On lower WLAN signal strength, WLAN downlink traffic might suffer
from retransmissions. At the mean time, playing SCO/A2DP profiles
is affecting WLAN stability. In such scenario, by stomping SCO/A2DP
BT traffic completely for a BTCOEX period, gives WLAN traffic an
oppertunity to recover PHY rate. It also improves WLAN stability at
lower RSSI without sacificing BT traffic.

While resuming from S3, BT host issues HCI reset command and it
causes BT firmware to busy with security key calculation. At this
movement, WLAN detects MCI hardware error of MCI_CONT_INFO_TIMEOUT
and then it starts the recovery sequence repeatedly. Too many
recovery sequences would exhaust the BT kernel message pool. This
patch imposes a duration between consecutive BT recovery procedure.
Thus it solves BT firmware panic issue reported in AR9565.

The simulataneous transmission of both WLAN and BT might cause
increase in power levels. To avoid regulatory violation, WLAN tx
power will be adjusted according to BT power index based on avaliability
of BT scheduling messages. WLAN tx power reduction might affect its
performance. So WLAN tx power is only be lowered when the signal strength
is good enough. Otherwise concurrent tx will be disabled and WLAN uses
it default power levels. Also concurrent tx is disabled whenever WLAN is
moving to off-channel which might be used by BT.

This feature enables both WLAN and BT can transmit simultaneously
by setting WLAN and BT to equal priorities. Whenever both are
transmitting, it might violate regulatory power limits. To avoid
regulatory violation, WLAN tx power will be adjusted according to BT
power index based on avaliability of BT scheduling message. If the
combined power exceeds threshold, BT transmission will be held off.

The WLAN/BT weights have to set correctly before BTCOEX
is initialized. Currently, this is not done for all chips
in the AR9003 family. This patch fixes this issue by setting
the weights in the init path. While at it, rename ar9462_wlan_weights
to mci_wlan_weights since it is common to both AR9462 and AR9565.

When BT FTP/PAN transmits while WLAN is idle, the one of 9462 chain
often picks up BT's tx signal and starts receiving. If the current
weight is set to be higher than BT tx, BT tx will be aborted and this
also degrades BT performance. Hence lower WLAN rx priority in this
case only when there are no WLAN traffic.

AR9462 uses modified version of 3-Wire hw scheme for btcoex.
MCI itself is not a separate hw scheme but it aids to manage
multiple bt profiles. In ar9462, bt priority traffic is identified
by the number of bt profile types instead of gpio. So that this
patch removes MCI hw scheme.

Keep on btcoex.c only hardware access helpers, move the
driver core specific code to main.c. To accomplish
this we had to split ath_init_btcoex_info() into two parts,
the driver core part -- ath_init_btcoex_timer() and the hw
specific part -- ath9k_hw_init_btcoex_hw_info(). This
highlights how ath_gen_timer is part of the driver core, not
hw related, so stuff that into ath_btcoex struct.
The ath9k_hw_btcoex_init() code is now put inline on
ath_init_softc() through a switch to it easier to follow,
since we did that we can now call ath_tx_get_qnum() from
the main.c instead of btcoex.c
