77565794eb ath6kl: Recover from "wmi ctrl ep is full" condition
In some error conditions, fw pauses HTC pipes which would
result in control endpoint full condition. When we hit this
case, most of the time the device will be unusable. Re-initialize
the target to recover from this situation.

9233299394 ath6kl: Add support to detect fw error through heart beat
This patch adds support to detect fw error condition by sending
periodic message (heart beat challenge) to firmware. Upon reception
of the message, fw would send a response event to driver. When
there are no reponses from fw for about 5 cmd driver would
trigger the recovery logic assuming that fw has gone into an
error state.

Capable fw will advertise this capability through
ATH6KL_FW_CAPABILITY_HEART_BEAT_POLL bit. This feature
is disabled by default, can be enabled through a modparam
(heart_beat_poll). This modparam also confiures the polling
interval in msecs.

84caf8005b ath6kl: Recover from fw crash
Re-initialize the target when fw crash is reported.
This would make the device functional again after
target crash. During the target re-initialization
it is made sure that target is not bugged with data/cmd
request, ar->state ATH6KL_STATE_RECOVERY is used
for this purpose.
