Christian Lamparter 5a4f2040fd ath9k: add loader for AR92XX (and older) pci(e)
Atheros cards with a AR92XX generation (and older) chip usually
store their pci(e) initialization vectors on an external eeprom chip.
However these chips technically don't need the eeprom chip attached,
the AR9280 Datasheet in section "6.1.2 DEVICE_ID" describes that
"... if the EEPROM content is not valid, a value of 0xFF1C returns
when read from the register". So, they will show up on the system's
pci bus. However in that state, ath9k can't load, since it relies
on having the correct pci-id, otherwise it doesn't know what chip it
actually is. This happens on many embedded devices like routers
and accesspoint since they want to keep the BOM low and store the
pci(e) initialization vectors together with the calibration data
on the system's FLASH, which is out of reach of the ath9k chip.

Furthermore, Some devices (like the Cisco Meraki Z1 Cloud Managed
Teleworker Gateway) need to be able to initialize the PCIe wifi device.
Normally, this should be done as a pci quirk during the early stages of
booting linux. However, this isn't possible for devices which have the
init code for the Atheros chip stored on NAND in an UBI volume.
Hence, this module can be used to initialize the chip when the
user-space is ready to extract the init code.

Martin Blumenstingl prodived the following fixes:
owl-loader: add support for OWL emulation PCI devices
owl-loader: don't re-scan the bus when ath9k_pci_fixup failed
owl-loader: use dev_* instead of pr_* logging functions
owl-loader: auto-generate the eeprom filename as fallback
owl-loader: add a debug message when swapping the eeprom data
owl-loader: add missing newlines in log messages

of chipsets. For a specific list of supported external
cards, laptops that already ship with these cards and
APs that come with these cards refer to ath9k wiki
products page:

If you choose to build a module, it'll be called ath9k.

This option enables the PCI bus support in ath9k.
Say Y, if you have a compatible PCI/PCIe wireless card.

---help---
Say N. This should only be enabled on systems undergoing
certification testing and evaluation in a controlled environment.
Enabling this will only enable TX99 support, all other modes of
operation will be disabled.
TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure
limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure
of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for
transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
governmental SAR regulations.
config ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED
bool "Atheros DFS support for certified platforms"
depends on ATH9K && CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS
default n
---help---
This option enables DFS support for initiating radiation on
ath9k. There is no way to dynamically detect if a card was DFS
certified and as such this is left as a build time option. This
option should only be enabled by system integrators that can
guarantee that all the platforms that their kernel will run on
have obtained appropriate regulatory body certification for a
respective Atheros card by using ath9k on the target shipping
platforms.
This is currently only a placeholder for future DFS support,
as DFS support requires more components that still need to be
developed. At this point enabling this option won't do anything
except increase code size.
