Commit 8bf3d79bc401ca417ccf9fc076d3295d1a71dbf5 enabled EEPROM
checksum checks to avoid bogus bug reports but failed to address
updating the code to consider devices with custom EEPROM sizes.
Devices with custom sized EEPROMs have the upper limit size stuffed
in the EEPROM. Use this as the upper limit instead of the static
default size. In case of a checksum error also provide back the
max size and whether or not this was the default size or a custom
one. If the EEPROM is busted we add a failsafe check to ensure
we don't loop forever or try to read bogus areas of hardware.
This closes bug 14874

The calibration period is now invoked by triggering a software
interrupt from within the ISR by ath5k_hw_calibration_poll()
instead of via a timer.
However, the calibration interval isn't initialized before
interrupts are enabled, so we can have a situation where an
interrupt occurs before the interval is assigned, so the
interval is actually negative. As a result, the ISR will
arm a software interrupt to schedule the tasklet, and then
rearm it when the SWI is processed, and so on, leading to a
softlockup at modprobe time.
Move the initialization order around so the calibration interval
is set before interrupts are active. Another possible fix
is to schedule the tasklet directly from the poll routine,
but I think there are additional plans for the SWI.

Without this we have no gaurantee of the integrity of the
EEPROM and are likely to encounter a lot of bogus bug reports
due to actual issues on the EEPROM. With the EEPROM checksum
check in place we can easily rule those issues out.
If you run patch during a revert *you* have a card with a busted
EEPROM and only older kernel will support that concoction. This
patch is a trade off between not accepitng bogus EEPROMs and
avoiding bogus bug reports allowing developers to focus instead
on real concrete issues.
If stable keeps bogus bug reports because of a possibly busted EEPROM
feel free to apply this there too.

As a holdover from earlier code when we used to set
the power limit to '0' after a reset to configure the
default transmit power, ath5k interprets txpower=0 as
12.5 dBm. Fix that by just passing 0 through.

We should not zero out the multicast hash when configuring
the operating mode, since a zero value means all multicast
frames will get dropped. Also, ath5k_mode_setup() gets

This updates ath5k to calibrate the noise floor similar to the
way it is done in the madwifi hal and ath9k. Of note:
- we start NF measurement at the same time as AGC calibration,
but do not actually read the value until the periodic (long)
calibration
- we keep a history of the last few values read and write the
median back to the hardware for CCA
- we do not complain if NF calibration isn't complete, instead
we keep the last read value.

Historically some macro helpers have been users for this,
AR5K_LOW_ID() and AR5K_HIGH_ID(), use upstream unaligned
helpers instead. This applid to ath5k and ar9170. ath9k
already uses this.
Worth noting is ath5k uses an ah_sta_id but that is already
the MAC address combined with the associaiton ID, ah_sta_id
is really ETH_ALEN in size.

The `val' variable in ath5k_eeprom_read_turbo_modes() is used
uninitialized. gcc 4.4.1 with -fno-inline-functions-called-once reports
it:
eeprom.c: In function 'ath5k_eeprom_read_turbo_modes':
eeprom.c:441: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function
Comparing the code to the Atheros HAL, it's clear that the split between
ath5k_eeprom_read_modes() and ath5k_eeprom_read_turbo_modes() was
incorrect.
The Atheros HAL reads both turbo and non-turbo data from EEPROM in one
function. Some turbo mode parameters are derived from the same EEPROM
values as non-turbo parameters, just from different bits.
Merge ath5k_eeprom_read_turbo_modes() into ath5k_eeprom_read_modes() to
fix the warning. The actual values and offsets have been cross-checked
against Atheros HAL.
