116b3a2e0f ath6kl: Implement support for background scan control from userspace
In order to allow user space based control of background scan interval,
we use available debugfs infrastructure. The feature has been added for
testing purposes. The user has to write the bgscan interval (in secs) to
the bgscan_interval file in ath6kl debug directory. To disable bgscan,
a '0' is to be written to the bgscan_interval file.

Example:

echo "2" > bgscan_interval

This will make the background scan interval as 2 seconds

kvalo: changed implementation so that there's only one call to
ath6kl_wmi_scanparams_cmd()

8fffd9e5ec ath6kl: Implement support for QOS-enable and QOS-disable from userspace
In order to allow user space based QOS control we use the available debugfs
infrastructure. With this feature, user can make changes to qos parameters,
thereby allowing creation and deletion of user defined priority streams and
features like uapsd. This feature has been added for testing purposes.

All 21 parameters for the create_qos command are mandatory in the correct
order. They have to be written to the create_qos file in
the ath6kl debug directory. These parameters(in order) are:

1)user priority
2)direction
3)traffic class
4)traffic type
5)voice PS capability
6)min service intvl
7)max service intvl
8)inactivity intvl
9)suspension intvl
10)serv start time
11)tsid
12)nominal msdu
13)max msdu
14)min data rate
15)mean data rate
16)peak data rate
17)max burst size
18)delay bound
19)min phy rate
20)surplus bw allowance
21)medium time

To create a qos stream:

echo "6 2 3 1 1 9999999 9999999 9999999 7777777 0 6 45000 200 56789000
56789000 5678900 0 0 9999999 20000 0" > create_qos

delete_qos requires 2 parameters:

1)traffic class
2)tsid

To delete a qos stream:

echo "3 1" > delete_qos

171693292e ath6kl: Fix endpoint_stats debugfs buffer length calculation
The previous version did not really make much sense and the theoretical
maximum length would be a bit longer. Calculate the length more
accurately. In addition, there is no need to clear the buffer, so use
kmalloc instead of kzalloc. For bonus points, add the forgotten
cred_rpt_from_other value to the file.

9a7308341b ath6kl: silence "invalid rate" warning
For some reason firmware is sending invalid rates when we try to
query current bitrate from ath6kl_get_station() and a warning is issued:

[ 3810.415720] ath6kl: invalid rate: 1935633515
[ 3811.105493] ath6kl: invalid rate: 1935633515
[ 3811.556063] ath6kl: invalid rate: 1935633515

As the warning happens way too often, convert the warning to a debug
message once we have a proper fix. But to make it easy to follow
how often the problem appears, add a debugfs to print
various statistics about workarounds and make this issue the first WAR.

00b1edf169 ath6kl: fix TCP corruption
Commit 94e532d1a ("ath6kl: Fix system freeze under heavy data load")
aligns the skb data without checking if the skb is cloned. Because of
this ath6kl can corrupt the local TCP stack information that can result
in TCP retransmission failing and TCP connections stalling.

To avoid the corruption we need to copy the skb. Now the alignment
in ath6kl_htc_tx_buf_align() doesn't corrupt TCP packets anymore (and is
not even used for the cloned skb's that got copied since the alignment
of the data is handled at the copy time).

aad9339fa2 ath6kl: Remove unnecessary retrieval of first list entry in ath6kl_htc_tx_setup_scat_list()
It is unnecessary to take the first list entry from queue again for
transmission. Sometimes it may look racy when the head of the list
changes between subsequent retrival, but should not happen in
practical.
