The calibration data for devices w/o a separate
EEPROM chip can be specified via the 'eeprom_data'
field of 'ath9k_platform_data'. The 'eeprom_data'
is usually filled from board specific setup
functions. It is easy if the EEPROM data is mapped
to the memory, but it can be complicated if it is
stored elsewhere.
The patch adds support for loading of the EEPROM
data via the firmware API to avoid this limitation.

The 'ath9k_hw_nvram_read' function takes a
'struct ath_common *' as its first argument.
Almost each of its caller has a 'struct ath_hw *'
parameter in their argument list, and that is
dereferenced in order to get the 'struct ath_common'
pointer.
Change the first argument of 'ath9k_hw_nvram_read'
to be a 'struct ath_hw *', and remove the dereference
calls from the callers.
Also change the type of the first argument of the
ar9300_eeprom_read_{byte,word} functions.

While AR_PHY_CCA_NOM_VAL_* does contain the expected internal noise floor
for a chip measured in clean air, it refers to the lowest expected reading.
Depending on the frequency, this measurement can vary by about 6db, thus
causing a higher reported channel noise and signal strength.
Factor in the 6db offset when converting internal noisefloor to channel noise.
This patch makes the reported values more accurate for all chips without
affecting NF calibration behavior.

Putting a comment there is fine. Without the comment
it's easy for a human reader to get confused why the

There are 2 different things:
- sub-menu for "Atheros Wireless cards" family
- module ath.ko with common Atheros code
Until now, they both used to depend on the same Kconfig variable ATH_COMMON.
Thus, being "Atheros card" and "depending on ath.ko" was the same.
To allow module to belong to the
"Atheros Wireless cards" family but not use ath.ko,
2 conditions above need to be separated.
So, this patch introduce new Kconfig variable ATH_CARDS for belonging
to the "Atheros Wireless Cards" family; while ATH_COMMON becomes hidden
variable to express dependency on common Atheros code in ath.ko. Modules
that depend on this common code now express it by setting ATH_COMMON.
Right now, ath6kl do not depend on common code and thus do not set ATH_COMMON.

Change nl80211 to support specifying a VHT (or HT)
using the control channel frequency (as before) and
new attributes for the channel width and first and
second center frequency. The old channel type is of
course still supported for HT.
Also change the cfg80211 channel definition struct
to support these by adding the relevant fields to
it (and removing the _type field.)
This also adds new helper functions:
- cfg80211_chandef_create to create a channel def
struct given the control channel and channel type,
- cfg80211_chandef_identical to check if two channel
definitions are identical
- cfg80211_chandef_compatible to check if the given
channel definitions are compatible, and return the
wider of the two
This isn't entirely complete, but that doesn't matter
until we have a driver using it. In particular, it's
missing
- regulatory checks on the usable bandwidth (if that
even makes sense)
- regulatory TX power (database can't deal with it)
- a proper channel compatibility calculation for the
new channel types

Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type
to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel
definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just
the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this

Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so
that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the
new structure all the time, which will change.

As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the
only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel
with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it.
This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
right now.
Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
by removing the ability to use different channel types.
Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
we extend it again later (with the needed capability
flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.
