This feature is to mitigate the problem of certain 3
stream chips that exceed the PCIe power requirements.An EEPROM flag
controls which chips have APM enabled which is basically read from
miscellaneous configuration element of the EEPROM header.
This workaround will reduce power consumption by using 2 Tx chains for
Single and Double stream rates (5 GHz only).All self generated frames
(regardless of rate) are sent on 2 chains when this feature is
enabled(Chip Limitation).

AR_RxKeyIdxValid will not be set for bcast/mcast frames and so relying
this status for MIC failed frames is buggy.
Due to this, MIC failure events for broadcast frames are not sent to
supplicant resulted in AP disconnecting the STA.

The recent tx path cleanups moved the software retry count tracking
from the ath_buf to the skb cb, however the actual counter update
referred to the wrong location, confusing block-ack window tracking.
Fix this by using the retries counter in the struct ath_frame_info.

card->priv must not be accessed after lbs_remove_card() was called
as lbs_remove_card() frees card->priv via free_netdev().
For libertas_sdio this is a regression introduced by 23b149c189.
The correct fix to the issue described there is simply to remove the
assignment. This flag is set at the appropriate time inside
lbs_remove_card anyway.

The probe-request template used in the hardware connection monitoring feature
thus far has been an empty one, without the SSID IE and without supported rate
IEs. This causes problems with some AP's.
Additionally, after connected scans, the template for connection maintenance
would remain to be the one last used for scanning - potentially incorrect.
Fix these by getting a pre-filled directed probe-request template for the
associated-to AP from mac80211.

Instead of simply not scanning for the 11a channels when not supported by the
hardware, disable the channels in reg_notify. This centralizes the decision
on whether to scan 5GHz channel in one place and allows userspace to know
exactly which channels are in use.
Based on Juuso Oikarinen's idea.

Since aggregation queues are station-specific, the
device will not reject packets in them but rather
will stop the appropriate aggregation queues when
a station goes to sleep. I forgot to account for
this in the driver, so if a station went to sleep
that had aggregation enabled, traffic would stop
indefinitely.
Fix this by only accounting frames queued on the
normal AC queues for associated station.

Through races, a packet may be enqueued for
transmission to a station while that station
is going to sleep, in which case the warning
here triggers. Instead of warning, check the
condition -- if this packet is not a PS-poll
response then we still enqueue it but it will
be rejected by the device since the station
is marked as asleep.
