Accessing the current channel definition in mac80211
when processing RX packets is problematic because it
could have been updated when a scan is issued. Since a
channel change involves flushing the existing packets
in the RX queue before a chip-reset is done, they would
be processed using the wrong band/channel information.
To avoid this, use the current channel information
maintained in the driver.

Ether_addr_equal_64bits is more efficient than ether_addr_equal, and can be
used when each argument is an array within a structure that contains at
least two bytes of data beyond the array.
The structures involved are:

ath_common defined in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath.h

This patch removes the convoluted and hacky method of

loss logic and doing it in the driver is not necessary.

TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF
exposure limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a
measure of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density
for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
governmental SAR regulations.
In the examples below, for more bit rate options see the iw TX bitrate
setting documentation:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw#Modifying_transmit_bitrates
Example usage:
iw phy phy0 interface add moni0 type monitor

If AR_CRCErr, AR_PHYErr, AR_DecryptCRCErr or AR_MichaelErr is indicated
in the rx status word, but AR_RxFrameOK is also set, the descriptor
contents are typically invalid. This can show up as a warning about
invalid MCS rates in a frame. Even with those checks in place, a
descriptor with invalid MCS rates can still sometimes make it through to
the driver (mostly on older hardware like AR91xx).
Detect such errors in the last descriptor of a frame and discard the
whole frame if present.

As the comment in ath_get_next_rx_buf indicates, if a descriptor with
the done bit set follows one with the done bit cleared, both descriptors
should be discarded, however the driver is not doing that yet.
To fix this, use the rs->rs_more flag as an indicator that the following
frame should be discarded. This also helps with the split buffer case:
if the first part of the frame is discarded, the following parts need to
be discarded as well, since they contain no valid header or usable data.

* notify DFS master on radar detection
