209d889bab ath5k: update channel in sw state after stopping RX and TX
This fixes a non-theoretical race condition when transmitting and
receiving frames during a scan.  If the channel or operating band
changes while processing status descriptors in the tasklets, ath5k
will incorrectly use the new channel and band when reporting the
rates, even if the frame was actually sent on a previous channel.

Typically this will manifest as a beacon found on an incorrect
frequency and/or a warning in the driver while scanning:

b726604706 ath5k: warn and correct rate for unknown hw rate indexes
ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to
the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some
received frames with incorrect rate indexes.  Such frames
normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(),
but it doesn't include enough information to track down the
error.

This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups
that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so
the frame can be processed.

9ca9fb8aa8 ath5k: disable MIB interrupts
The MIB interrupt fires whenever counters overflow; however without
support for automatic noise immunity, we can sometimes get an interrupt
storm.  The get_stats() callback reads the counters anyway so we can
disable the interrupt for now until ANI is implemented.  This fixes
the issue reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12647.

acf3c1a592 ath5k: move beacon processing to a tasklet

b5f03956c5 ath5k: use spin_lock_irqsave for beacon lock
ath5k_reset can be called from process context, which in turn can
call ath5k_beacon_config which takes the sc->block spinlock.  Since
it can also be taken in hard irq context, use spin_lock_irqsave
everywhere.  This fixes a potential deadlock in adhoc mode.

0b6f582bd3 ath5k: don't mask off interrupt bits
Since interrupts are already masked by the hardware, there's no need to
discard interrupt bits in the ISR itself.  Also, in ath5k_beacon_config
we mask off a couple of bits without locking, so doing this mask in
software can lead to unhandled beacon timer and beacon miss interrupts.

6f3b414aca ath5k: Update gain_F calibration code and add documentation
* Update and cleanup rf gain optimization code

 * Add comments and refferences to docs and use sane function names

 * Use only step index on ath5k_gain, no need to have a pointer to
   the current step since we can determine te step from it's index,
   this also allows us to put all other structs on rfgain.h and cleanup
   ath5k.h a little

 * No need for ah_rfgain variable, we use ah_gain.g_state for everything

 * Tested on RF2112B chip but gain_F calibration is not yet done
   (we will finish this on the next patch where we'll rewrite rf-buffer
   handling)

 * Use initial rf gain settings for 2316 and 2317 SoCs introduced on a previous patch

 It seems big but it's mostly cleanup, very few functional changes have been made on phy.c

934f6c3f8e Revert "ath5k: honor FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC in STA mode"
Unfortunately, the result was that mac80211 didn't see all the beacons
it actually wanted to see.  This caused lost associations.

Hopefully we can revisit this when mac80211 is less greedy about seeing
beacons directly...

This reverts commit 063279062a.

4c674c60bd ath5k: Update interrupt masking code
*Properly get/set all available ISR/IMR values and review common/uncommon bits
*Better handling of per-txq interrupts (we can now resolve what q is generating
 each interrupt -this will help in debuging wme later)
*Some minor updates from legacy-hal
*Properly handle RXNOFRM and TXNOFRM interrupt masking (even when we don't set
 them on IMR they keep showing up, so we disable them by zeroing AR5K_RXNOFRM
 and AR5K_TXNOFRM registers). This doesn't exist on legacy-hal but i've tested
 it on various cards and it works fine.

0bbac08f0a ath5k: reduce checkpatch.pl errors
A few changes to reduce checkpatch.pl errors in the ath5k driver.  For
the most part, I only fixed cosmetic things, and left the actual 'code
flow' untouched (hopefully)!

Diff is against wireless-testing HEAD.

e6a9854b05 mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API
So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
most drivers don't support that though.

b706e65b40 ath5k: fix mesh point operation
This patch fixes mesh point operation (thanks to YanBo for pointing
out the problem): make mesh point interfaces start beaconing when
they come up and configure the RX filter in mesh mode so that mesh
beacons and action frames are received.  Add mesh point to the check
in ath5k_add_interface.  Tested with multiple AR5211 cards.

you can use of 54 Mbps on a single stream card (all ath5k cards)
reliably.

da966bcae7 Ath5k: add AP mode
Add support for AP mode. This involves:
- enablement in ath5k_beacon_config -- initialize beacon timer
- add AP to the supported modes in ath5k_add_interface
- handle beacon change even for AP in ath5k_config_interface
- remove useless test for IBSS in ath5k_beacon_update

Note that it doesn't enable the AP mode for the driver. It must
be enabled by NL80211_IFTYPE_AP bit added to interface_modes.

v2:
Fixed opmode constant (IEEE80211_ to NL80211_)

e8975581f6 mac80211: introduce hw config change flags
This makes mac80211 notify the driver which configuration
actually changed, e.g. channel etc.

No driver changes, this is just plumbing, driver authors are
expected to act on this if they want to.

Also remove the HW CONFIG debug printk, it's incorrect, often
we configure something else.

063279062a ath5k: honor FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC in STA mode
We were setting RX_FILTER_BEACON even after entering STA mode,
which leads to a lot of unnecessary wakeups.  This should fix the
bug "Ath5k driver has too many interrupts per second at idle" at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11749.

bc1b32d6bd ath5k: Reset key cache on interface up, thus fixing resume
After a s2ram / resume cycle, resetting the key cache does not work
unless it is deferred until after the hardware has been reinitialised by
a call to ath5k_hw_reset(). This fixes a regression introduced by
"ath5k: fix suspend-related oops on rmmod".
