Currently, setting only legacy bitrates on 2.4GHz band
are supported. Mode 802.11b/g/bg is enabled based on
bitrates selection. If only CCK bitrates selected then
802.11b mode is enabled. If only OFDM bitrates are
selected then 802.11g mode is enabled. For both: CCK
and OFDM rates 802.11bg mixed mode is enabled.

While 32 KHz sleep clock might provide some power saving benefits,
it is also a major source of stability issues, on OpenWrt it produced
some reproducible data bus errors on register accesses on several
different MIPS platforms.
All the Atheros drivers that I can find do not enable this feature,
so it makes sense to leave it disabled in ath5k as well.

Decryping frames on key_miss handling shouldn't be done for Michael
MIC failed frames as h/w would have already decrypted such frames
successfully anyway.
Also leaving CRC and PHY error(where the frame is going to be dropped
anyway), we are left to prcoess Decrypt error for which s/w decrypt is
selected anway and so having key_miss as a separate check doesn't serve
anything. So making key_miss handling mutually exlusive with other RX
status handling makes much more sense.
This patch addresses an issue with STA not reporting MIC failure events
resulting in STA being disconnected immediately.

When commands time out, corruption ensues. As lbs_complete_command()
is called without locking, the command node is mistakenly freed twice.
Also fixed up locking here in a few other places.
The nature of command timeout may be that the card didn't even
acknowledge receipt of the request. Detect this case and reset dnld_sent
so that other commands don't hang forever.
When cmdnodes are moved between the free list and the pending list,
their list heads should be reinitialized. Fixed this.
Sometimes commands are completed without actually submitting them or
removing them from cmdpendingq. We must remember to remove them from
cmdpendingq in these cases, so handle this in lbs_complete_command().
Harmless signals generated during suspend/resume were interrupting
lbs_cmd. Convert to an uninterruptible sleep to avoid this.
lbs_thread must be woken up every time there is some new work to do.
I found that when 2 commands are queued, ther completion of the first
command would not wake up lbs_thread to submit the second. Poke lbs_thread
at the end of lbs_complete_command() to fix this.

WiFi throughput drops drastically when BT is turned on, BT and WiFi
are simultaneously transmitting/receiving traffic. This is particularly true
when BT has higher priority over WiFi, and hence the device defers TX frames.
The AP assumes that the channel is bad and reduces the data rate, implying
longer airtime, which exacerbates the problem further, resulting ultimately
in what is popularly called the "death-spiral" phenomenon. The use of PS-poll
in such scenarios guarantees a low but consistent throughput.
Since the death-spiral phenomenon is observed only when the RSSI is low, use
PS-poll only when RSSI is low and disable when high, with a known hysterisis.
This feature specifies the high and low thresholds and implements the
callbacks registered with mac80211, which will be called when threshold events
occur.
