ath9k_hw: Fix Tx IQ Calibration hang issue in AR9003 chips
On AR9003 chips, doing three IQ calibrations will possibly cause chip
in stuck state. In noisy environment, chip could receive
a packet during the middle of three calibrations and it causes
the conflict of HW access and the eventual failure. It also
causes IQ calibration outliers which results in poor Tx EVM.
The IQ Cal procedure is after resetting the chip, run IQ cal 3 times
per each cal cycle and find the two closest readings and average of two.
The advantage of running Tx IQ cal more than once is that we can compare
calibration results for the same gain setting over multiple iterations.
Most of the cases the IQ failures were observed after first pass.
For the AR9485 and later chips, Tx IQ Calibration is performed along
with AGC cal. But for pre-AR9485 chips, Tx IQ cal HW has to be separated
from the rest of calibration HW to avoid chip hang. After all
calibrations are done in HW, we can start SW post-processing.
By doing this way, we minimize the SW difference among all chips.
The order of calibration (run IQ cal before other calibration) is also
needed to avoid chip hang for chips before AR9485. This issue was
originally observed with AR9382.
During the issue kernel log was filled with following message
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0xa640: 0x00000001 & 0x00000001 != 0x00000000

We need not wake up the chip even before mutex lock is acquired and also
that it is required only if we are going to drain the txq. So place the
wrappers accordingly and this change is also useful when there are no
pending frames in the txq as we do not wake up the chip unnecessarily.

This is in preparation to support life time expiry of packets in the
hardware to avoid head-of-line blocking where a slow client can
hog a tx queue and affect the traffic to a faster client from the same
queue. Time stamp the packets in driver to allow dropping them in the
hardware if they are queued for more than 500ms.
If queues are stopped, packets will be queued up outside the driver.
Since we will be able to timestamp the packets only after they hit the
driver, the timestamp will be less accurate since we cannot consider
the time the packets spent in queues outside the driver. With this commit,
to achieve accurate timestamping, the tx queues will not be stopped in
normal conditions. The only scenarios where the queues will be stopped are
when firmware commands are executing or if the interface is brought down.
Now, we need to be prepared for a situation where packets hit the driver
even after the tx queues are full. Drop all such packets in the driver itself.

We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the

rt2x00: Split rt2x00dev->flags
The number of flags defined for the rt2x00dev->flags field,
has been growing over the years. Currently we are approaching
the maximum number of bits which are available in the field.
A secondary problem, is that one part of the field are initialized only
during boot, because the driver requirements are initialized or device
requirements are loaded from the EEPROM. In both cases, the flags are
fixed and will not change during device operation. The other flags are
the device state, and will change frequently. So far this resulted in the fact
that for some flags, the atomic bit accessors are used, while for the others
the non-atomic variants are used.
By splitting the flags up into a "flags" and "cap_flags" we can put all flags
which are fixed inside "cap_flags". This field can then be read non-atomically.
In the "flags" field we keep the device state, which is going to be read atomically.

rt2x00: Fix stuck queue in tx failure case
Since commit 0b7fde54f94979edc67bbf86b5adba702ebfefe8 "rt2x00: Protect
queue control with mutex" rt2x00 used rt2x00queue_pause_queue for
stopping a tx queue in mac80211. But in case of a failure in the tx
path rt2x00 still called ieee80211_stop_queue which stopped the queue
but prevented rt2x00queue_unpause_queue to wake the queue up again
resulting in a stuck tx queue.
Fix this by also using rt2x00queue_pause_queue in case of tx failures.

rt2x00: Enable WLAN LED on Ralink SoC (rt305x) devices
This patch adds WLAN LED support to the mac80211 rt2x00 driver for
Ralink SoC (rt305x) devices. The current WLAN LED drivers in
rt2800lib.c set the LED brightness via an MCU request, but do nothing
for SoC. This patch checks for SoC and sets the register to enable the
WLAN LED (instead of an MCU request). This enables the WLAN LED for
RT305x devices.

ath9k: assign keycache slots to unencrypted stations
Frame filtering relies on having a valid destination index (keycache slot),
to keep track of the destination. Assigning a keycache slot (configured
to unencrypted, with no key data attached) improves powersave handling in
AP mode with no encryption.
The dummy keycache entry for a station is cleared, when a real key gets
added.

ath9k: fix powersave frame filtering/buffering in AP mode
This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being
sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations.
This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting
of A-MDPU subframes.
Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every
single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT
for unaggregated frames.
A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they
enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure
that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state.
Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter
needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.

While leaving the oper channel, beacon generation is stopped
by mac80211 and beacon slots are marked as inactive.
During the scan, ath9k configures beacon timers
based on IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which inturn generates
beacon alert even though bslot is inactive.
ath9k fails to disable beacon alert while moving to offchannel
if none of the beacon slot is active. This is causing beacon
transmission on foreign channel. This patch enables swba
based on active bslots.
This issue was reported with two vifs (AP+STA) and triggered
scan in STA vif in unassociated state.

mac80211: add a function for setting the TIM bit for a specific station
This allows a driver to buffer frames for a PS station and tell mac80211
to wake it up even though mac80211 does not have any buffered frames for
it.
This is necessary for properly handling aggregation related buffering,
in ath9k, because the driver needs to keep its frames in order to keep
track of the Block-ACK window.
