Felix Fietkau 292121dce2 ath9k: remove a bogus WARN_ON
On embedded hardware it's normal to not have a PCI device for the PCI
bridge that the wifi card is attached to. pdev->bus->self will be
NULL in that case. In that case, simply return without emitting an
useless kernel stack trace.

Stanislaw Gruszka 69ce674bfa ath9k: do btcoex ASPM disabling at initialization time
Disable ASPM in pci ->probe on upstream (device) and downstream
(PCIe port) component. According to e1000e driver authors this is
required. I did not find that requirement in PCIe spec, but it seems
to be logical for me.

This need to be fixed for CONFIG_PCIEASPM, that will be done later ...

Stanislaw Gruszka d4930086bd ath9k: skip ->config_pci_powersave() if PCIe port has ASPM disabled
We receive many bug reports about system hang during suspend/resume
when ath9k driver is in use. Adrian Chadd remarked that this problem
happens on systems that have ASPM disabled.

To do not hit the bug, skip doing ->config_pci_powersave magic if PCIe
downstream port device, which ath9k device is connected to, has ASPM
disabled.

Bug was introduced by:

commit 53bc7aa08b
Author: Vivek Natarajan <vnatarajan@atheros.com>
Date:   Mon Apr 5 14:48:04 2010 +0530

    ath9k: Add support for newer AR9285 chipsets.

Patch should address:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37462
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37082
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697157

however I did not receive confirmation about that, except from Camilo
Mesias, whose system stops hang regularly with this patch (but still
hangs from time to time, but this is probably some other bug).

Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan db7ec38d8e ath9k: Reset keycache on resume
It looks like some hardware registers are left into undefined state
after suspend/resume. At minimum, this can cause odd issues related to
key cache and hardware trying to encrypt/decrypt frames unexpectedly.
This seems to happen even when there is no keys configured, i.e., hardware
can end up touching TX frames just based of invalid key cache context
even if the driver is not asking a specific entry to be used. In
addition, RX can likely be affected. This patch fixes this issue.

Luis R. Rodriguez afe68d0a8f ath9k: fix aphy / wiphy idle mismatch
ath9k supports its own set of virtual wiphys, and it uses
the mac80211 idle notifications to know when a device needs
to be idle or not. We recently changed ath9k to force idle
on driver stop() and on resume but forgot to take into account
ath9k's own virtual wiphy idle states. These are used internally
by ath9k to check if the device's radio should be powered down
on each idle call. Without this change its possible that the
device could have been forced off but the virtual wiphy idle
was left on.

Luis R. Rodriguez a08e7ade9d ath9k: fix assumptions for idle calls on suspend/resume
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.

We disable ASPM when enabling bluetooth coexistance. Disabling
ASPM is a bus specific operation. In the future other buses may

move the current routine which disables ASPM into pci.c, and declare
it the PCI bt_coex_prep() helper. Additionally, since ASPM is
a PCI-Express primitive ensure we don't ever try to muck with ASPM
registers on non PCI-express devices.

This also cleans up hw.c to not include bus specific headers or
utilities.

Luis R. Rodriguez db6be53cba ath9k: propagate ieee80211_alloc_hw() failure
The -ENOMEM was never being passed on failure.
While at it use dev_err() as ahb does upon failure.

Luis R. Rodriguez 1e40bcfa91 ath9k: distinguish between device initialization and ath_softc init
We re-label the device driver initialization routines from the
ath_softc, the "Software Carrier" fillers. This should make it
clearer what each of these do.

Jouni Malinen f0214843ba ath9k: Fix PCI FATAL interrupts by restoring RETRY_TIMEOUT disabling
An earlier commit, 'ath9k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix', removed
code that was documented to disable RETRY_TIMEOUT register (PCI reg
0x41) since it was claimed to be a no-op. However, it turns out that
there are some combinations of hosts and ath9k-supported cards for
which this is not a no-op (reg 0x41 has value 0x80, not 0) and this
code (or something similar) is needed. In such cases, the driver may
be next to unusable due to very frequent PCI FATAL interrupts from the
card.

Reverting the earlier commit, i.e., restoring the RETRY_TIMEOUT
disabling, seems to resolve the issue. Since the removal of this code
was not based on any known issue and was purely a cleanup change, the
safest option here is to just revert that commit. Should there be
desire to clean this up in the future, the change will need to be
tested with a more complete coverage of cards and host systems.

Johannes Berg 19d337dff9 rfkill: rewrite
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:

 * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
   rather than having one central implementation

 * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
   contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
   lots of code

 * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
   internally -- the core should do this

 * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
   asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister

 * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
   driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
   should be avoided

 * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module

 * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
   depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
   that do nothing if it isn't compiled in

 * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
   it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
   force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()

 * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
   reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS

 * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
   operations in locked sections

 * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
   changes -- this wasn't done before
