Bob Copeland fd6effcaf8 ath5k: correct packet length in tx descriptors
Packet length calculation (which includes frame check sequence)
should take into account whether we add a pad field or not.
Extract the calculation into a helper and use it in both places.

Bob Copeland c793033945 ath5k: correct handling of rx status fields
ath5k_rx_status fields rs_antenna and rs_more are u8s, but we
were setting them with bitwise ANDs of 32-bit values.

As a consequence, jumbo frames would not be discarded as intended.
Then, because the hw rate value of such frames is zero, and, since
"ath5k: rates cleanup", we do not fall back to the basic rate, such
packets would trigger the following WARN_ON:

Felix Fietkau 2f7fe87034 ath5k: implement multi-rate retry support, fix tx status reporting
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

Nick Kossifidis c6e387a214 ath5k: HW code cleanup
* 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.
