Descriptors are currently logged with ATH5K_DEBUG_RESET,
which isn't really apt, and also means we can't see just
the descriptor setup or just the resets. Add a new
debug level just for that.

snprintf() returns the number of characters that would have been written
(not counting the NUL character). So we can't use it as the limiter to
simple_read_from_buffer() without capping it first at sizeof(buf).

We currently trigger a reset via a tasklet when certain error
conditions are detected so that the card will (eventually)
restart. Unfortunately this makes locking complicated since
reset can also be called in process context (e.g. for channel
change). Currently nothing protects against concurrent resets,
which can be the source of corruption bugs.
Reset takes too long to spinlock the whole thing, so this
patch moves deferred resets into the mac80211 workqueue to
enable use of sc->lock mutex.

ath5k_hw_rx_error was only used once, where we could easily just use
ath5k_hw_rx_status as well, so remove it.

In the debug ouptut rx_status_0 was printed twice instead of rx_status_1. Also
make the debug message more clear.

Collect all pieces concering the antenna switch table into one function.
Previously it was split up between ath5k_hw_reset() and
ath5k_hw_commit_eeprom_settings().
Also we need to set the antenna switch table when ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode()
is called manually (by "iw phy0 antenna set", for example).
I'm not sure if we need to set the switchtable at the same place in
ath5k_hw_reset() as it was before - it is set later thru
ath5k_hw_set_antenna_mode() anyways - but i leave it there to avoid
problems(?).
Plus print switchtable registers in the debugfs file.

This is an Adaptive Noise Imunity (ANI) implementation for ath5k. I have looked
at both ath9k and HAL sources (they are nearly the same), and even though i
have implemented some things differently, the basic algorithm is practically
the same, for now. I hope that this can serve as a clean start to improve the
algorithm later.
This also adds a possibility to manually control ANI settings, right now only
thru a debugfs file:
* set lowest sensitivity (=highest noise immunity):
echo sens-low > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* set highest sensitivity (=lowest noise immunity):
echo sens-high > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* automatically control immunity (default):
echo ani-on > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* to see the parameters in use and watch them change:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
Manually setting sensitivity will turn the automatic control off. You can also
control each of the five immunity parameters (noise immunity, spur immunity,
firstep, ofdm weak signal detection, cck weak signal detection) manually thru
the debugfs file.
This is tested on AR5414 and nearly doubles the thruput in a noisy 2GHz band.

Update PHY error codes from the HAL, and keep them in statistics for debugging
via the 'frameerrors' file. This will also be used by ANI.

add a debugfs file to see different RX and TX errors as reported in our status
descriptors. this can help to diagnose driver problems.
statistics can be cleared by writing 'clear' into the frameerrors file.
example:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/frameerrors
RX
---------------------
CRC 27 (11%)
PHY 3 (1%)
FIFO 0 (0%)
decrypt 0 (0%)
MIC 0 (0%)
process 0 (0%)
jumbo 0 (0%)
[RX all 245]
TX
---------------------
retry 2 (9%)
FIFO 0 (0%)
filter 0 (0%)
[TX all 21]

keep statistics about which antenna was used for TX and RX. this is used only
for debugging right now, but might have other applications later.
add a new file 'antenna' in debugfs (/sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/antenna) to show
antenna use statistics and antenna diversity related register values. it can
also be used to set the antenna mode until we have proper support for that in
iw:
- echo diversity > antenna: use default antenna mode (RX and TX diversity)
- echo fixed-a > antenna: use fixed antenna A for RX and TX
- echo fixed-b > antenna: use fixed antenna B for RX and TX
- echo clear > antenna: reset antenna statistics

Don't allow users to open debugfs files, because it can cause oopses.
When a user opens some file, driver unlinks it and frees the
corresponding structure, we will dereference freed memory.
