The commit "ath9k: fix rx flush handling" added a deadlock that happens
because ath_rx_tasklet is called in a section that has already taken the
rx buffer lock.
It seems that the only purpose of the rxbuflock was a band-aid fix to the
reset vs rx tasklet race, which has been properly fixed in the commit
"ath9k: add a better fix for the rx tasklet vs rx flush race".
Now that the fix is in, we can safely remove the lock to avoid such issues.

Right now the rx flush is not doing anything useful on AR9003+, as it only
works if the buffers in the rx FIFO have not been purged yet, as is done
by ath_stoprecv.
To fix this, always call ath_flushrecv from within ath_stoprecv before
the FIFO is emptied, but still after the hw receive path has been stopped.
This ensures that frames received (and ACKed by the hardware) shortly before
a reset will be seen by the software, which should improve A-MPDU session
stability.

Ensure that the rx tasklet is no longer running when entering the reset path.
Also remove the distinction between flush and no-flush frame processing.
If a frame has been received and ACKed by the hardware, the stack needs to see
it, so that the BA receive window does not go out of sync.

Adds the spectral scan feature for ath9k. AR92xx and AR93xx chips
are supported for now. The spectral scan is triggered by configuring
a mode through a debugfs control file. Samples can be gathered via
another relay debugfs file.
Essentially, to try it out:
echo chanscan > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl
iw dev wlan0 scan
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan0 > samples
echo disable > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/ath9k/spectral_scan_ctl
This feature is still experimental.
The special "chanscan" mode is used to perform spectral scan while
mac80211 is scanning for channels. To allow this,
sw_scan_start/complete() ops have been added.
The patch contains code snippets and information from Zefir Kurtisi and
information provided by Adrian Chadd and Felix Fietkau.

ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess() and ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess()
in a loop over the received frames. The decrypt_error flag is
initialized to false
just outside ath_rx_tasklet() loop. ath9k_rx_accept(), called by
ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess(),
only sets decrypt_error to true and never to false.
Then ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess() and passes
decrypt_error to it.
So, after a decryption error, in ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess(), we can
have a leftover value
from another processed frame. In that case, the frame will not be marked with
RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED even if it is decrypted correctly.
When using CCMP encryption this issue can lead to connection stuck
because of CCMP
PN corruption and a waste of CPU time since mac80211 tries to decrypt an already
deciphered frame with ieee80211_aes_ccm_decrypt.
Fix the issue initializing decrypt_error flag at the begging of the
ath_rx_tasklet() loop.

ath9k_hw: fix interpretation of the rx KeyMiss flag
This commit used the rx key miss indication to detect packets that were
passed from the hardware without being decrypted, however it seems that
this bit is not only undefined in the static WEP case, but also for
dynamically allocated WEP keys. This caused a regression when using
WEP-LEAP.
This patch fixes the regression by keeping track of which key indexes
refer to CCMP keys and only using the key miss indication for those.

The commit "ath9k_hw: Fix incorrect key_miss handling" changed the code
to only report key miss errors if a MIC error wasn't reported.
When checking the flags in that order in the MAC code, it might miss some
real events, because the value of the MIC error flag is undefined under
some conditions.
The primary issue addressed by the previous commit is making sure that
MIC errors are properly reported on the STA side. This can be fixed in
a better way by adding a separate rx status flag for key miss and
ignoring it for multicast frames.
This fix slightly improves stability in AP mode on some older hardware,
