To be able to measure the thermal values correctly for PAPRD, we need
to send training frames before setting up the gain table for the measurement,
and then again afterwards for the actual training.
For further improvement, send training frames at MCS0 instead of 54 MBit/s
legacy. That way we can use the No-ACK flag for the transmission, which
speeds up PAPRD training in general, as the hardware won't have to
retransmit and wait for ACK timeout (was previously set to 4 * 6
transmission attempts).

Testing shows that adjusting the slot time based on the coverage class
produces very high latencies and very low throughput on long distance links.
Adjusting only the ACK timeout and leaving the slot time at the regular
values - while technically not optimal for CSMA - works a lot better on
long links (tested with 10 km distance)

(u32) -1 is not particularly useful as a slottime default, so even though
the ath9k_hw default should never get used, it's better to pick something

AR9280 based hardware with 3 antennas and slow antenna diversity has
not been seen in the wild and ath9k does not support that form of
antenna diversity, so remove the EEPROM ops for it.
These EEPROM ops are currently only used for setting the
AR_PHY_SWITCH_COM register, which is being done in the EEPROM specific
file already.

('ath9k: more tx setup cleanups') merged tx path code for HT vs
non-HT frames, however it did not pass the tid pointer to
ath_tx_send_normal, causing an inconsistency between AMPDU vs
non-AMPDU sequence number handling.
Fix this by always passing in the tid pointer for all QoS data frames.

The registers TBTT_TIMER ,DMA_BEACON_ALERT ,NEXT_SWBA are need to be
configured only for AP and IBSS mode.
SWBA register is used for generating software interrupts so that beacon
frames will be created by the software.DMA beacon alert register is
to indicate the hardware to DMA the contents of beacon buffer to PCU buffer
and TBTT to start transmitting the packet buffer to the base band.
Clearly these things are not needed for station/monitor mode so
remove configuring them.

mac80211 will notify drivers when to go idle and ath9k
assumed that it would get further notifications for idle
states after a device stop() config call but as per agreed
semantics the idle state of the radio is left up to driver
after mac80211 issues the stop() callback. The driver is
resposnbile for ensuring the device remains idle after
that even between suspend / resume calls.
This fixes suspend/resume when you issue suspend and resume
twice on ath9k when ath9k_stop() was already called. We need
to put the radio to full sleep in order for resume to work
correctly.
What might seem fishy is we are turning the radio off
after resume. The reason why we do this is because we know
we should not have anything enabled after a mac80211 tells
us to stop(), if we resume and never get a start() we won't
get another stop() by mac80211 so to be safe always bring
the 802.11 device with the radio disabled after resume,
this ensures that if we suspend we already have the radio
disabled and only a start() will ever trigger it on.

Upon a failure we never call ath9k_ps_restore() on ath_radio_enable(),
this will throw off the sc->ps_usecount. When the sc->ps_usecount
is > 0 we never put the chip to full sleep. This drains battery,
and will also make the chip fail upon resume with:
ath: Starting driver with initial channel: 5745 MHz
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000
This would make the chip useless upon resume.
I cannot prove this can happen but in theory it is so best to
avoid this race completely and not have users complain about
a broken device after resume.

Suspend requires the device to be in fullsleep otherwise upon
resume the device becomes unresponsive. We need to ensure
that when we want the device to go to sleep it yields to

With the current save power save implementation we assume a dtim period
of 1.This value is assigned based on a sanity check in the driver
eventhough we had not parsed it from mac80211.This patch obtains the actual
DTIM period from AP by parsing it from mac80211.Yet for handling
multicast traffic we may still have it as fixed rather than parsing it
from mac80211 .This does not breaks power save or anything as the sleep
duration is currently fixed in the driver.This patch may serve to improve
power save in the future by using dtim period for sleep duration and using
correct dtim period adhoc mode.

ath.ko is a common module shared between ath5k, ar9170usb, ath9k and ath9k_htc.
Adding driver specific data to the shared structure would impact all the
drivers. Handling USB device recognition for devices specific to ath9k_htc
can be handled within the driver itself.
Also, AR7010 refers to the processor used in both AR9280/AR9287 based
devices. Rename the device enumerations accordingly.
While at it, check properly for the bus type when choosing the EEPROM
base address for UB95.
