This is an Adaptive Noise Imunity (ANI) implementation for ath5k. I have looked
at both ath9k and HAL sources (they are nearly the same), and even though i
have implemented some things differently, the basic algorithm is practically
the same, for now. I hope that this can serve as a clean start to improve the
algorithm later.
This also adds a possibility to manually control ANI settings, right now only
thru a debugfs file:
* set lowest sensitivity (=highest noise immunity):
echo sens-low > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* set highest sensitivity (=lowest noise immunity):
echo sens-high > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* automatically control immunity (default):
echo ani-on > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* to see the parameters in use and watch them change:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
Manually setting sensitivity will turn the automatic control off. You can also
control each of the five immunity parameters (noise immunity, spur immunity,
firstep, ofdm weak signal detection, cck weak signal detection) manually thru
the debugfs file.
This is tested on AR5414 and nearly doubles the thruput in a noisy 2GHz band.

ah->mask_reg was used to hold different data throughout the driver.
ath9k_hw_init_interrupt_masks() used it to save the value written to
AR_IMR. ath9k_hw_set_interrupts() used it to hold the interrupt mask as
defined in enum ath9k_int. Those masks differ in many bits.
Use ah->imask instead of ah->mask_reg in ath9k_hw_set_interrupts() and
ath9k_hw_updatetxtriglevel(). That's what the code was meant to do.
ah->imask is initialized in ath9k_start(), so we don't need to
initialize it from ah->mask_reg.
Once it's done, ah->mask_reg becomes write-only, so it's replaced with a
local variable in ath9k_hw_init_interrupt_masks().

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.

Noisefloor calibration involves querying hardware for samples
and storing this information on a history buffer in hardware for
actual noisefloor calibration processing in hardware. The history
buffer supports collecting information for all Atheros hardware,
one history buffer slot for each chain on each channel used for
MIMO operation. For current hardware this means one history
buffer slot for each chain on both the control (or primary) channel
and the extension (or secondary) channel. We know which noisefloor
registers to poke for collecting noisefloor data through the
chainmask.
For AR9285 and AR9271 devices, both 1x1, the chaimmask is defined as
0x9 = 0b0001001. The first four bits represent each chain out of
a maximum of 4 chains [0-3] on the primary channel. The last four
bits represent each chain on the extension channel. A chainmask
of 0x9 therefore indicates chain 1 is active on both the primary
and the extension channel.
AR9271 only requires collecting and storing noisefloor history buffer
data for the first chain on both the control and extension channel
(nfarray[0] and nfarray[3]) so fix the code and avoid which reads
and writes to the history buffer for the other chains.
Since the noisefloor varies depending on the number of chains your
device supports also initialize the noisefloor history buffer with
reasonable values seen on 1x1 devices such as AR9285.

The rate control algorithm, default is Minstrel for ath5k, determines
the number of retries to use for each rate. However, there exists in
ath5k_hw_setup_4word_tx_desc (which is called for AR5212 like devices)
a set number of retries defined by AR5K_TUNE_HWTXTRIES. The set
number of tries is added to the tx_tries0 variable setup by the rate
control algorithm. This changes the number of retries the rate
control algorithm considers necessary. By removing the
AR5K_TUNE_HWTXTRIES from the retry calculation the rate control
algorithm is given control over the number of retries.
