* Always free tx buffers before reset, since we also empty hw queues.
If we don't and a queue gets stuck, we'll never decrease txq_len and sw
will keep thinking the queue is still stuck even after reset.

If the nullfunc frame used to probe the AP was not acked, there is no point
in waiting for the probe timeout, so advance to the next try (or disconnect)
immediately.
If we do reach the probe timeout without having received a tx status, the
connection is probably really bad and worth disconnecting.

Using bitshifts instead of division and multiplication should improve

The last_tx_rate field was also updated for non-data frames that are
often sent with a lower rate (for example management frames at 1 Mbps).
This is confusing when the data rate is actually much higher.
Hence, only update the last_tx_rate field with tx rate information
gathered from last data frames.
If the rate control algorithm filled in txrc.reported_rate we don't need
to verify this information.

Parsing data using bitfields is messy, because it makes endian handling
much harder. AR9002 and earlier got it right, AR9003 got it wrong.
This might lead to either using too high or too low tx power values,
depending on frequency and eeprom settings.
Fix it by getting rid of the CTL related bitfields entirely and use
masks instead.
