Noise floor calibration does not interfere with traffic and should run more
often as part of our "short calibration". The full calibration is not the
noise floor calibration but the AGC + Gain_F (on RF5111 and RF5112) calibration
and should run less often because it does interfere with traffic.
So
Short calibration -> I/Q & NF Calibration
Long calibration -> Short + AGC + Gain_F
This patch was for some time on my pub/ dir on www.kernel.org and has been tested
by a few people and me. I think it's O.K. to go in.
I also changed ah_calibration to ah_iq_cal_needed to make more sense.
v2 Use a workqueue instead of a tasklet for calibration

Add TXNOFRM to INT_TX_ALL since it's a TX interrupt too.
Signed-off-by: Nick Kossifidis <mickflemm@gmail.com>
Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
Since card has 12 tx queues and we want to keep track of the interrupts
per queue we can't fit all these interrupt bits on a single register.
So we have 5 registers, the primary interrupt status register (PISR) and
the 4 secondary interupt status registers (SISRs).
In order to be able to read them all at once (atomic operation) Atheros
introduced the Read-And-Clear registers to make things easier. So when
reading RAC_PISR register, hw does a read on PISR and all SISRs, returns
the value of PISR, copies all SISR values to their shadow copies (RAC_SISRx)
and clears PISR and SISRs. This saves us from reading PISR/SISRs in a sequence.
So far we 've used this approach and MadWiFi/Windows driver etc also used it
for years.
It turns out this operation is not atomic after all (at least not on all cards)
That means it's possible to loose some interrupts because they came after the
copy step and hw cleared them on the clean step !
That's probably the reason we got missed beacons, got stuck queues etc and
couldn't figure out what was going on.
With this patch we switch from RaC operation to an alternative method (that
makes more sense IMHO anyway, I just chose to be on the safe side so far).
Instead of reading RAC registers, we read the normal PISR/SISR registers and
clear any bits we got by writing them back on the register. This will clear only
the bits we got on our read step and leave any new bits unaffected (at least
that's what docs say). So if any new interrupts come up we won't miss it.
I've tested this with an AR5213 and an AR2425 and it seems O.K.
Many thanks to Adrian Chadd for debuging this and reviewing the patch !
v2: Make sure we don't clear PISR bits that map to SISR generated interrupts

The conformance test limits (CTL) for each regulatory domains
(FCC/ETSI/MKK) are programmed for each runtime modes (11B,11G,
HT20 and HT40) in EEPROM. The lowest ctledge power value of a
particular running mode should not be used while computing
ctledge power for a different running mode.(i.e 11G's min ctledge
power should not be used while computing ctledge power for HT20).
Currently, the code does not handle this properly which would
result in incorrect txpowers in certain cases. So reset the
twiceMaxEdgePower to the default while computing min ctlegepower
for every mode.

When tx agg is being stopped TID is flushed using ath_tx_flush_tid. It
is possible that ath_tx_flush_tid completelly flushes TID (if all
packets in this TID have already been retried). If this happened
ath_tx_aggr_stop would leave TID in cleanup state permanently.
Fix this by making ath_tx_flush_tid remove AGGR_ADDBA_COMPLETE and
AGGR_CLEANUP flags from TID status if TID is empty.

Firmware crashes while starting Soft AP in 32 bit x86 platform.
The reason is that the single dma buffer (ar_sdio->dma_buffer)
is used in ath6kl_sdio_read_write_sync() for unaligned buffer
handling and this function is called in the multiple context
at the same time. So, finally hits dma buffer corruption and

When operating AP interface is brough down the mode is reset to
STA. This STA will be reconfigured into AP mode when the interface
is brought up again. This sequence will be successful only when
change_virtual_intf() returns with no error, but there is a
check in this callback which does the type change only when
that interface is active. This callback does nothing more
than saving the new interface type to vif and wdev, so the
sanity check for interface state and wmi state is not necessary.
This makes the AP interface functional again after interface down/up.
