ath9k: Do not start BA when scanning
mac80211 currently has a race which can be hit
with this sequence:
* Start a scan operation.
* TX BA is initiated by ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session().
* Driver sets up internal state and calls
ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
* mac80211 adds a packet to sdata->skb_queue with
type IEEE80211_SDATA_QUEUE_AGG_START.
* ieee80211_iface_work() doesn't process the
packet because scan is in progress.
* ADDBA response timer expires and the sta/tid is
torn down.
* Driver receives BA stop notification and calls
ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
* This is also added to the queue by mac80211.
* Now, scan finishes.
At this point, the queued up packets might be processed
if some other operation schedules the sdata work. Since
the tids have been cleaned up already, warnings are hit.
If this doesn't happen, the packets are left in the queue
until the interface is torn down.
Since initiating a BA session when scan is in progress
leads to flaky connections, especially in MCC mode, we
can drop the TX BA request. This improves connectivity
with legacy clients in MCC mode.

Instead of waiting for these packets, simply drop them. This
significantly improves the responsiveness of the network.
Note that all the queues are flushed, but the VO one. This
is not typically used by the applications and it likely
contains management frames that are useful for connection
or roaming.
This bug is tracked here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56581
But it is duplicated in distributions' trackers.
A simple search in Ubuntu's database led to these bugs:
iwlwifi: mvm: Add tx power condition to bss_info_changed_ap_ibss
The tx power should be limited from many reasons.
currently, setting the tx power is available by the mvm only for
station interface. Adding the tx power condition to
bss_info_changed_ap_ibss make it available also for AP.
The LTR is the handshake between the device and the root
complex about the latency allowed when the bus exits power
save. This configuration was missing and this led to high
latency in the link power up. The end user could experience
high latency in the network because of this.

ath10k: re-disable interrupts after target init
If MSI isn't configured device ROM program expects
legacy interrupts to be enabled before it can
fully boot. Don't forget to disable legacy
interrupts after that.
While at it re-use the legacy irq enabling helper
instead of calling ath10k_pci_write32().

ath10k: simplify computation of mgmt rx band
Using global channel won't work with chanctx. Try
to determine the channel from the information
provided in the wmi event itself alone. This
should be sufficient.

ath10k: skip some commands on reassoc
It doesn't make much sense to reconfigure peer
completely upon reassociation. This will make it
easier to have a more uniform association code
across different modes.
