The link_tuner() function will always call bbp_read()
at the start of the function. Because this is an
indirect register access has some costs attached
to it (especially for USB hardware).
We already store the value read from the register
into the vgc_level value inside the link structure.
Instead of reading from the register we can read that
field directly and base the tuner on that value.
This reduces the time the registers are locked with
the csr_mutex and speeds up the link_tuner processing.

When running modprobe rt73usb, and then rmmod rt73usb, and then
iwconfig, the wlan0 device does not disappear. When repeating this
process again, we get a kernel Oops errors and "BUG: unable to handle
kernel paging request..." message in the kernel log.
The reason for this is that there is an error in rt2x00rfkill_free(),
which is called in the process of removing the device
(rt2x00lib_remove_dev() in rt2x00dev.c).
rt2x00rfkill_free() clears the RFKILL_STATE_ALLOCATED bit , which is
bit number 1 () in rt2x00dev->flags instead of in
rt2x00dev->rfkill_state. As a result, when checking the
DEVICE_STATE_REGISTERED_HW bit (bit number 1 in rt2x00dev->flags) in
rt2x00lib_remove_hw() it is **unset**, and we wrongly **don't** call
ieee80211_unregister_hw().
This patch corrects this: the parameter for __test_and_clear_bit() in
rt2x00rfkill_free() should be &rt2x00dev->rfkill_state and not
&rt2x00dev->flags.

The TXD_W0_CIPHER field is a 1-bit field. It only acts as boolean value
to indicate if the frame must be encrypted or not.
The way rt2x00_set_field32() worked it would grab the least signifcant bit
from txdesc->cipher and use that as value. Because of that WEP 64 and TKIP
worked since they had odd-numbered values, while WEP 128 and AES were
even numbers and didn't work.
Correctly booleanize the txdecs->cipher value to allow the hardware to
encrypt the outgoing data. After this we can enable HW crypto by default again.

This patch reverts "ath9k: Fix TX status reporting for retries and MCS index"
because that change ended up breaking ath9k rate control. While the
MCS index reporting to mac80211 was indeed fixed by the patch, it did
not take into account that the ath9k rate control algorithm was
updating private tables based on this index and the index comes
through the rate control API call, i.e., based on mac80211 TX status
call. In addition, it looks like the "fix" to remove +1 from TX status
'count' field was not correct based on ieee80211_tx_status()
implementation that counts the total of count values, but starting
from -1, not 0.
The TX status reporting for frames using MCS needs to be fixed
somehow, but it does not look like there is any easy fix for the ath9k
rate control algorithm, so the best option now seems to be to revert the
change and bring it back once the rate control code is cleaned up to
handle this better.
