Rajkumar Manoharan 423e38e807 ath9k: Rename AR9480 into AR9462
Renamed to be in sync with Marketing term and to avoid
confusion with other chip names.

Rajkumar Manoharan 8ad74c4d8c ath9k_hw: Cleanup Tx calibrations for AR9003 chips
Currently Tx IQ calibration is enabled by default for all AR9003
chips. But for AR9480, the calibration status should be read from
chip after processing ini. And also the carrier leak calibration
status is checked during init cal. As the init_cal is being called
for fast channel change too, the tx_cl status only be read after
full reset. Hence moving that into process ini function.

Rajkumar Manoharan 5f0c04ea1e ath9k_hw: Improve fast channel change for AR9003 chips
In order to reduce the overall scan time, fast channel change
should be implemented properly. This patch adds fast channel
change support across band switch or channel mode switch
instead of doing full chip reset. During the fastcc, tx iqcal
measurements are preserved and will be reloaded after successful
the channel change.

This patch also addressed fast channel issue where the STA can not
see APs in higher than operating channel on 5GHz band after
the association.

Felix Fietkau ca2c68cc7b ath9k_hw: clean up tx power handling
The code for handling various restrictions concerning regulatory limits,
antenna gain, etc. is very convoluted and duplicated across various
EEPROM parsing implementations, making it hard to review.

This patch partially cleans up the mess by unifying regulatory limit
handling in one function and simplifying handling of antenna gain.
It also removes unused transmit power scaling arrays from the EEPROM code,
which belonged to an unimplemented API that isn't supposed to be in
the driver anyway.

Felix Fietkau bf3f204b92 ath9k_hw: fix setting the hardware diversity flag
ath9k_hw_set_diversity is only called from init.c where it cannot affect
the hardware setting because it's cleared on the next reset.
Instead of using a PHY op for something that's supposed to be initialized
statically, set the register value directly in the INI override function.

Rajkumar Manoharan 8ad38d22dc ath9k_hw: Disable Walsh spatial spreading for 2 chains
The Walsh bit is disabled for regulatory consideration.

FCC limit for walsh enable is lower than that for walsh disable. So
disabling walsh bit will not limit tx power/affect tx power even in
cases where we are not FCC limited (most client cards). If the tx
power is not FCC limited, then enabling/disabling walsh bit will
not affect Avg. EVM/overall performance in any visible manner.

When rfkill is enabled, ath9k_hw unnecessarily configured the baseband to
turn off based on GPIO input, however that code was hardcoded to GPIO 0
instead of ah->rfkill_gpio.
Since ath9k uses software rfkill anyway, this code is completely unnecessary
and should be removed in case anything else ever uses GPIO 0.

This workaround will reduce power consumption by using 2 Tx chains for

(regardless of rate) are sent on 2 chains when this feature is

The cycle counters are used by ANI to determine the amount of time that the
radio spent not receiving or transmitting. They're also used for debugging
purposes if the baseband watchdog on AR9003 detects a lockup.
In the future, we want to use these counters to determine the medium utilization
and export this information via survey. For that, we need to make sure that
the counter is only accessed from one place, which also ensures that
wraparounds won't occur at inconvenient points in time.

Felix Fietkau 866b7780fc ath9k_hw: fix invalid extension channel noisefloor readings in HT20
When the hardware is configured in HT20 mode, noise floor readings for
the extension channel often return invalid values, which keep the
values in the NF history buffer at the hardware-specific maximum limit.
Fix this by discarding the extension channel values when in HT20 mode.

Felix Fietkau bbacee13f4 ath9k: merge noisefloor load implementations
AR5008+ and AR9003 currently use two separate implementations of the
ath9k_hw_loadnf function. There are three main differences:

 - PHY registers for AR9003 are different
 - AR9003 always uses 3 chains, earlier versions are more selective
 - The AR9003 variant contains a fix for NF load timeouts

This patch merges the two implementations into one, storing the
register array in the ath_hw struct. The fix for NF load timeouts is
not just relevant for AR9003, but also important for earlier hardware,
so it's better to just keep one common implementation.

Felix Fietkau f2552e2837 ath9k_hw: sanitize noise floor values properly on all chips
This refactors the noise floor range checks to make them generic,
and adds proper ranges for each supported chip type.

Luis R. Rodriguez 644c78c95a ath9k_hw: reduce delay on programming INI on AR9003
All AR9003 devices are PCI-E only, the extra delay here
is not required and only reduces the delay for loading
the initial register values by at least 14ms.

Luis R. Rodriguez e36b27aff1 ath9k: add new ANI implementation for AR9003
This adds support for ANI for AR9003. The implementation for
ANI for AR9003 is slightly different than the one used for
the older chipset families. It can technically be used for
the older families as well but this is not yet fully tested
so we only enable the new ANI for the AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002
families with a module parameter, force_new_ani.

The old ANI implementation is left intact.

Details of the new ANI implemention:

  * ANI adjustment logic is now table driven so that each ANI level
    setting is parameterized. This makes adjustments much more
    deterministic than the old procedure based logic and allows
    adjustments to be made incrementally to several parameters per
    level.

  * ANI register settings are now relative to INI values; so ANI
    param zero level == INI value. Appropriate floor and ceiling
    values are obeyed when adjustments are combined with INI values.

  * ANI processing is done once per second rather that every 100ms.
    The poll interval is now a set upon hardware initialization and
    can be picked up by the core driver.

  * OFDM error and CCK error processing are made in a round robin
    fashion rather than allowing all OFDM adjustments to be made
    before CCK adjustments.

  * ANI adjusts MRC CCK off in the presence of high CCK errors

  * When adjusting spur immunity (SI) and OFDM weak signal detection,
    ANI now sets register values for the extension channel too

  * When adjusting FIR step (ST), ANI now sets register for FIR step
    low too

  * FIR step adjustments now allow for an extra level of immunity for
    extremely noisy environments

  * The old Noise immunity setting (NI), which changes coarse low, size
    desired, etc have been removed. Changing these settings could affect
    up RIFS RX as well.

  * CCK weak signal adjustment is no longer used

  * ANI no longer enables phy error interrupts; in all cases phy hw
    counting registers are used instead

  * The phy error count (overflow) interrupts are also no longer used
    for ANI adjustments. All ANI adjustments are made via the polling
    routine and no adjustments are possible in the ISR context anymore

  * A history settings buffer is now correctly used for each channel;
    channel settings are initialized with the defaults but later
    changes are restored when returning back to that channel

  * When scanning, ANI is disabled settings are returned to (INI) defaults.

  * OFDM phy error thresholds are now 400 & 1000 (errors/second units) for
    low/high water marks, providing increased stability/hysteresis when
    changing levels.

  * Similarly CCK phy error thresholds are now 300 & 600 (errors/second)
