This patch updates IEEE802.11 mesh constants to be consistent with newly
approved values. It modifies some values, as well as adds many new constants
in preparation for updating mesh code to the current 802.11s drafts. ANA
numbers were taken from:
https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/09/11-09-0031-12-0000-ana-database-assigned-number-authority.xls
A few notes are in order:
1. This will break backwards compatibility with existing Linux kernels as
over-the-air constants have changed.
2. Some old and obsolete constants have been retained for now as the mesh code
itself hasn't been updated yet to the new 802.11s draft. This was desired to
keep the existing mesh scheme working until it can be updated. Adding the
approved values is the first step in updating the mesh code.
3. Obsolete constants have been clearly marked.

applied to avoid possible warning in ieee80211_restart_hw, however
reason of the warning were races in mac80211, currently hopefully fixed.
Not reseting device when performing scan is bad for two reasons.
When forcing reset from iwl_check_stuck_queue(), in case of fail,
reset will be repeated until scan finish. But since firmware is in bad
shape, scan only finish after scan_check work (about 7s). So we will
delay the reset, what is not good behaviour.
When forcing reset from iwl_recover_from_statistics(), we will not
repeat the reset, so we will not perform reset at all when needed.

ath9k_hw: clean up register write buffering
Throughout the code, DISABLE_REGWRITE_BUFFER is always called right after
REGWRITE_BUFFER_FLUSH. Since that's unlikely to change any time soon, that
makes keeping those ops separate rather pointless, as it only increases
code size and line number counts.

ath9k_hw: merge codepaths that access the cycle counter registers
The cycle counters are used by ANI to determine the amount of time that the
radio spent not receiving or transmitting. They're also used for debugging
purposes if the baseband watchdog on AR9003 detects a lockup.
In the future, we want to use these counters to determine the medium utilization
and export this information via survey. For that, we need to make sure that
the counter is only accessed from one place, which also ensures that
wraparounds won't occur at inconvenient points in time.

ath9k_hw: clean up calibration flags
The calibration actual calibration flags are only used by the per chip family
source files, so it makes more sense to define them in those files instead
of globally. That way the code has to test for less flags.
Also instead of using a separate callback for testing whether a particular
calibration type is supported, simply adjust ah->supp_cals in the calibration
init which is called right after the hardware reset, before any of the
calibrations are run.

mac80211: delete AddBA response timer
We never delete the addBA response timer, which
is typically fine, but if the station it belongs
to is deleted very quickly after starting the BA
session, before the peer had a chance to reply,
the timer may fire after the station struct has
been freed already. Therefore, we need to delete
the timer in a suitable spot -- best when the
session is being stopped (which will happen even
then) in which case the delete will be a no-op
most of the time.
I've reproduced the scenario and tested the fix.

iwlagn: reduce redundant parameter definitions
move paramater definitions to a device paramater structure only
leaving the device name, which antennas are used and what firmware
file to use in the iwl_cfg structure. this will not completely
remove the redundancies but greatly reduce them for devices that
only vary by name or antennas. the parameters that are more
likely to change within a given device family are left in iwl_cfg.
also separate bt param structure added to help reduce more.

mac80211: fix channel assumption for association done work
Be consistent and use the wk->chan instead of the
local->hw.conf.channel for the association done work.
This prevents any possible races against channel changes
while we run this work.
In the case that the race did happen we would be initializing
the bit rates for the new AP under the assumption of a wrong
channel and in the worst case, wrong band. This could lead
to trying to assuming we could use CCK frames on 5 GHz, for
example.
This patch has a fix for kernels >= v2.6.34
