The commit, "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
modified the immunity level tables for both CCK and OFDM. Fix them
so that the tables are in sync with the internal driver/codebase.

The commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
changed various ANI operational parameters to address a specific
card/environment. This is not really applicable for other cards
in general usage.
As per internal documentation, lowering the immunity level can be
done only after 5 periods have passed and the CCK/OFDM errors are
below the low watermak threshold - which have been fixed at 300 and
400 respectively by the sytems team.
Raising the immunity level can be done when CCK/OFDM errors exceed
600 and 1000 (per second).
Set these values once during attach.

Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.
The wiki page for the driver is:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k
The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
Bartosz Markowski <bartosz.markowski@tieto.com>
Janusz Dziedzic <janusz.dziedzic@tieto.com>
Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>

The ath9k rate control algorithm has various architectural
issues that make it a poor fit in scenarios like congested
environments etc.
An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191
Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can
be removed altogether later on.

Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.

If any bins from the training data are skipped (i != max_index), the
calculated compensation curve gets distorted, and the signal will be
wildly overamplified. This may be the cause of the reported hardware
damage that was caused by PA predistortion (because of which PAPRD was
disabled by default).
When calculating the x_est, Y, theta values, the use of max_index and i
was reversed. i points to the bin index whereas max_index refers to the
index of the calculated arrays.
Note that PA predistortion is still disabled, it will be re-enabled
after it has been properly validated.

Introduce NAPI for Rx and Tx completion.
This fixes packet reordering that happens when Rx handled right in
the IRQ: netif_rx puts packet in 'percpu' queue, then network stack
fetches packets from 'percpu' queues for processing, with different
pattern of queue switching. As result, network stack see packets
in different order. This causes hard to understand TCP throughput
degradation in about 30min
Complete polling if only one packet was processed - this eliminates
empty polls that would be otherwise done at the end of each burst
