Calling ath_bus_cleanup() after ieee80211_free_hw() resulted in access
to common->bus_ops, which is already freed as part of the device data.
Remove the cleanup field in struct ath_bus_ops, as it was never used
properly. Remove ath_bus_cleanup(). Merge cleanup functions in place
of the ath_bus_cleanup() calls. Take care not to use any device data
after ieee80211_free_hw().

debugfs uses the hardware for several debugfs files as such the
hardware must be initialized and available prior to its usage. The
same applies to when we free the hw structs -- free debufs file
entries prior to free'ing the hardware.

hw code should never use private driver data, but
sometimes we need a backpointer so just stuff it on

ath9k uses this for now, ath9k_htc is expected to re-use this
as well. We lave ath5k as is, but it certainly can also be
converted later.
The ath9k module parameter and debugfs entry is kept.

We can propagate better errors upon failed hw initialization,
and set up the ath_common structure for attach purposes. This
will become important once we start using the ath_common
for read/write ops.

In an effort to make hw code driver core agnostic read
and write operations are defined on the ath_common structure.
This patch adds that and makes ath9k use it. This allows
drivers like ath9k_htc to define its own read/write ops and
still rely on the same hw code. This also paves the way for
sharing code between ath9k/ath5k/ath9k_htc.

These are common amongst ath9k and ath5k, so put them into the

Historically some macro helpers have been users for this,
AR5K_LOW_ID() and AR5K_HIGH_ID(), use upstream unaligned
helpers instead. This applid to ath5k and ar9170. ath9k
already uses this.
Worth noting is ath5k uses an ah_sta_id but that is already
the MAC address combined with the associaiton ID, ah_sta_id
is really ETH_ALEN in size.

Turns out ath5k and ath9k can share the same helper to
allocates RX skbs. We allocate skbs aligned to the cache line
size. This requirement seems to have come from AR5210; when
this was not done it seems sometimes we'd get bogus data. I'm
also told it may have been a performance enhancement
consideration. In the end I can't be sure we can remove this
on new hardware so just keep this and start sharing it through
ath.ko.
Make ath9k start using this, ath5k is next.
