiment with Azimuth ADEPT-n testbed where the APs transmit
power was reduced to 25% and the signal strength was futher attenuated
by 20dB and induced a path loss of ~7dB, the station was reporting
beacon losses and the following issue were observed.

* rx clear is stuck at low for more than 300ms
* dcu chain and complete state is stuck at one of the hang signature

This patch triggers the hang detection logic that recovers the chip
from any of the above conditions. As the issue was originally reported
in ChromeOs with AR9382 chips, this detection logic is enabled only for
AR9380/2 chips.

Rajkumar Manoharan 195ca3b122 ath9k: reduce listen time period
When we have downlink traffic alone and the station is going thru
bgscan, the client is out of operating channel for around 1000ms which
is too long. The mac80211 decides when to switch back to oper channel
based on tx queue, bad latency and listen time. As the station does not
have tx traffic, the bgscan can easily affect downlink throughput. By
reducing the listen time, it helps the associated AP to retain the
downstream rate.

They're more expensive than some of the other debug options and only used
in very rare situations, so it sometimes makes sense to disable them while
leaving in debugfs support.
