AHB bus support was added in v2.6.38, through commit a0b907ee2a
("ath5k: Add AHB bus support."). That code can only be build if the
Kconfig symbol ATHEROS_AR231X is set. But that symbol has never been
added to the tree. So AHB bus support has always been dead code.
Let's remove all code that depends on ATHEROS_AR231X. If that symbol
ever gets added to the tree the AHB bus support can be re-added too.

Ether_addr_equal_64bits is more efficient than ether_addr_equal, and can be

The regression was introduced in the following commit:
0967e01e8e
"ath5k: make use of the new rate control API"
ath5k_tx_frame_completed saves the intended per-rate retry counts before
they are cleared by ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status, however at this
point the information in info->status.rates is incomplete.
This causes significant throughput degradation and excessive packet loss
on links where high bit rates don't work properly.
Move the copy from bf->rates a few lines up to ensure that the saved
retry counts are updated, and that they are really cleared in
info->status.rates after the call to ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status.

Noise floor calibration does not interfere with traffic and should run more
often as part of our "short calibration". The full calibration is not the
noise floor calibration but the AGC + Gain_F (on RF5111 and RF5112) calibration
and should run less often because it does interfere with traffic.
So
Short calibration -> I/Q & NF Calibration
Long calibration -> Short + AGC + Gain_F
This patch was for some time on my pub/ dir on www.kernel.org and has been tested
by a few people and me. I think it's O.K. to go in.

Since card has 12 tx queues and we want to keep track of the interrupts
per queue we can't fit all these interrupt bits on a single register.
So we have 5 registers, the primary interrupt status register (PISR) and
the 4 secondary interupt status registers (SISRs).
In order to be able to read them all at once (atomic operation) Atheros
introduced the Read-And-Clear registers to make things easier. So when
reading RAC_PISR register, hw does a read on PISR and all SISRs, returns
the value of PISR, copies all SISR values to their shadow copies (RAC_SISRx)
and clears PISR and SISRs. This saves us from reading PISR/SISRs in a sequence.
So far we 've used this approach and MadWiFi/Windows driver etc also used it
for years.
It turns out this operation is not atomic after all (at least not on all cards)
That means it's possible to loose some interrupts because they came after the
copy step and hw cleared them on the clean step !
That's probably the reason we got missed beacons, got stuck queues etc and
couldn't figure out what was going on.
With this patch we switch from RaC operation to an alternative method (that
makes more sense IMHO anyway, I just chose to be on the safe side so far).
Instead of reading RAC registers, we read the normal PISR/SISR registers and
clear any bits we got by writing them back on the register. This will clear only
the bits we got on our read step and leave any new bits unaffected (at least
that's what docs say). So if any new interrupts come up we won't miss it.
I've tested this with an AR5213 and an AR2425 and it seems O.K.
Many thanks to Adrian Chadd for debuging this and reviewing the patch !
v2: Make sure we don't clear PISR bits that map to SISR generated interrupts

th5k_hw_setup_tx_queue() returns a valid offset into the ah->ah_txq[]
array. The ah->ah_txq[] and the ah->txqs[] array are the same size.
Both have AR5K_NUM_TX_QUEUES elements. So this error handling code
will never trigger.
Also it's wrong. The call to ath5k_hw_release_tx_queue() with a qnum
of AR5K_NUM_TX_QUEUES or more will just trigger a WARN_ON() and
return. Or if it missed the WARN_ON(), it would just corrupt some

This cleans up error handling for the beacon in case of dma mapping
failure. We need to free the skb when dma mapping fails instead of
nulling and leaking the pointer, and we should bail out to avoid
giving the hardware the bad descriptor.
Finally, we need to perform the null check after trying to update
the beacon, or else beacons will never be sent after a single
mapping failure.
