Atheros single stream AR9285 and AR9271 have half the PCU TX FIFO
buffer size of that of dual stream devices. Dual stream devices
have a max PCU TX FIFO size of 8 KB while single stream devices
have 4 KB. Single stream devices have an issue though and require
hardware only to use half of the amount of its capable PCU TX FIFO
size, 2 KB and this requires a change in software.
Technically a change would not have been required (except for frame
burst considerations of 128 bytes) if these devices would have been
able to use the full 4 KB of the PCU TX FIFO size but our systems
engineers recommend 2 KB to be used only. We enforce this through
software by reducing the max frame triggger level to 2 KB.
Fixing the max frame trigger level should then have a few benefits:
* The PER will now be adjusted as designed for underruns when the
max trigger level is reached. This should help alleviate the
bus as the rate control algorithm chooses a slower rate which
should ensure frames are transmitted properly under high system
bus load.
* The poll we use on our TX queues should now trigger and work
as designed for single stream devices. The hardware passes
data from each TX queue on the PCU TX FIFO queue respecting each
queue's priority. The new trigger level ensures this seeding of
the PCU TX FIFO queue occurs as designed which could mean avoiding
false resets and actually reseting hw correctly when a TX queue
is indeed stuck.
* Some undocumented / unsupported behaviour could have been triggered
when the max trigger level level was being set to 4 KB on single
stream devices. Its not clear what this issue was to me yet.

When mac80211 was telling us to go into Powersave we listened
and immediately turned RX off. This meant hardware would not
see the ACKs from the AP we're associated with and hardware
we'd end up retransmiting the null data frame in a loop
helplessly.
Fix this by keeping track of the transmitted nullfunc frames
and only when we are sure the AP has sent back an ACK do we
go ahead and shut RX off.

ath9k and ath9k_htc share a lot of common hardware characteristics.
They only differ in that ath9k_htc works with a target CPU and ath9k
works directly with the hardware. ath9k_htc will do *some* things in
the firmware, but a lot of others on the host.
The common 802.11n hardware code is already shared through the ath9k_hw
module. Common helpers amongst all Atheros drivers can use the ath module,
this includes ath5k and ar9170 as users. But there is some common driver
specific helpers which are not exactly hardware code which ath9k and
ath9k_htc can share. We'll be using ath9k_common for this to avoid

ath9k virtual wiphys all share the same internal buffer space
for TX but they do not share the mac80211 skb queues. When
ath9k detects it is running low on buffer space to TX it tells
mac80211 to stop sending it skbs its way but it always does
this only for the primary wiphy. This means mac80211 won't know
its best to avoid sending ath9k more skbs on a separate virtual
wiphy. The same issue is present for reliving the skb queue.
Since ath9k does not keep track of which virtual wiphy is hammering
on TX silence all wiphy's TX when we're low on buffer space. When
we're free on buffer space only bother informing the virtual wiphy
which is active that we have free buffers.

The way idle configuration detection was implemented as
busted due to the fact that it assumed the ath9k virtual wiphy,
the aphy, would be marked as inactive if it was not used but
it turns out an aphy is always active if its the only wiphy
present. We need to distinguish between aphy activity and
idleness so we now add an idle bool for the aphy and mark
it as such based on the passed IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE
from mac80211.
Previous to all_wiphys_idle would never be true when using
only one device so we never really were using
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE -- we never turned the radio
off or on upon IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE changes as radio
changes depended on all_wiphys_idle being true either to
turn the radio on or off. Since it was always false for

programming -- the RF registers no longer need to be initialized
as they all have the RF analog front end embedded together with
the MAC/BB; this includes the AR9271. Older devices such as the
ones with the AR5416 MACs (PCI) or AR5418 MACs (PCI-E) have an
external 2.4 GHz AR2133 radio or a dual band 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz
AR5133 radio. These external radios require additional programming
of the RF registers.
Clarify which parts are for what devices and which code is
shared. This patch has no functional changes.

This update the register initialization/reset values (aka initvals)
for ar9271 based on the last recommended values on 2009-06-04 by our
systems engineering team.
The changes account for:
* Supporting ar9271 1.0 and ar9271 1.1 together, the difference
is bb_spectral_scan_ena, for 1.0 we'll set this to 0x1.
* Ensuring we get the correct noise floor values -115 ~ -118
when we enable bb_enable_ant_div_lnadiv=0 and
mc_tx_def_ant_sel=1. Previous to this we would get noise
floor values in the range -50 ~ -80. To fix settings for
the registers:
- bb_ch1_xatten1_db
- bb_ch1_xatten2_db
- bb_ch1_xatten1_margin
- bb_ch1_xatten2_margin
- bb_ch1_gain_force
- bb_ch1_xatten2_hyst_margin
- bb_ch1_xatten1_hyst_margin
- bb_ch1_max_oc_gain
* 0x8120[2] mc_mic_new_location_enable is changed to 0x1. The MAC team
suggest to set this value.
* 0x9910[0] bb_spectral_scan_ena is changed to 0x0.
For ar9271 1.1 we don't need to enable this bit.

The patch e43419f9:

downgraded an ASSERT to a WARN_ON() but also misplaced a
semicolon at the end of the second check. What this did
was force the rate control code to always return the rate
even if we should have warned about it. Since this should
not have happened anymore anyway this fix isn't critical
as the proper rate would have been returned anyway.

This updates ath5k to calibrate the noise floor similar to the
way it is done in the madwifi hal and ath9k. Of note:
- we start NF measurement at the same time as AGC calibration,
but do not actually read the value until the periodic (long)
calibration
- we keep a history of the last few values read and write the
median back to the hardware for CCA
- we do not complain if NF calibration isn't complete, instead
we keep the last read value.

We disable ASPM when enabling bluetooth coexistance. Disabling
ASPM is a bus specific operation. In the future other buses may
support bluetooth coexistance, an example is USB. To this end
move the current routine which disables ASPM into pci.c, and declare
it the PCI bt_coex_prep() helper. Additionally, since ASPM is
a PCI-Express primitive ensure we don't ever try to muck with ASPM
registers on non PCI-express devices.
This also cleans up hw.c to not include bus specific headers or
