The change enables offloading TCP checksum calculation to firmware.
There are still some issues with the checksum offload so better to
disable it by default until the issues are resolved.
To enable TCP checksum offload for tx and rx paths, use
the ethtool as follows:
ethtool -K <interface> tx on
ethtool -K <interface> rx on
To disable TCP checksum offload, for tx and rx paths, use
the ethtool as follows:
ethtool -K <interface> tx off
ethtool -K <interface> rx off

As firmware starting from 3.2.0.12 has some API changes and doesn't work
with older versions of ath6kl we need to bump up the API version. This
way we don't break anything.
Also store which version of API is used and print that during boot:
ath6kl: ar6003 hw 2.1.1 sdio fw 3.2.0.13 api 3

Currently ath6kl has just hardcoded paths to each firmware file. Change
this more dynamic by separating the the directory and file name from each
other. That way it's easier to dynamically create full paths to firmware and
code looks better. And now it's possible to remove a function needed by
devicetree code.
While at it add a structure inside struct ath6kl_hw to contain all
firmware names. I deliberately omitted board file support as
those will be handled later.
This is needed for firmware API 3.

Many systems (e.g. embedded systems) do not have wifi modules connected to
bluetooth modules, so bluetooth coexistence is irrelevant there. With the
addition of MCI support, ath9k picked up quite a bit of extra code that
can be compiled out this way.
This patch redefines ATH9K_HW_CAP_MCI and adds an inline wrapper for
querying the bluetooth coexistence scheme, allowing the compiler to
eliminate code that uses it, with only very little use of #ifdef.
On MIPS this reduces the total size for the modules by about 20k.

This patch enables support for doing P2P management operations like device
discovery on top of a station interface. After group formation, the station
interface will become a P2P GO/client interface as the case may be.
This feature requires modifications to a couple of existing WMI structures and
therefore new command ids and structures have been defined in order to be
compatible with older firmware versions and other chips. The exception here is
the wmi_connect_cmd. Adding a new field to the end of the structure will not
cause any issues with previous firmware versions since firmware only checks for
minimum length of the command. The other structures are of variable length,
hence it was not possible to add new fields to the end.
The new command ids have to be added to the end of enum wmi_cmd_id, so it has
updated to match the firmware.
The driver will support both the 'old' and the 'new' commands for a while by
checking the firmware capabilities.

When we receive a country IE hint and we have a world roaming card
we can optimize output power further by ensuring that we use the
calibrated data for the country by using that country's own CTL data.
That is -- when world roaming and when we process a country IE we
no longer need to use the lowest output power of all CTLs instead
we use an optimized CTL output power for that specific country.
We accomplish this by copying the regulatory data prior on init
and restoring it when cfg80211 tells us it gets a core hint. Core
hints are only sent on init and when it wants to restore reguulatory
settings. We take advantage of this fact and apply the cached
regulatory data when we get a core hint. When we get a country IE
hint though we process the regulatory data as if programmed for
a specific country.
