All known ar7010+ar* device and current FW support STBC TX. This patch
make use of it and suggest to send STBC if peer support it.
I use wort "suggest" since currenly we have separate rate controller
in FW which will make decision based on rate and hardware.

The CAB (Content after Beacon) queue is used for beacon-triggered
transmission of buffered multicast frames. If lots of multicast frames
were buffered and this queue fills up, it drowns out all regular
traffic. To limit the damage that buffered traffic can do, try to limit
the queued data to becaon_interval / 8.

The commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
changed various ANI operational parameters to address a specific
card/environment. This is not really applicable for other cards
in general usage.
As per internal documentation, lowering the immunity level can be
done only after 5 periods have passed and the CCK/OFDM errors are
below the low watermak threshold - which have been fixed at 300 and
400 respectively by the sytems team.
Raising the immunity level can be done when CCK/OFDM errors exceed
600 and 1000 (per second).
Set these values once during attach.

An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191
Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can

Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.

If any bins from the training data are skipped (i != max_index), the
calculated compensation curve gets distorted, and the signal will be
wildly overamplified. This may be the cause of the reported hardware
damage that was caused by PA predistortion (because of which PAPRD was
disabled by default).
When calculating the x_est, Y, theta values, the use of max_index and i
was reversed. i points to the bin index whereas max_index refers to the
index of the calculated arrays.
Note that PA predistortion is still disabled, it will be re-enabled
after it has been properly validated.

Waiting for all subframes of an existing aggregation session to drain
before allowing mac80211 to start a new one is fragile and deadlocks
caused by this behavior have been observed.
Since mac80211 has proper synchronization for aggregation session
start/stop handling, a better approach to session handling is to simply
allow mac80211 to start a new session at any time. This requires
changing the code to discard any packets outside of the BlockAck window
in the A-MPDU software retry code.
This patch implements the above and also simplifies the code.
