IBSS mode requires the changing of supported rate. Do this
by reassociate the peer. The investigation shows that if move
from legacy to HT, the rate control won't work after changing
the supported rate. But once changing the supported rate to HT,
user can assign the TxRate in HT mode.

Seems like we have an old bug, where we incidently overwrites
the max_antenna_gain we pass to firmware, with zero value.
End of all we are artifically reducing the output power.
This patch removes the excessive assignment on max_antenna_gain,
which is being provided by regulatory domain, and consequently
improves the tx power.

Older chipsets are more sensitive to high PHY error counts, and the
current noise immunity thresholds were based on tests run at QCA with
newer chipsets.
This patch brings back the values from the old ANI implementation for
old chipsets, and it also disables weak signal detection on an earlier
noise immunity level, to improve overall radio stability on affected
devices.

The commit 80b4205b "ath9k: Fix OFDM weak signal detection for AP mode"
prevented weak signal detection changes from taking effect in AP mode on
all chipsets, claiming it is "not allowed".
The main reason for not disabling weak signal detection in AP mode is
that typically beacon RSSI is used to track whether it is needed to
boost range, and this is unavailable in AP mode for obvious reasons.
The problem with not disabling weak signal detection is that older
chipsets are very sensitive to high PHY error counts. When faced with
heavy noise, this can lead to an excessive amount of "Failed to stop
TX DMA" errors in the field.

One of the premises was to guarantee serialized
completion handling for upper layers
(HTC/WMI/HTT). Since quite some time now it is no
longer necessary.
The other premise was to batch up tx/rx
completions to take advantage of hot caches.
However frame tx/rx completion indications come in
on a single pipe already so they are already
batched up. More meaningful batching is done in
HTT itself.
This means PCI completion is no longer necessary
to keep around. It just wastes memory, cycles and
SLOC.

Going through full htc tx path for htt tx is a
waste of resources. By skipping it it's possible
to easily submit scatter-gather to the pci hif for
reduced host cpu load and improved performance.
The new approach uses dma pool to store the
following metadata for each tx request:
* msdu fragment list
* htc header
* htt tx command
The htt tx command contains a msdu prefetch.
Instead of copying it original mapped msdu address
is used to submit a second scatter-gather item to
hif to make a complete htt tx command.
The htt tx command itself hands over dma mapped
pointers to msdus and completion of the command
itself doesn't mean the frame has been sent and
can be unmapped/freed. This is why htc tx
completion is skipped for htt tx as all tx related
resources are freed upon htt tx completion
indication event (which also implicitly means htt
tx command itself was completed).
Since now each htt tx request effectively consists
of 2 copy engine items CE_HTT_H2T_MSG_SRC_NENTRIES
is updated to allow maximum of
TARGET_10X_NUM_MSDU_DESC msdus being queued. This
keeps the tx path resource management simple.
