Sujith 193cd4585e ath9k: Update INI release for AR9287
If the current channel is between 2412 and 2472 MHz and if the channel is
changing to 2484 MHz, then the registers 0xa1f4, 0xa1f8 and 0xa1fc need to be
programmed to the "japan_2484" values.  Conversely, if the current channel
is 2484 MHz and if the channel is changing to one between 2412 and 2472 MHz, then
the three registers need to be programmed to the "normal" values.

This is needed for compliance with Japanese regulatory requirements.

Johannes Berg 78f5fb7fc6 iwlwifi: support idle for 6000 series hw
Using powersave while idle saves a lot of power, but
we've had problems with this on some cards (5150 has
been reported to be problematic). However, on the new
6000 series we're seeing no problems, so for now let
that hardware benefit from idle mode, we can look at
the problems with other hardware one by one and then
enable those once we figure out the problems.

Johannes Berg 2b396a1209 iwlwifi: default to using all chains
When instructing the microcode to use just a single
chain when we have power saving enabled, we should
also tell the AP that we are doing SM powersave.
However, using a single chain doesn't actually have
any power saving advantage while idle -- measurements
show that the power consumption is no different when
using one vs. two or three chains.

Therefore, always instruct the microcode to use all
chains.

Wey-Yi Guy 02f5dac083 iwlwifi: add LED mode to support different LED behavior
Today's implementation allow LED to blink based on the traffic
condition. We introduce an additional LED mode that reflects the RF
state.

The supported LED modes after this are:
  IWL_LED_BLINK (current/default) - blink rate based on current Tx/Rx
                                    traffic
  IWL_LED_RF_STATE (new) -
    LED OFF: No power/RF disabled, the LED is emitting no light
    LED ON:  Powered/RF enabled, the LED is emitting light
             in a stable non-flashing state.

In order to provide the flexibility to support different LED
behavior per user/system preference we add "led_mode" iwlcore module
parameter.

Daniel C Halperin e3949d6286 iwlwifi: add aggregation tables to the rate scaling algorithm
Current rate scale algorithm fluctuates between different MIMO modes fairly
rapidly, causing widely varying performance. These fluctuations occur because in
the rate_scale tables for expected throughput the values are not very different
for different modes.

However, when aggregation is turned on and MAC overhead is reduced, the
expected throughput for different MIMO modes grows and different modes have
vastly different performance. Add expected throughput tables for this case.

We also need to keep track of aggregation status per-station, so we add the
"is_agg" field to struct lq_sta.

Also includes cleanup of comments and variable names in/around the affected
code.

Wey-Yi Guy 47eef9bd10 iwlwifi: Use RTS/CTS as the preferred protection mechanism for 6000 series
When 802.11g was introduced, we had RTS/CTS and CTS-to-Self protection
mechanisms. In an HT Beacon, HT stations use the "Operating Mode" field
in the HT Information Element to determine whether or not to use
protection.

The Operating Mode field has 4 possible settings: 0-3:
Mode 0: If all stations in the BSS are 20/40 MHz HT capable, or if the
BSS is 20/40 MHz capable, or if all stations in the BSS are 20 MHz HT
stations in a 20 MHz BSS
Mode 1: used if there are non-HT stations or APs using the primary or
secondary channels
Mode 2: if only HT stations are associated in the BSS and at least one
20 MHz HT station is associated.
Mode 3: used if one or more non-HT stations are associated in the BSS.

When in operating modes 1 or 3, and the Use_Protection field is 1 in the
Beacon's ERP IE, all HT transmissions must be protected using RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-Self.

By default, CTS-to-self is the preferred protection mechanism for less
overhead and higher throughput; but using the full RTS/CTS will better
protect the inner exchange from interference, especially in
highly-congested environment.

For 6000 series WIFI NIC, RTS/CTS protection mechanism is the
recommended choice for HT traffic based on the HW design.

Johannes Berg 02bb1bea85 iwlwifi: clarify and clean up chain settings
The chain settings we currently use in iwlwifi are
rather confusing -- and we also go by the wrong
settings entirely under certain circumstances. To
clean it up, create a new variable in the current
HT config -- single_chain_sufficient -- that tells
us whether we need more than one chain. Calculate
that based on the AP and operating mode (no IBSS
HT implemented -- so no need for multiple chains,
for station mode we use the AP's capabilities).

Additionally, since APs always send disabled SM PS
mode, keeping track of their sm_ps mode isn't very
useful -- doubly not so for our _own_ RX config
since that should depend on our, not the AP's, SM
PS mode.

Finally, document that our configuration of the
number of RX chains used is currently wrong when
in powersave (by adding a comment).

All together this removes the two remaining items
in struct iwl_ht_config that were done wrong there.

For the future, the number of RX chains and some
SM PS handshaking needs to be added to mac80211,
which then needs to tell us, and the new variable
current_ht_config.single_chain_sufficient should
also be calculated by mac80211.

Luis R. Rodriguez 9adca126db ath5k: allocate ath5k_hw prior to initializing hw
We can propagate better errors upon failed hw initialization,
and set up the ath_common structure for attach purposes. This
will become important once we start using the ath_common
for read/write ops.

Luis R. Rodriguez 9e4bffd233 atheros/ath9k: add common read/write ops and port ath9k to use it
In an effort to make hw code driver core agnostic read
and write operations are defined on the ath_common structure.
This patch adds that and makes ath9k use it. This allows
drivers like ath9k_htc to define its own read/write ops and
still rely on the same hw code. This also paves the way for
sharing code between ath9k/ath5k/ath9k_htc.
