During initialization ath9k tends to use "attach" to when we
initialize hardware due to the fact we used to attach a "HAL".
The notion of a HAL is long gone, so lets just be clear on what
we are doing.

This makes reading the hardware initialization process
easier to understand. The new helpers added are:
ath9k_hw_init_cal_settings()
ath9k_hw_init_mode_regs()
ath9k_hw_init_mode_gain_regs()
ath9k_hw_init_11a_eeprom_fix()

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

Previously, we would store the operating mode at interface up time,
but only update the PCU registers when the next reset happened.
The result is that if beacon configuration (ops->bss_info_changed)
happens before ops->config, we will program the wrong things into
the timer registers. Consequently, beacons won't work in AP mode
until after a reset (channel change, scan etc.).
This is fragile anyway so just program the opmode as soon as
mac80211 gives it to us.

Now the lowest rate in 11na ht40 mode is 13.5Mbps this shortens the
range when compared to 11na ht20 mode where the lowest rate is 6.5Mbps.
To improve the range, make 6.5Mbps as the lowest rate in 11na ht40 mode,
this improves the range by approximately 2dB. 11ng ht40 does not have
this issue as it also has basic rates (1, 2, 5.5 and 11).

We should be cancelling our work at the stop callback since
we are borrowing the mac80211 workqueue for our work. As it

ath9k uses the mac80211 workqueue for 4 different types of work:
* Led blink work
* TX hang monitoring work
* internal wiphy schedular work
* channel change work done for internal wiphy schedular
Since the internal wiphy schedular can end up kicking off some
channel channel change work we should first cancel the wiphy
schedular work and then the channel change work.
The TX hang work can be cancelled second since we're going down
anyway.

There is a small window where the mac80211 changes the IEEE80211_CONF_PS
flag, and then informs the driver about the change. We have a race
condition if we are checking the flag in the same time. Avoid it by
introducing a local variable, and using that instead of checking the
IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag directly.
