Enable RTS frame retry fall-back and limit number of RTS retries to 7
what is default number of retries for small frames. As RTS/CTS is used
for TXOP protection, those settings prevent posting lots of RTS
frames when remote station do not response with CTS at the moment. After
sending 7 RTS's the HW will start back-off mechanism and after it will
start posing RTS again to get access to the medium.

We do not have option to set per frame retry count. We have only global
TX_RTY_CFG registers which specify the number or retries. Set setting
of that register to value that correspond rate control algorithm number
of frame post (number of retries + 1), which is 3 for aggregated frames.
This should help with big amount of retries on bad conditions, hence
mitigate buffer-bloat like problems.

When medium is busy or frames have to be resend, it takes time to send
the frames and get TX status from hardware. For some really bad medium
conditions it can take seconds. Patch change TX status timeout to give
HW more time to provide it, however 500ms is not enough for bad
conditions. In the future this timeout should be removed and replaced
with proper watchdog mechanism.
Increase flush timeout accordingly as well.

On rt2800usb, if we do not get TX status from HW, we assume frames were
posted and after entry->last_action timeout, we forcibly provide TX
status to mac80211. So it's not possible to detect hardware TX hung
based on the timeout. Additionally TXRQ_PCNT tells on number of frames
in the Packet Buffer (buffer between bus interface and chip MAC
subsystem), which can be non zero on normal conditions. To check HW hung
we will need provide some different mechanism, for now remove watchdog
as current implementation is wrong and not useful.

Our code was assigning number of channels to the index variable by
default. If firmware reported channel we didn't predict this would
result in using that initial index value and writing out of array. This
never happened so far (we got a complete list of supported channels) but
it means possible memory corruption so we should handle it anyway.
This patch simply detects unexpected channel and ignores it.
As we don't try to create new entry now, it's also safe to drop hw_value
and center_freq assignment. For known channels we have these set anyway.
I decided to fix this issue by assigning NULL or a target channel to the
channel variable. This was one of possible ways, I prefefred this one as
it also avoids using channel[index] over and over.

introduces a simple sdio card reset solution based on card remove and
re-probe. This solution has proved to be vulnerable, as card and
