0f5cd45960 ath9k: Fix ath9k prevents CPU to enter C3 states
The DMA latency issue is observed only in Intel pinetrail platforms
but in the driver we had a default PM-QOS value of 55. This caused
unnecessary power consumption and battery drain in other platforms.

Remove the pm-qos thing in the driver code and address the throughput
issue in Intel pinetrail platfroms in user space using any one of
the scripts in below links:

c7c1806098 ath9k: Fix power save usage count imbalance on deinit
While unloading the driver, the ps_usecount is incremented
before configuring gpio registers in deinit_device.
But it is failed to restore the ps_usecount after that.
The problem is that the chip is forcibly moved to FULL SLEEP
by radio_disable when mac80211 is reporting as idle
though ps_usecount is not zero.

This patch retores ps_usecount properly and ensures that
the chip is always moved to full sleep only if ps usage
count is zero which also helps in debugging deadbeef on
multivif case. And also fixes the following warning.

ath: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0xdeadbeef AR_DIAG_SW=0xdeadbeef
ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we
start RX up

bd8027a72a Revert "ath9k: Parse DTIM period from mac80211"
This reverts commit 0ce3bcfc84.

Event though with the above commit we obtain the configured DTIM period
from the AP rather than always hardcoding it to '1', this seems to cause
problems under the following scenarios:
* Preventing association with broken AP's
* Adds latency in roaming
So its better to always use the safe value of '1' for dtim period

db7ec38d8e ath9k: Reset keycache on resume
It looks like some hardware registers are left into undefined state
after suspend/resume. At minimum, this can cause odd issues related to
key cache and hardware trying to encrypt/decrypt frames unexpectedly.
This seems to happen even when there is no keys configured, i.e., hardware
can end up touching TX frames just based of invalid key cache context
even if the driver is not asking a specific entry to be used. In
addition, RX can likely be affected. This patch fixes this issue.

module parameter.

0ce3bcfc84 ath9k: Parse DTIM period from mac80211
With the current save power save implementation we assume a dtim period
of 1.This value is assigned based on a sanity check in the driver
eventhough we had not parsed it from mac80211.This patch obtains the actual
DTIM period from AP by parsing it from mac80211.Yet for handling
multicast traffic we may still have it as fixed rather than parsing it
from mac80211 .This does not breaks power save or anything as the sleep
duration is currently fixed in the driver.This patch may serve to improve
power save in the future by using dtim period for sleep duration and using
correct dtim period adhoc mode.

066dae93bd ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix queue stopping/waking
The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.

The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).

This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.

To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).

It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).

To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.

The wireless mode bitfield was only used to detect 2.4 and 5 GHz support,

f209f52982 ath9k: fix channel flag / regd issues with multiple cards
Since the regulatory code touches the channel array, it needs to be
copied for each device instance. That way the original channel array
can also be made const.

The patch titled "ath9k: Add new file init.c" shuffled some code
around but in dong so for some reason also removed the revision
check for disablign power save. Add this revision check again
so we can get power save re-enabled again by default on cards
newer than AR5416 and AR5418.

347809fc2c ath9k: fix false positives in the baseband hang check
ath9k_hw_check_alive() occasionally returns false, as the hardware
is still processing data in a specific state. Fix this issue by
repeating the test a few times with longer delay inbetween attempts.
This gets rid of excessive hardware resets that appear frequently on
some AR9132 based devices, but could also happen on AR9280.
