a counter to check if the pending frame count has

dropped needlessly. While at it, use a simple flag

For all packets sent through the USB_WLAN_TX_PIPE endpoint,
the private area of the SKB's tx_info can be used to store
driver-specific information. For packets sent through USB_REG_OUT_PIPE,
this will not make a difference since they are routed through a
separate routine that doesn't access the private region.
This would help in situations where TX information is required
in the URB callback.

Use a queue to handle WMI events and schedule a tasklet
to process the events. This fixes the race between the
WMI event ISR and the SWBA tasklet when the arrival of
WMI events in quick succession could overwrite the SWBA
data before the tasklet from a previous iteration could
have been scheduled. Also, drain the WMI queue properly.

Currently ath9k only available in menuconfig if PCI bus
support is enabled. However the driver is required for
the built-in wireless MACs of the Atheros AR9130/AR9132
SoCs. These SoCs have no PCI controller, the wireless
MAC is connected to the AHB bus on them.
Introduce separated config options for the supported
buses, in order to allow building of ath9h without PCI
bus support.
As a bonus, this patch removes the cross-reference of
the ATHEROS_AR71XX option which is not present in the
kernel.

During normal operation, minstrel was showing suspicious EWMA probabilities
exceeding 100%. It looks like the tx status reporting in ath5k was not
properly clearing the rate index for rates which were never attempted.
This is caused by uninitialized stale data in the on-stack tx status
information, which is reused when more frames are received.
To fix this, rely on ts->ts_final_idx to select the last attempted rate,
instead of checking whether ts->ts_rate is set.
Additionally, the conversion from the driver rate index back to the
mac80211 rate index can be dropped, as the mac80211 tx status will still
have the original rate index which was used to set up the descriptor.
Additionally, one more inaccuracy was fixed - the final rate attempt
count only needs to be increased by one if the transmission attempt was
successful.
