When the chip is in sleep mode, there is no point trying to calibrate
the radio since it will just results in incorrect values being read
from registers and other potential issues. In addition, if we actually
start processing calibrate, do not allow the chip to be put into sleep
until we have completed the calibration step.

When using timeout=0 (PS-Poll) with mac80211, the driver will need to
wake up for TX requests and remain awake until the TX has been
completed (ACK received or timeout) or until the buffer frame(s) have
been received (in case the TX is for a PS-Poll frame).

We do not need to do this in ath_isr() and it looks like the modified
version ends up being more stable as far as being able receive beacon
frames is concerned. Furthermore, this reduces need to move between
AWAKE and NETWORK SLEEP states when processing some unrelated
interrupts.

On x86 this allows us to do the following small savings:
shave off 23 % off of the module's data, and
shave off 6 % off of the module's text.
We save 456 bytes, for those counting.

The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the
BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most
other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes
config_interface and rolls all the information it previously
passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.

We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.
This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.
NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
drivers, some are updated in this patch.

When the EEPROM is not in good condition we cannot continue so
we currently bail out but only ath5k is bailing out properly.
Both ath9k and ar9170 were proceeding and if a user were to run
into this they'd see an obscure panic. Lets propagate the error
as intended and make sure we inform the user by lifting the
error message from debug to a kernel error.

This patch cleans up the functions dealing with calibration,
using proper return values.
ath9k_hw_per_calibration(), ath9k_hw_calibrate now return bool values
instead of setting error values in the function arguments.
