Without this you will get a panic if the device initialization
fails. Also, free ath_hw instance properly. ath9k_hw_deinit()

Noisefloor calibration involves querying hardware for samples
and storing this information on a history buffer in hardware for
actual noisefloor calibration processing in hardware. The history
buffer supports collecting information for all Atheros hardware,
one history buffer slot for each chain on each channel used for
MIMO operation. For current hardware this means one history
buffer slot for each chain on both the control (or primary) channel
and the extension (or secondary) channel. We know which noisefloor
registers to poke for collecting noisefloor data through the
chainmask.
For AR9285 and AR9271 devices, both 1x1, the chaimmask is defined as
0x9 = 0b0001001. The first four bits represent each chain out of
a maximum of 4 chains [0-3] on the primary channel. The last four
bits represent each chain on the extension channel. A chainmask
of 0x9 therefore indicates chain 1 is active on both the primary
and the extension channel.
AR9271 only requires collecting and storing noisefloor history buffer
data for the first chain on both the control and extension channel
(nfarray[0] and nfarray[3]) so fix the code and avoid which reads
and writes to the history buffer for the other chains.
Since the noisefloor varies depending on the number of chains your
device supports also initialize the noisefloor history buffer with
reasonable values seen on 1x1 devices such as AR9285.

Split the connectivity check and recovery routine into separated
functions based on the types
1. iwl_good_ack_health() - check for ack count
2. iwl_good_plcp_health() - check for plcp error
Based on the type of errors being detected, different recovery methods
will be used to bring the system back to normal operational state.
Because different NIC has different HW and uCode, the behavior is also
different; these functions thus now form part of the ops infrastructure,
so we can have more control on how to monitor and recover from error condition
case per device.

Monitors the tx statistics to detect the drop in throughput.
When the throughput drops, the ratio of the actual_ack_count and the
expected_ack_count also drops. At the same time, the aggregated
ba_timeout (the number of ba timeout retries) also rises. If the
actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count ratio is 0 and the number of ba
timeout retries rises to BA_TIMEOUT_MAX, no tx packets can be delivered.

mac80211 recently implemented two new callbacks that are used to request
station add/remove from the driver. The benefot from these new callbacks
are that they enable the driver to sleep while performing this work.
This is a big patch since a few things need to be coordinated in this move.
First we need to decouple station management from rate scaling, which
caused a lot of code to be moved and/or deleted. Next we needed to tie in
with mac80211's station management callback and let it direct our station
management as well as trigger the rate scaling initialization.
Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com>
Currently the broadcast station is added after every RXON command. Change
this to only add the broadcast station when interface is added by mac80211.
With this we need some extra work to ensure broadcast station is always
present since station table is cleared when RXON without ASSOC bit set is
sent. To deal with this we re-add all driver known stations to uCode after
such an RXON command is sent.
We also do some cleanup and remove the various calls to clear the station
table. We now only clear the station table in two scenarios:
- only clear uCode portion of station table when RXON command without ASSOC
bit is sent
- clear uCode and driver portion when interface goes down or is removed.
We need to do this clearing when interface goes down to deal with the
device restart/reconfigure routines which do not remove the interface, but
do add the interface during reconfiguration.
Previously the keys were also cleared when station table in driver is
cleared, this is not done anymore since mac80211 will take care that keys
are set and cleared correctly.
There is a known issue with this change. Associating with different AP
without bringing interface down fails with a firmware error. This is
because of the lack of full station notification support and the later
patches in this series that complete the station notification support will
fix this.

When I initially stumbled upon sequence number problems with PAE frames
in ath9k, I submitted a patch to remove all special cases for PAE
frames and let them go through the normal transmit path.
Out of concern about crypto incompatibility issues, this change was
merged instead:
commit 6c8afef551
Author: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com>
Date: Tue Feb 9 10:07:00 2010 +0530
ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames
After a lot of testing, I'm able to reliably trigger a driver crash on
rekeying with current versions with this change in place.
It seems that the driver does not support sending out regular MPDUs with
the same TID while an A-MPDU session is active.
This leads to duplicate entries in the TID Tx buffer, which hits the
following BUG_ON in ath_tx_addto_baw():
index = ATH_BA_INDEX(tid->seq_start, bf->bf_seqno);
cindex = (tid->baw_head + index) & (ATH_TID_MAX_BUFS - 1);
BUG_ON(tid->tx_buf[cindex] != NULL);
I believe until we actually have a reproducible case of an
incompatibility with another AP using no PAE special cases, we should
simply get rid of this mess.
This patch completely fixes my crash issues in STA mode and makes it
stay connected without throughput drops or connectivity issues even
when the AP is configured to a very short group rekey interval.

a set number of retries defined by AR5K_TUNE_HWTXTRIES. The set
number of tries is added to the tx_tries0 variable setup by the rate
