c85251f856 ath6kl: fix fw capability parsing
This patch fixes a bug where no capabilites are parsed when the number
of firmware capability bits translate into fewer bytes than the host has
knowledge of. Instead just process number of capability bytes as
reported by the firmware.

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.

6ddcd46463 mwifiex: fix incorrect privacy setting in beacon and probe response
Test procedure:
1. Start AP with security setting (e.g. WPA2)
2. Stop AP
3. Start AP with open security

Here it's observed that privacy is enabled in beacons and
probe responses.

This patch fixes it by checking the privacy parameter from
cfg80211_ap_settings. If privacy is not set in cfg80211_ap_settings,
set open authentication and no encryption in FW.

cba63e99e5 ath9k_hw: Initvals update for AR9462
MSI is enabled by default for most of the 4th generation
chips. Add this for AR9462 - this fixes PowerSave operation,
the chip was not entering Network-Sleep mode earlier.
With proper powering down of the MAC now, power consumption
in associated state is reduced considerably.

658f37b736 mwifiex: scan less channels per scan command to improve Tx traffic
Currently 4 channels are scanned per scan command. if scan request
is issued by user during Tx traffic, radio will be out of channel
for "4 * per_chan_scan_time" for each scan command and will not be
able to receive Rx packets. This adds delay in data traffic. We can
minimize it by reducing number of channels scanned per scan command
in this scenario.

We can not always scan 1 channel per scan command due to limitation
of number of command buffers. So we add code to decide number of
channels scanned per scan command in associated state.

3249ba7376 mwifiex: fix simultaneous scan and Tx traffic problem
If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running,
driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic
there is a delay for Tx packets.

This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority
in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan
commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will
make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan
command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by
20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or
timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will
be aborted.
