This is, of course, because the value of WIFI_IF_NTFY_MAX is 0xff and

This patch implement basic infrastructure to support use of NAPI by
mac80211-based hardware drivers.

Because mac80211 devices can support multiple netdevs, a dummy netdev
is used for interfacing with the NAPI code in the core of the network
stack.  That structure is hidden from the hardware drivers, but the
actual napi_struct is exposed in the ieee80211_hw structure so that the
poll routines in drivers can retrieve that structure.  Hardware drivers
can also specify their own weight value for NAPI polling.

Fix this leftover TODO from the cfg80211 conversion by doing a scan
if cfg80211 didn't pass in the BSSID for us.  Since the scan code
uses so much of the cfg80211_scan_request structure to build up the
firmware command, we just fake one when the scan request is triggered
internally.  But we need to make sure that internal 'fake' cfg82011
scan request does not get back to cfg82011 via cfg80211_scan_done().

ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess nulls rxs and the mactime is never set again -
mactime is always 0. This causes problems in IBSS mode.

ieee80211_rx_bss_info uses mactime to decide if an IBSS merge is needed.
Without this patch the merge is triggered by each beacon received.

This can be recognized by the "beacon TSF higher than local TSF - IBSS
merge with BSSID" log message accompanying each beacon.

I noticed a possible issue in the paused flag management of the
ath_atx_tid data structure. In particular, in a noisy environment and
under heavy load, I observed that the AGGR session establishment could
fail several times consecutively causing values of the paused flag
greater than one for this TID (ath_tx_pause_tid is called more than
once from ath_tx_aggr_start).

Considering that the session for this TID can not be established also
after the mac80211 stack calls the ieee80211_agg_tx_operational() since
the ath_tx_aggr_resume() lowers the paused flag only by one.

This patch also replaces some BUG_ON calls with WARN_ON, as even if
these unlikely conditions happen, it's not fatal enough to justify a
BUG_ON.

AR9003 was not relying on the CTL indexes from the EEPROM for capping the
max output power. The CTL indexes from the EEPROM provide calibrated
limits for output power for each tested and supported frequency. Without
this the device operates at a power level which only conforms to the
transmit spectrum mask as specified by IEEE Annex I.2.3.

The regulatory limit by CRDA is always used but does not provide
calibrated values for optimal performance, specially on band edges.
Using the calibrated data from the EEPROM ensures the device
operates at optimal output power while still ensuring proper
regulatory compliance. The device uses the minimum of these tree
values, the value from CRDA, the calibrated value from CTL indexex,
and the value to conform to the IEEE transmit spectrum mask.

On AR5008-AR9002, other forms of calibration must not be started while
the noise floor calibration is running, as this can create invalid
readings which were sometimes not even recoverable by any further
calibration attempts.

This patch also ensures that the result of noise floor measurements
are processed faster and also allows the result of the initial
calibration on reset to make it into the NF history buffer
Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>

The noise floor history buffer is currently not kept per channel, which
can lead to problems when changing channels from a clean channel to a
noisy one. Also when switching from HT20 to HT40, the noise floor
history buffer is full of measurements, but none of them contain data
for the extension channel, which it needs quite a bit of time to recover
from.

This patch puts all the per-channel calibration data into a single data
structure, and gives the the driver control over whether that is used
per-channel or even not used for some channels.

For ath9k_htc, I decided to keep this per-channel in order to avoid
creating regressions.

For ath9k, the data is kept only for the operating channel, which saves
some space. ath9k_hw takes care of wiping old data when the operating
channel or its channel flags change.

Previously the software scan callback was used to indicate to the hardware,
when it was safe to calibrate. This didn't really work properly, because it
depends on a specific order of software scan callbacks vs. channel changes.
Also, software scans are not the only thing that triggers off-channel
activity, so it's better to use the newly added indication from mac80211 for
this and not use the software scan callback for anything calibration related.

This fixes at least some of the invalid noise floor readings that I've seen
in AP mode on AR9160
