As of now the ANI cycle is executed only when the chip is awake.
On idle state case, the station wakes up from network sleep for
beacon reception. Since most of the time, ANI cycle is not syncing
with beacon wakeup, ANI cycle is ignored. Approx 5 mins once, the
calibration is performed. This could affect the connection stability
when the station is idle for long. Even though the OFDM and CCK phy
error rates are too high, ANI is unable to tune its immunity level
as quick enough due to rare execution.
Here the experiment shows that OFDM and CCK levels are at default
even on higher phy error rate.
listenTime=44 OFDM:3 errs=121977/s CCK:2 errs=440818/s ofdm_turn=1
This change ensures that ANI calibration will be exectued atleast
once for every 10 seconds. The below result shows improvements and
immunity levels are adopted quick enough.
listenTime=557 OFDM:4 errs=752/s CCK:4 errs=125/s ofdm_turn=0

Some checks for PA linearization support checked ATH9K_HW_CAP_PAPRD and some
used the EEPROM ops, leading to issues in tx power handling, since those
two can be out of sync.
Disable the feature by default, since it has been reported that it can
cause damage to the rx path under some circumstances. It can now be enabled
for testing via debugfs.

Before PAPRD training can run, the card needs to have sent a packet for
thermal calibration. Sending a dummy packet with the PAPRD training flag
set causes a crash under some circumstance.
Fix the code by replacing the dummy tx with a delay that waits for a
real packet tx to have occurred.

Using work_pending() to defer certain operations when
a HW-reset work has been queued is racy since the check
would return false when the work item is actually in
execution. Use SC_OP_HW_RESET instead to fix this race.
Also, unify the reset debug statistics maintenance.

Currently, there are problems with how ANI is handled in
multi-VIF scenarios. This patch addresses them by unifying

The baseband and cycle counters are being sampled during ani
processing for debugging purpose. Whenever the ani is postponded
due to sleep state, taking samples on that time is of no use and
also unneccesarily waking up the chip might increase the power
consumption on idle associated state. Hence moving debug function
within powersave block.

ensure that the PLL-WAR for AR9485/AR9340 is executed only if the STA is
associated (or) IBSS/AP mode had started beaconing. Ideally this WAR
is needed to recover from some rare beacon stuck during stress testing.
Before the STA is associated/IBSS had started beaconing, PLL4(0x1618c)
always seem to have zero even though we had configured PLL3(0x16188) to
query about PLL's locking status. When we keep on polling infinitely PLL4's
8th bit(ie check for PLL locking measurements is done), machine hangs
due to softlockup.

* Currently, there is no synchronization between the reset
work and the tx-poll work. Fix this and make sure that we
bail out properly if a reset work is in progress.
* Cleanup the PLL WAR and enable it for AR9340 too and
use a helper for restarting work/timers after a reset.
