The private memory area in vif provided by
mac80211 isn't guaranteed to be zeroed.
This patch should fix issues when switching
between STA and AP interface types.
The tim_bitmap could become polluted by STA bssid
field (since it's a union), wep_keys array
could also become polluted with invalid pointers
and probably much more.

Apparently the available firmware has a limit of
handling 7 APs, 3 GOs or 8 STAs. This is based on
empirical tests and it is still possible some
combinations may crash the firmware.

Normally user specifies broadcast ssid for
scanning. If the user wants to do a passive scan
it does not pass any ssids.
The patch makes sure we ath10k tells firmware to
not send anything at all in case it decides no
ssids equals broadcast ssid.

It is more efficient to move just the 802.11
header instead of the whole payload in most cases.
This has no measurable effect on modern hardware.
It should improve performance by a few percent on
hardware such as an Access Point that have a slow
CPU compared to a typical desktop CPU.

Restart the hardware if FW crashes.
If FW crashes during recovery we leave the
hardware in a "wedged" state to avoid recursive
recoveries.
When in "wedged" state userspace may bring
interfaces down (to issue stop()) and then bring
one interface (to issue start()) to reload
hardware manually.

This fixes suspend-to-disk. The hardware is now
re-initialized upon freeze/thaw properly.
This also makes suspend/resume re-initialize the
hardware as WoWLAN support is not done yet.
With some little work it should be possible to
support hw reconfiguration for hw/fw recovery.
HW must be initialized once before registering to
mac80211 because FW determinates what hw
capabilities can be advertised.

Split up fw-related and hw-related suspension code.
Although we don't advertise WoW support to
mac80211 yet it's useful to keep the code in
suspend/resume hooks.
At this point there's no need to keep pci pm ops.
In case of WoW mac80211 calls ath10k_suspend()
which should take care of entering low-power mode.
In case WoW is not available mac80211 will go
through regular interface teradown and use start/stop.

Apparently HW doesn't require us to generate MMIC
for TKIP suite.
Each frame was 8 bytes longer than it should be
and some APs would drop frames that exceed 1520
bytes of 802.11 payload. This could be observed
during throughput tests or fragmented IP traffic.

Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.
The wiki page for the driver is:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k
The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
