Clean up the tx status reporting, fix retry counters (short retries are
virtual collisions, not actual retries). Implement multi-rate retry
support.
This also fixes strong throughput fluctuations with rc80211_pid

* Update registers
* Update SREV values and add some PHY srevs
* Prepare ath5k.h for newer radios etc
Thanks to Atheros 's HAL source we now know for sure how many parts we have
and what their SREV values are. We also have some updates on registers. Prepare
ath5k for some major updates ;-)
My previous mail had 2 more patches following (git log misusage), sorry for double
posting ;-(

There's really no reason for mac80211 to be using its
own interface type defines. Use the nl80211 types and
simplify the configuration code a bit: there's no need
to translate them any more now.

* No code changes...
* Split hw.c to multiple files for better maintenance and add some documentation on each file
code is going to grow soon (eeprom.c for example is going to get much stuff currently developed
on ath_info) so it's better this way.
* Rename following functions to maintain naming scheme:
ah_setup_xtx_desc -> ah_setup_mrr_tx_desc
(Because xtx doesn't say much, it's actually
a multi-rate-retry tx descriptor)
ath5k_hw_put_tx/rx_buf - > ath5k_hw_set_tx/rxdp
ath5k_hw_get_tx/rx_buf -> ath5k_hw_get_tx/rxdp
(We don't put any "buf" we set descriptor pointers on hw)
ath5k_hw_tx_start -> ath5k_hw_start_tx_dma
ath5k_hw_start_rx -> ath5k_hw_start_rx_dma
ath5k_hw_stop_pcu_recv -> ath5k_hw_stop_rx_pcu
(It's easier this way to identify them, we also
have ath5k_hw_start_rx_pcu which completes the
set)
ath5k_hw_set_intr -> ath5k_hw_set_imr
(As in get_isr we set imr here, not "intr")
* Move ath5k_hw_setup_rx_desc on ah->ah_setup_rx_desc so we can
include support for different rx descriptors in the future
* Further cleanups so that checkpatch doesn't complain
(only some > 80 col warnings for eeprom.h and reg.h as usual
due to comments)
Tested on 5211 and 5213 cards and works ok.

cleanup the rates structures used by ath5k. instead of separate driver and
mac80211 rate structures we now setup a static ieee80211_rate array and use it
directly. no conversion between two different rate structures has to be done
any more. a lot of unused and confusing junk was deleted.
renamed ath5k_getchannels into ath5k_setup_bands because this is what it does.
rewrote it to copy the bitrates correctly for each band. this is necessary for
running different hardware with the same driver (e.g. 5211 and 5212 based
cards).
add special handling of rates for AR5211 chipsets: it uses different rate codes
for CCK rates (which are actually like the other chips but with a 0xF mask).
setup a hardware code to rate index reverse mapping table for getting the rate
index of received frames.
the rates for control frames which have to be set in
ath5k_hw_write_rate_duration are now in one single array.

move ath5k_tx_status and ath5k_rx_status structures out of the hardware
descriptor since they are not accessed by the hardware at all. they just
contain converted information from the hardware descriptor. since they are only
used in the rx and tx tasklets there is also no use to keep them for each
descriptor.

* make struct ath5k_desc clearer by directly including unions of structures,
which correspond to the hardware descriptors of different HW versions (5210
and 5212). before they were casted at onto ath5k_desc at different points
(e.g. ds_hw[2]).
* rename some structures and variable names to make their use clearer, e.g.
struct ath5k_hw_4w_tx_desc to ath5k_hw_4w_tx_ctl.
* substitute "old" with "5210" and "new" with "5212" (eg. rename
ath5k_hw_proc_new_rx_status() to ath5k_hw_proc_5212_rx_status()) because old
and new are relative and we might have a newer structure at some point.
* unify structs ath5k_hw_old_rx_status and ath5k_hw_new_rx_status into one
ath5k_hw_rx_status, because they only differ in the flags and masks.

Cleanup after API changes patch (checkpatch.pl stuff) and on
ath5k_hw_channel() make use of the existing ath5k_channel_ok()
instead of re-implementing the checks again. This was necessary
to make the code cleaner and fit the 80-chars wide limit so
sending it within the same patch.
Finally make a note that we *may* eventually move cap_range stuff
to struct wiphy (band frequency range capabilities). This
information can later be exported to userspace, for example,
and giving it access to mac80211 and drivers in general can come
in handy.

Also i figured out a way to process rate vallue found

closer (i think it improved stability a little).
