ath9k: raise aggregation limit to 64k for HT IBSS
mac80211 adds stations in HT IBSS as soon as a frame comes by,
even if the HT capabilities are not known yet (they are often
received later, e.g. in beacons). So far, ampdu factor/density
are only calculated when the station is initially added.
This patch changes this to update ampdu factor/density settings
when starting a blockack session.
Using this patch, we had performance boosts from 60 to 150 MBit/s
between two 2x2 Atheros devices in 5 GHz HT IBSS mode.

wlcore: read FW logs from FW memory on watchdog recovery
FW uses a few memory blocks as a buffer to accumulate FW logs before
transmitting them to the host over SDIO. When FW WatchDog recovery
occurs, the last FW traces are still pending in the buffer. Driver is
to read these FW traces whether log mode is continuous or on demand.
FW memory blocks allocated for the log buffer are handled as a link list:
the first 4 bytes in each memory block contain FW address to the next block.
The end of list condition depends on FW log mode:
- on demand: the list is cyclic, the next address is equal to the first address
- continuous: the address is equal to 0x2000000
Log data resides inside FW memory block with offset depending on
logger mode:
- on demand: 4 bytes (address of the next memory block)
- continuous: 4 bytes and Rx Descriptor structure size

ath9k_hw: fix OFDM weak signal detection handling
Commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
was unifying some code related to overriding OFDM weak signal detection,
but seems to have gotten some of the original intent wrong, probably
because of a misnamed variable.
The beacon RSSI is only valid in station mode, and the main reason to check
it in ath9k_hw_set_ofdm_nil is to make sure that OFDM weak signal detection
stays enabled if the RSSI is low, even when the OFDM noise immunity entry
is supposed to disable it.
The above commit removed the mode checks and changed the code so that
OFDM weak signal detection would only be changed if the rssi is high, which
is wrong for everything but client mode.
This patch restores the old behavior in a simplified form.

ath9k_hw: remove aniState->noiseFloor
I don't know why somebody decided to keep a cached copy of beacon rssi in a
variable called 'noiseFloor', but the caching is unnecessary and the variable
name is confusing, so let's just get rid of it entirely.

mac80211: use the correct capability info in ieee80211_set_associated()
If an AP is beaconing with different capabilities than the one we get
in the associate response, we were still using the capabilities
received in the beacons. One example is when the AP is beaconing with
the short slot bit set to zero and then we try to connect to it with
long slot. In this case, we would keep using long slot until the next
beacon was received.
Fix this by using the correct capability value when calling
ieee80211_handle_bss_capability(). We were using cbss->capability,
but we should use the bss_conf->assoc_capability instead.

mac80211: initialize sta pointer to avoid false-positive warning
Some compilers (eg. gcc 4.4.1 for ARM) report a false positive warning
in mlme.c:
net/mac80211/mlme.c: In function 'ieee80211_prep_connection':
net/mac80211/mlme.c:3035: warning: 'sta' may be used uninitialized in this function
This is a false positive because the place where 'sta' is used is
inside an if with the same condition of where it is set:
[...]
if (!have_sta) {
sta = sta_info_alloc(sdata, cbss->bssid, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!sta)
return -ENOMEM;
}
[...]
if (!have_sta) {
[...]
sta->sta.supp_rates[cbss->channel->band] = rates;
[...]
For some reason the compiler doesn't understand this and warns.
While this is not a problem in the code itself, we can avoid polluting
the build logs with false positives by setting sta to NULL on
declaration and checking for sta instead of !have_sta in the second if.
