The EEPROM contains scale factors for the tx power, which define the range of allowable difference between target power and training power. If the difference is too big, PA predistortion cannot be used. For 2.4 GHz there is only one scale factor, for 5 GHz there are three, depending on the specific frequency range.

The EEPROM PAPRD rate mask fields only contain mask values for actual rates in the low 25 bits. The upper bits are reserved for tx power scale values. Add the proper mask definitions and use them before writing the values to the register. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

To be able to measure the thermal values correctly for PAPRD, we need to send training frames before setting up the gain table for the measurement, and then again afterwards for the actual training. For further improvement, send training frames at MCS0 instead of 54 MBit/s legacy. That way we can use the No-ACK flag for the transmission, which speeds up PAPRD training in general, as the hardware won't have to retransmit and wait for ACK timeout (was previously set to 4 * 6 transmission attempts).

Testing shows that adjusting the slot time based on the coverage class produces very high latencies and very low throughput on long distance links. Adjusting only the ACK timeout and leaving the slot time at the regular values - while technically not optimal for CSMA - works a lot better on long links (tested with 10 km distance) Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

AR9280 based hardware with 3 antennas and slow antenna diversity has not been seen in the wild and ath9k does not support that form of antenna diversity, so remove the EEPROM ops for it. These EEPROM ops are currently only used for setting the AR_PHY_SWITCH_COM register, which is being done in the EEPROM specific file already.

wireless-testing commit 04caf863 ('ath9k: more tx setup cleanups') merged tx path code for HT vs non-HT frames, however it did not pass the tid pointer to ath_tx_send_normal, causing an inconsistency between AMPDU vs non-AMPDU sequence number handling.

The 802.11 spec states that the STA that generated the last Beacon frame shall be the STA that response to a probe request. This is important for congestion reduction when a probe request is received - only 1 node in an adhoc BSS will transmit a response. While mac80211 drivers should provide the tx_last_beacon function to report if they transmitted the last beacon many do not. As an attempt to reduce probe response congestion default this to 0 such that a node not implementing this capability does not contribute to unnecessary congestion. In a modern medium sized office environment I see upwards of 100 probe requests per second received at a given node from various hardware/OS/drivers doing zeroconf 'active probing' as opposed to passively listening for beacons. With a modest 10-node adhoc network consisting of drivers that do not implement this tx_last_beacon feature, I have seen this result in the simultaneous xmit of probe responses accumulating to 500 probe responses per second because of collisions which brings the adhoc network to its knees as well as causes needless congestion.

As discussed we do not know band width at core reset time and it is not a good idea to reset whole just to change band. So just set unconditionally 20 MHz band width as default during core reset. As for defines PHY clock changed to band width in specs and it makes much more sens to call defines by band width which is self-explainable. Updated specs do not mention 0 value, but comparing to old ones you can notice lineral relation between PHY clock speed and band width. So it makes sense for 0x0 value to be 10 MHz band width.

Johannes Berg authored
Allow userspace to specify that a given key is default only for unicast and/or multicast transmissions. Only WEP keys are for both, WPA/RSN keys set here are GTKs for multicast only. For more future flexibility, allow to specify all combiations. Wireless extensions can only set both so use nl80211; WEP keys (connect keys) must be set as default for both (but 802.1X WEP is still possible).

Using the default key for "any key set" isn't quite what we should do.

The registers TBTT_TIMER ,DMA_BEACON_ALERT ,NEXT_SWBA are need to be configured only for AP and IBSS mode. SWBA register is used for generating software interrupts so that beacon frames will be created by the software.DMA beacon alert register is to indicate the hardware to DMA the contents of beacon buffer to PCU buffer and TBTT to start transmitting the packet buffer to the base band. Clearly these things are not needed for station/monitor mode so remove configuring them.

When a cached BSS struct is updated because a new beacon was received, the code replaces the cached information elements by the IEs from the new beacon. However it did not update the pub.information_elements and pub.len_information_elements fields leaving them either pointing to the old beacon IEs or in an inconsistent state where the data is replaced by the new beacon IEs but len_information_elements still has its value from the first beacon. Fix this by updating the information elements fields if they are pointing to beacon IEs.

Add a field to wiphy for the hardware to report the availble antennas for configuration. Only if this is set to something bigger than zero, will the anntenna configuration ops be executed. Allthough this could be a simple number of antennas, I defined it as a bitmap of antennas which are available for configuration, since it's more consistent with the rest of the antenna API and there could be cases where the hardware allows only configuration of certain antennas. As it does not make much of a difference in size or normal usage, I think it's better to be able to support this, in case the need arises. The antenna configuration is now also checked against the availabe antennas and rejected if it does not match.

mac80211 will notify drivers when to go idle and ath9k assumed that it would get further notifications for idle states after a device stop() config call but as per agreed semantics the idle state of the radio is left up to driver after mac80211 issues the stop() callback. The driver is resposnbile for ensuring the device remains idle after that even between suspend / resume calls. This fixes suspend/resume when you issue suspend and resume twice on ath9k when ath9k_stop() was already called. We need to put the radio to full sleep in order for resume to work correctly. What might seem fishy is we are turning the radio off after resume. The reason why we do this is because we know we should not have anything enabled after a mac80211 tells us to stop(), if we resume and never get a start() we won't get another stop() by mac80211 so to be safe always bring the 802.11 device with the radio disabled after resume, this ensures that if we suspend we already have the radio disabled and only a start() will ever trigger it on.

Upon a failure we never call ath9k_ps_restore() on ath_radio_enable(), this will throw off the sc->ps_usecount. When the sc->ps_usecount is > 0 we never put the chip to full sleep. This drains battery, and will also make the chip fail upon resume with: ath: Starting driver with initial channel: 5745 MHz ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000 This would make the chip useless upon resume. I cannot prove this can happen but in theory it is so best to avoid this race completely and not have users complain about a broken device after resume.

Now ATH_DBG_WARN_ON_ONCE is used in the boolean expression in an if case and is not returning anything and causes a compile error.
