Whenever WLAN receives scheduling msg from BT, it reduces tx power
based on RSSI level. And then BT starts simultaneous transmission
along with WLAN. Sometimes HW MAC compares tx power that is used
prior to power reduction which is causing BT transmission to defer.

This driver is for the AR5523 chipset from Atheros. It was created
in 2007 by Christoph Hellwig but it was never finished. I found it a
couple of months ago and after some polishing it's working pretty
fine.
The driver was written with the FreeBSD driver (uath) as reference,
which was written with the reverse-engineered windows driver as
reference, hence the feature set is very limited. Station mode
only, no HW crypto offload.

carl9170_handle_mpdu is the final part of the
rx path of the driver. It splits the raw data
streams from the device into skb packets and
passes them on to mac80211. As a result of
continuous updates, it grew over the years when
new code was added by the following commits:
- report A-MPDU status
- fix HT peer BA session corruption
- A-MPDU frame type filter
- ...
This patch splits the routine into two stages.
The first stage only deals with the details
about extracting and verifying the data from
the incoming stream. Whereas the second stage
packs it into skbs and passes it on to mac80211.

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.

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.

old pointer being dereferenced again later.

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.

This patch changes the way the driver deals with
command responses and traps which are sent through
the special interrupt input endpoint 3.
While the carl9170 firmware does not use this
endpoint for command responses or traps, the
firmware loader on the device does. It uses it
to notify the host about 'watchdog triggered'
in case the firmware/hardware has crashed.
Note:
Even without this patch, the driver is still
able to detect the mishap and reset the device.
But previously it did that because the trap
event caused an out-of-order message sequence
number error, which also triggered a reset.
