The calibration period is now invoked by triggering a software
interrupt from within the ISR by ath5k_hw_calibration_poll()
instead of via a timer.
However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before
interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an
interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the
interval is actually negative. As a result, the ISR will
arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then
rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a
softlockup at modprobe time.
Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval
is set before interrupts are active. Another possible fix
is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine,
but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.

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.

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 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
one device this code was doing nothing.

We should not zero out the multicast hash when configuring
the operating mode, since a zero value means all multicast
frames will get dropped. Also, ath5k_mode_setup() gets
called after any reset, so the hash already set up in
configure_filter() is lost.

Since we have a TODO item to make all station
management dependent on virtual interfaces, I
figured I'd start with pushing such a change
to drivers before more drivers start using the
ieee80211_find_sta() API with a hw pointer and
cause us grief later on.
For now continue exporting the old API in form
of ieee80211_find_sta_by_hw(), but discourage
its use strongly.

Force bias is a fix for usage of AR5416 radios on the 2.4 GHz band
for orientation sensitivity. This was only partially implemented
with the ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() but first -- this was being
called for all chipsets which is not correct and second -- it was
missing the actual orientation code.
We now ensure to only enable force bias only for AR5416 and BUG_ON()
on other chipsets. Although ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() was enabled
for newer chipsets I suspect that it never ran unless the EEPROM had
ATH9K_ANT_FIXED_A or ATH9K_ANT_FIXED_B for antenna diversity.

ath9k_hw_rfattach() was just calling a helper and this helper was
doing nothing for single-chip devices, and for non single-chip devices
it is just allocating memory for banks to program the RF registers
at a later time. Simplify this by having the hw initialization call
the rf bank allocation directly for external radios.
Also, propagate an -ENOMEM properly now upon failure.

Document what we can about the RF analog front ends (radios)
of Atheros 802.11n devices. What should be clearer now is the
what we do for old pre AR5416 and AR5418 MAC based devices in
comparison to the modern sigle-chip 802.11n solutions.
All devices after AR9280 are single chip and require less
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.
