The current code unconditionally reads the target
power values for all modes from the EEPROM. However
In 'ar9003_hw_set_power_per_rate_table' the regulatory
caps are applied only on a mode specific subset of the
power values.
The reported TX power level is calculated from the
maximum of the power values. Because some of these
values are uncapped in certain cases, the reported
TX power will be wrong.
On the older chipset, we don't have such problems
because only the mode specific subset of the power
levels are retrieved from the EEPROM on those. Do
the same for the AR9003 chips to fix the issue.

iwlwifi: improve TX cache footprint
Having cmd[], meta[] and skbs[] as separate arrays

To improve this, create an array with these three

we have the data we need together located together
improving cache footprint.
The downside is that we need to allocate a lot of

2) network_tsf - firmware's TSF value at the time the beacon or probe
response was received.
Both are needed while associating by firmware.
The patch takes care of following things.
1) We should pass "timestamp" to cfg80211_inform_bss(), but currently
"network_tsf" is being provided. This error is corrected here.
2) Rename "network_tsf" to "fw_tsf"
3) Make use of u64 variable instead of an array of u8/u32 to save
parsed "timestamp" information.
4) Use timestamp provided to stack in scan results using

and retrieve it while associating.

Since rt2800 hardware is not able to correctly report the tx status of

As a result, most wifi clients (aside from Intel STAs on Windows)
instead will timeout now the reorder buffer and request the lost frame
again.
