d4c04ba141 ath9k: Fix TX poll work locking
There is no need to call ath_txq_unlock_complete() in the
TX poll routine - frame completion is not done here,
so use ath_txq_unlock().

The check "enable_ani" is not required since it is always

cf657a2bc5 ath9k: Remove MAC_DEBUG
This option has not been enabled by default in any
distribution, has never been enabled in OpenWrt and no developer
has asked for this information in a bug report.

Dumping pages of random values doesn't help debugging,
remove this option (along with the vmalloc() abuse).

01d4ab96d2 ath9k: limit tx path hang check to normal data queues
The beacon and multicast-buffer queues are managed by the beacon
tasklet, and the generic tx path hang check does not help in any way
here. Running it on those queues anyway can introduce some race
conditions leading to unnecessary chip resets.

78ef731ce5 ath9k: Fix the 'xmit' debugfs file
The 'xmit' debugfs file has become big and unwieldy, fix
multiple issues with its usage:

* Store TX counters/statistics only for the 4 Access Categories.
  Use IEEE80211_NUM_ACS instead of ATH9K_NUM_TX_QUEUES.

* Move various utility macros to debug.h, they can be reused
  elsewhere.

* Remove tx_complete_poll_work_seen.

* Remove code that accesses various internal queue-specific
  variables without any locking whatsoever. HW/SW queue details
  will be handled in a subsequent patch.

* Do not print internal values like txq_headidx and txq_headidx.
  They were mostly unused anyway, considering code like:
  PRX("txq_tailidx:     ", txq_headidx);

* Handle 'txprocdesc' for EDMA too.

424749c75d ath9k: perform ANI cycle in idle state
As of now the ANI cycle is executed only when the chip is awake.
On idle state case, the station wakes up from network sleep for
beacon reception. Since most of the time, ANI cycle is not syncing
with beacon wakeup, ANI cycle is ignored. Approx 5 mins once, the
calibration is performed. This could affect the connection stability
when the station is idle for long. Even though the OFDM and CCK phy
error rates are too high, ANI is unable to tune its immunity level
as quick enough due to rare execution.

Here the experiment shows that OFDM and CCK levels are at default
even on higher phy error rate.

listenTime=44 OFDM:3 errs=121977/s CCK:2 errs=440818/s ofdm_turn=1

This change ensures that ANI calibration will be exectued atleast
once for every 10 seconds. The below result shows improvements and
immunity levels are adopted quick enough.

listenTime=557 OFDM:4 errs=752/s CCK:4 errs=125/s ofdm_turn=0

74673db99c ath9k: make PA linearization optional, disabled by default and fix checks
Some checks for PA linearization support checked ATH9K_HW_CAP_PAPRD and some
used the EEPROM ops, leading to issues in tx power handling, since those
two can be out of sync.

Disable the feature by default, since it has been reported that it can
cause damage to the rx path under some circumstances. It can now be enabled
for testing via debugfs.

51dea9be7e ath9k: fix PA linearization calibration related crash
Before PAPRD training can run, the card needs to have sent a packet for
thermal calibration. Sending a dummy packet with the PAPRD training flag
set causes a crash under some circumstance.
Fix the code by replacing the dummy tx with a delay that waits for a
real packet tx to have occurred.

124b979bae ath9k: Fix race in reset-work usage
Using work_pending() to defer certain operations when
a HW-reset work has been queued is racy since the check
would return false when the work item is actually in

Also, unify the reset debug statistics maintenance.

5039f38e16 ath9k: do not sampling on ani timer when chip is in sleep
The baseband and cycle counters are being sampled during ani
processing for debugging purpose. Whenever the ani is postponded
due to sleep state, taking samples on that time is of no use and
also unneccesarily waking up the chip might increase the power
consumption on idle associated state. Hence moving debug function
within powersave block.

ensure that the PLL-WAR for AR9485/AR9340 is executed only if the STA is
associated (or) IBSS/AP mode had started beaconing. Ideally this WAR
is needed to recover from some rare beacon stuck during stress testing.
Before the STA is associated/IBSS had started beaconing, PLL4(0x1618c)
always seem to have zero even though we had configured PLL3(0x16188) to
query about PLL's locking status. When we keep on polling infinitely PLL4's
8th bit(ie check for PLL locking measurements is done), machine hangs
due to softlockup.
