Felix Fietkau 435c1610f4 ath9k_hw: clean up register write buffering
Throughout the code, DISABLE_REGWRITE_BUFFER is always called right after
REGWRITE_BUFFER_FLUSH. Since that's unlikely to change any time soon, that
makes keeping those ops separate rather pointless, as it only increases
code size and line number counts.

Felix Fietkau 6497827f53 ath9k_hw: clean up calibration flags
The calibration actual calibration flags are only used by the per chip family
source files, so it makes more sense to define them in those files instead
of globally. That way the code has to test for less flags.

Also instead of using a separate callback for testing whether a particular
calibration type is supported, simply adjust ah->supp_cals in the calibration
init which is called right after the hardware reset, before any of the
calibrations are run.

Felix Fietkau 70cf15335e ath9k: use AP beacon miss as a trigger for fast recalibration
When beacons get stuck in AP mode, the most likely cause is interference.
Such interference can often go on for a while, and too many consecutive
beacon misses can lead to connected clients getting dropped.

Since connected clients might not be subjected to the same interference
if that happens to be very local, the AP should try to deal with it as
good as it can. One way to do this is to trigger an NF calibration with
automatic baseband update right after the beacon miss. In my tests with
very strong interference, this allowed the AP to continue transmitting
beacons after only 2-3 misses, which allows a normal client to stay
connected.

With some of the newer - really sensitive - chips, the maximum noise
floor limit is very low, which can be problematic during very strong
interference. To avoid an endless loop of stuck beacons -> nfcal ->
periodic calibration -> stuck beacons, the beacon miss event also sets
a flag, which allows the calibration code to bypass the chip specific
maximum NF value. This flag is automatically cleared, as soon as the
first NF median goes back below the limits for all chains.

In my tests, this allowed an ath9k AP to survive very strong interference
(measured NF: -68, or sometimes even higher) without losing connectivity
to its clients. Even under these conditions, I was able to transmit
several mbits/s through the interface.

Felix Fietkau 4254bc1c4d ath9k_hw: fix a noise floor calibration related race condition
On AR5008-AR9002, other forms of calibration must not be started while
the noise floor calibration is running, as this can create invalid
readings which were sometimes not even recoverable by any further
calibration attempts.

This patch also ensures that the result of noise floor measurements
are processed faster and also allows the result of the initial
calibration on reset to make it into the NF history buffer

Felix Fietkau 20bd2a0952 ath9k_hw: clean up per-channel calibration data
The noise floor history buffer is currently not kept per channel, which
can lead to problems when changing channels from a clean channel to a
noisy one. Also when switching from HT20 to HT40, the noise floor
history buffer is full of measurements, but none of them contain data
for the extension channel, which it needs quite a bit of time to recover
from.

This patch puts all the per-channel calibration data into a single data
structure, and gives the the driver control over whether that is used
per-channel or even not used for some channels.

For ath9k_htc, I decided to keep this per-channel in order to avoid
creating regressions.

For ath9k, the data is kept only for the operating channel, which saves
some space. ath9k_hw takes care of wiping old data when the operating
channel or its channel flags change.

Felix Fietkau 00c86590e3 ath9k_hw: clean up and fix initial noise floor calibration
On AR9003 the initial noise floor calibration is currently triggered
at the end of the reset without allowing the hardware to update the
baseband settings. This could potentially make scans in noisy
environments a bit more unreliable, so use the same calibration
sequence that is used on AR9002.

Felix Fietkau 487f0e010c ath9k_hw: simplify noisefloor calibration chainmask calculation
The noisefloor array index always corresponds to the rx chain number it
belongs to (with an offset of 3 for the extension chain).

It's much simpler (and actually more correct) to directly use the
chainmask to calculate the bitmask for the noisefloor array, instead of
using these weird chip revision checks and hardcoded mask values.

Felix Fietkau bbacee13f4 ath9k: merge noisefloor load implementations
AR5008+ and AR9003 currently use two separate implementations of the
ath9k_hw_loadnf function. There are three main differences:

 - PHY registers for AR9003 are different
 - AR9003 always uses 3 chains, earlier versions are more selective
 - The AR9003 variant contains a fix for NF load timeouts

This patch merges the two implementations into one, storing the
register array in the ath_hw struct. The fix for NF load timeouts is
not just relevant for AR9003, but also important for earlier hardware,
so it's better to just keep one common implementation.

Sujith 6398dc039d ath9k_hw: fix noisefloor history buffer usage on AR9271
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.
