ath9k: Fix TX filter usage
The TX filter bit for a station would be set by the HW
when a frame is not acked. A frame would be completed with
ATH9K_TXERR_FILT status only when the corresponding filter bit
for the destination station is already set.
Currently, un-acknowledged packets are added to the pending queue
and retried, but the "clear_dest_mask" bit in the descriptor is
set only when the TX status has been ATH9K_TXERR_FILT. This results
in packet loss and the log shows:
This issue can be resolved by making sure that the destination
mask is cleared when the packet is being retried and the earlier
TX status is ATH9K_TXERR_XRETRY.

wireless: ath9k-htc: only load firmware in need
It is not necessary to hold the firmware memory during the whole

4*50KBytes RAM to cache firmware for all dongles. After applying the
patch, kernel only caches one single firmware image in RAM for
all ath9k-htc devices just during system suspend/resume cycle.
When system is ready for loading firmware, ath9k-htc can request
the loading from usersapce. During system resume, ath9k-htc still
can load the firmware which was cached in kernel memory before
system suspend.

changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to
