This helper only clears the SC_OP_WAIT_FOR_{BEACON,CAB} flags.
Remove it and clear these flags directly in the approptiate
places instead.

All SC_OP_WAIT_* flags will be cleared in 'ath9k_conf' when PS mode
is disabled, so we don't have to clear it here.

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

If we are in PS mode, we have to process the received frame if
the SC_OP_WAIT_FOR_CAB bit is set.

Some APs seem to drift away from the expected TBTT (timestamp %
beacon_int_in_usec differs quite a bit from zero) which can result in
us waking up way too early to receive a Beacon frame. In order to work
around this, re-configure the Beacon timers after having received a
Beacon frame from the AP (i.e., when we know the offset between the
expected TBTT and the actual time the AP is sending out the Beacon
frame).

When using timeout=0 (PS-Poll) with mac80211, the driver will need to
wake up for TX requests and remain awake until the TX has been
completed (ACK received or timeout) or until the buffer frame(s) have
been received (in case the TX is for a PS-Poll frame).

We do not need to do this in ath_isr() and it looks like the modified
version ends up being more stable as far as being able receive beacon
frames is concerned. Furthermore, this reduces need to move between
AWAKE and NETWORK SLEEP states when processing some unrelated
interrupts.

The previous implementation was moving back to NETWORK SLEEP state
immediately after receiving a Beacon frame. This means that we are
unlikely to receive all the buffered broadcast/multicast frames that
would be sent after DTIM Beacon frames. Fix this by parsing the Beacon
frame and remaining awake, if needed, to receive the buffered
broadcast/multicast frames. The last buffered frame will trigger the
move back into NETWORK SLEEP state.
If the last broadcast/multicast frame is not received properly (or if
the AP fails to send it), the next Beacon frame will work as a backup
trigger for returning into NETWORK SLEEP.
A new debug type, PS (debug=0x800 module parameter), is added to make
it easier to debug potential power save issues in the
future. Currently, this is only used for the Beacon frame and buffered
broadcast/multicast receiving.

This makes use of the local fc variable in bit more places and uses a
common helper macro. The part of RX process that delivers skb's to
mac80211 is moved to a separate function in preparation for future
changes that will need to do this from two places. The modifications
here should not result in any functional changes.
