Atheros top level menu needs a "depends WLAN_80211" to properly indent
within menuconfig and xconfig interfaces.
This is purely a visual issue but it effects all subsequent drivers.
The issue is the top level menu does not include a dependency on
WLAN_80211 so within the tree structure, Atheros is at the same level as
WLAN_80211 but when WLAN_80211 collapsed, the menu disappears along with
all subsequent drives, so it is really a subordinate.

When we reclaim the tx desc, we always assume that the
last desc is a holding desc, which is not true, and skip it.
If the tx queue is drained during channel change, internal
reset and etc, the last descriptor may not be the holding
descriptor and we fail to reclaim them. This results in the
following two issues.
1. Tx stuck - We drop all the frames coming from upper layer
due to shortage in tx desc.
2. Crash - If we fail to reclaim a tx descriptor, we miss to
update the tx BA window with the seq number of the frame
associated to that desc, which, at some point, result in
the following crash due to an assert failure in ath_tx_addto_baw().
This patch fixes these two issues.

An earlier commit, 'ath9k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix', removed
code that was documented to disable RETRY_TIMEOUT register (PCI reg
0x41) since it was claimed to be a no-op. However, it turns out that
there are some combinations of hosts and ath9k-supported cards for
which this is not a no-op (reg 0x41 has value 0x80, not 0) and this
code (or something similar) is needed. In such cases, the driver may
be next to unusable due to very frequent PCI FATAL interrupts from the
card.
Reverting the earlier commit, i.e., restoring the RETRY_TIMEOUT
disabling, seems to resolve the issue. Since the removal of this code
was not based on any known issue and was purely a cleanup change, the
safest option here is to just revert that commit. Should there be
desire to clean this up in the future, the change will need to be
tested with a more complete coverage of cards and host systems.

All rfkill related code is separated into newly created rfkill.c.
Changes to existing code are minimal:

* inserted calls to HW rfkill init/deinit routines
* ath5k_intr() has been extended to handle AR5K_INT_GPIO interrupts

This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code.
In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs.
However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for
pending data frames.
This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g.
We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different
in the mean time. But - as you guessed it - this simple approach
stands in way for a decent aggregation implementation.

This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:
* all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
rather than having one central implementation
* updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
lots of code
* rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
internally -- the core should do this
* the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister
* rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
should be avoided
* rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module
* drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
that do nothing if it isn't compiled in
* the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()
* the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS
* the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
operations in locked sections
* fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
changes -- this wasn't done before

It looks like mac80211 can request the driver to start beaconing with
a beacon interval of zero in some cases (at least for mesh point). This
does not sound correct and something may need to be fixed in
mac80211. However, taken into account the unpleasantness of getting
stuck in an infinite busy loop with rtnl_lock held, let's add a quick
workaround in the driver to avoid the worst symptom while someone more
familiar with the mesh implementation can figure out what should be done
with mac80211 as far as beacon interval configuration is concerned.

problem is that the beacon gets stuck maybe once a day. After
Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan's "ath9k: cleanup beacon parameters

detected the stuck beacon, and did a reset. But it would fail the

Some APs seem to drift away from the expected TBTT (timestamp %
beacon_int_in_usec differs quite a bit from zero) which can result in
us waking up way too early to receive a Beacon frame. In order to work
around this, re-configure the Beacon timers after having received a
Beacon frame from the AP (i.e., when we know the offset between the
expected TBTT and the actual time the AP is sending out the Beacon
frame).

The previous version used a simple loop to go through all Beacon
frames when determining the next TBTT and DTIM count. This is not too
bad for the case where the setup happens before timesync (i.e., very
small TSF), but this can become very heavy operation if a short Beacon
interval is used and the current TSF is large.
In preparation for a patch to update timer setup based on Beacon
timestamp, optimize this routine to take fixed time regardless of the
actual TSF value.
