Restricting the chainmask to 1 for legacy mode disables useful features
such as MRC, and it reduces the available transmit power.
I can't think of a good reason to do this in legacy mode, so let's just
get rid of that code.

The commit 'ath9k_hw: Disable PAPRD for rates with low Tx power' changed
the code that sets the PAPRD rate masks to use only either the HT20 mask
or the HT40 mask. This is wrong, as the hardware can still use HT20 rates
even when configured for HT40, and the operating channel mode does not
affect PAPRD operation.
The register for the HT40 rate mask is applied as a mask on top of the
other registers to selectively disable PAPRD for specific rates on HT40
packets only.
This patch changes the code back to the old behavior which matches the
intended use of these registers. While with current cards this should not
make any practical difference (according to Atheros, the HT20 and HT40
mask should always be equal), it is more correct that way, and maybe
the HT40 mask will be used for some rare corner cases in the future.

When an skb is shared, it needs to be duplicated, along with its data buffer.
If the skb does not have enough headroom, using skb_copy might cause the data
buffer to be copied twice (once by skb_copy and once by pskb_expand_head).
Fix this by using skb_clone initially and letting ieee80211_skb_resize sort
out the rest.

When rfkill is enabled, ath9k_hw unnecessarily configured the baseband to
turn off based on GPIO input, however that code was hardcoded to GPIO 0
instead of ah->rfkill_gpio.
Since ath9k uses software rfkill anyway, this code is completely unnecessary
and should be removed in case anything else ever uses GPIO 0.

To improve aggregation length, there should not be more than two fully formed
A-MPDU frames in the hardware queue. To ensure this, the code checks the tx
queue length before forming new A-MPDUs. This can reduce the throughput (or
maybe even starve out A-MPDU traffic) when too many non-aggregated frames are
in the queue.
Fix this by keeping track of pending A-MPDU frames (even when they're sent out
as single frames), but exclude rate control probing frames to improve
performance.

The Mesh Control header only includes 0, 1 or 2 addresses. If there is
one address, it should be interpreted as Address 4. If there are 2,
they are interpreted as Addresses 5 and 6 (Address 4 being the 4th
address in the 802.11 header).
The address extension used to hold up to 3 addresses instead of the current 2.
I'm not sure which draft version changed this, but it is very unlikely that it
will change again given the state of the approval process of this draft. See
section 7.1.3.6.3 in current draft (8.0).
Also, note that the extra address that I'm removing was not being used, so this
change has no effect on over-the-air frame formats. But I thought I better
remove it before someone does start using it.

Its possible for the call to read rx timeout from the hardware to fail,
in which case we end up with a bogus rx timeout value. Set a default one
when filling in the rc struct, and we'll just overwrite it later w/the
value from hardware, but if that read fails, we've at least got a sane
rx timeout value to work with (1000ms is the default value I've seen
returned on most if not all mceusb hardware).

As it turns out, somewhere along the way, we managed to invert the
meaning of the tx_mask_inverted flag. Looking back over the old lirc
driver, tx_mask_inverted was set to 0 if the device was in tx_mask_list.
Now we have a tx_mask_inverted flag set to 1 for all the devices that
were in the list, and set tx_mask_inverted to that flag value, which is
actually the opposite of what we used to set, causing set_tx_mask to use
the wrong mask setting option. Since there seem to be more devices with
inverted masks than not (using the original device as the baseline for
inverted vs. normal), lets just call the ones currently marked as
inverted normal instead, and flip the if/else actions that key off of
the inverted flag.
Note: the problem only cropped up if a call to set_tx_mask was made, if
no mask was set, the device would work just fine, which is why this
managed to slip though w/o getting noticed until now.
Tested successfully by myself and Dennis Gilmore.

This makes several changes but they're in one function and sort of
related:
"buf" was leaked on error. The leak if we try to read an invalid
length is the main concern because it could be triggered over and
over.
If the copy_to_user() failed, then the original code returned the
number of bytes remaining. read() is supposed to be the opposite way,
where we return the number of bytes copied. I changed it to just return
-EFAULT on errors.
Also I changed the debug output from "-EFAULT" to just "<fail>" because
it isn't -EFAULT necessarily. And since we go though that path if the
length is invalid now, there was another debug print that I removed.

When trying to create persistent device names for mceusb and streamzap
devices, I noticed that their respective drivers are not creating the rc
device as a child of the USB device. Rather it creates it as virtual
device. As a result, udev cannot use the USB device information to
create persistent device names for event and lirc devices associated
with the rc device. Not having persistent device names makes it more
difficult to make use of the devices in userspace as their names can
change.

There are cases where we get an ending space, and our trailing timeout
space then gets sent right after it, which breaks repeat, at least for

Something I failed to notice while testing the mceusb RLE buffer
decoding simplification patches was that we were getting an extra event
from the previously pressed key.
As was pointed out to me on irc by Maxim, this is actually due to using
ir_raw_event_store_with_filter without having set up a timeout value.
The hardware has a timeout value we're now reading and storing, which
properly enables the transition to idle in the raw event storage
process, and makes IR decode behave correctly w/o keybounce.
Also remove no-longer-used ir_raw_event struct from mceusb_dev struct
and add as-yet-unused enable flags for carrier reports and learning
mode, which I'll hopefully start wiring up sooner than later. While
looking into that, found evidence that 0x9f 0x15 responses are only
non-zero when the short-range learning sensor is used, so correct the
debug spew message, and then suppress it when using the standard
long-range sensor.
