9a5b13182c ath6kl: Delay initial group key setup in AP mode
The target is not ready to accept addkey commands until the connect
event has been delivered, so delay these operations for the initial GTK.
In addition, properly set interface connected and mark netdev ready when

f7a7e7ae5d ath6kl: Avoid rolling back of entire scatter setup in case of failure
Current tx scatter gather implementation rolls back the entire

94e532d1a0 ath6kl: Fix system freeze under heavy data load
Patch "ath6kl: Fix buffer alignment for scatter-gather write" does
memmove for a length (scat_req->scat_list[i].len) which is not the
actual length of data that is suppossed to be moved. The right
lengh is packet->act_len + HTC_HDR_LENGTH. Using wrong length
for data move during buffer alignment causes system freeze after
the following WARN_ON and sometimes target assert.

44f1d26c16 ath9k: defer ath_tx_setup_buffer setup to the first tx attempt during aggr
With sequence number and buffer allocation deferred to when they're needed
for the first time, it becomes much easier to start dropping packets from
the tid queue if necessary, e.g. when latency suddenly increases. This can
lead to some future improvements in buffer management for better latency.

1a6e9d0f2e ath9k: Send legacy rated frames as unaggregated
Currently the aggregation is formed till the aggregation limit
is reached and the rate lookup is done for the first frame alone.
But there can be a legacy rated frames in tid queue. This patch
limits the subframe addition based on presence of legacy rate and
sends the legacy rated frames as unaggregated one.

8ad38d22dc ath9k_hw: Disable Walsh spatial spreading for 2 chains
The Walsh bit is disabled for regulatory consideration.

FCC limit for walsh enable is lower than that for walsh disable. So
disabling walsh bit will not limit tx power/affect tx power even in
cases where we are not FCC limited (most client cards). If the tx
power is not FCC limited, then enabling/disabling walsh bit will
not affect Avg. EVM/overall performance in any visible manner.

a35e278022 ath9k: Change rate control to use legacy rate as last MRR
In congested network, having all rate reties at MCS rates
is failing to transmit the frame offenly. By the time reaching
the success rate set, the application gets timed out. One such
scenario is that authentication time out during 4-Way handshake.
This patch uses a legacy rate as last retry sequnce for
unaggregated frames or if the first selected rate's PER is ~80%
of max limit. And also observed from the tx status that the frame
was trasmitted successfully by using legacy rates.
