carl9170: remove lost-frame workaround

This patch removes some cruft, which survived
the RFC review phase.

Originally, carl9170_tx_ampdu_queue erroneously
dropped a lot of frames. As a result the ampdu
scheduler bogged down quite frequently and the
affected BA session timed out.

However this bug has been fixed and the WA and
its debugfs counter is no longer useful.

    mac80211: move cmntr flag out of rx flags

moved the CMNTR flag into the skb RX flags for
some aggregation cleanups, but this was wrong
since the optimisation this flag tried to make
requires that it is kept across the processing
of multiple interfaces -- which isn't true for
flags in the skb. The patch not only broke the
optimisation, it also introduced a bug: under
some (common!) circumstances the flag will be
set on an already freed skb!

However, investigating this in more detail, I
found that most of the flags that we set should
be per packet, _except_ for this one, due to
a-MPDU processing. Additionally, the flags used
for processing (currently just this one) need
to be reset before processing a new packet.

Since we haven't actually seen bugs reported as
a result of the wrong flags handling (which is
not too surprising -- the only real bug case I
can come up with is an a-MSDU contained in an
a-MPDU), I'll make a different fix for rc.

ath9k: clean up / fix aggregation session flush

The tid aggregation cleanup is a bit fragile, as it discards failed
subframes in some places, and retransmits them in others. This could
block the cleanup of an existing aggregation session, if a retransmission
for a tid is issued, yet the tid is never scheduled again because of
the cleanup state.

Fix this by getting rid of as many subframes as possible, as early
as possible, and immediately transmitting pending subframes as regular
HT frames instead of waiting for the cleanup to complete.

Drop all pending subframes while keeping track of the Block ACK window
during aggregate tx completion to prevent sending out stale subframes,
which could confuse the receiver side.

The scanning flag was used to ensure we reset ANI to the old values
when we go back to the home channel, but if we are offchannel we
use some defaults. The flag was also used to re-enable the TX monitor.

Without this patch we simply never re-enabled ANI and the TX monitor
after going offchannel. This means that after one background
scan we are prone to noise issues and if we had a TX hang we would
not recover. To get this to work properly we must enable ANI after

oddly.

ath9k: fix power save race conditions

ath9k has a race on putting the chip into network sleep and
having registers read from hardware. The race occurs because
although ath9k_ps_restore() locks its own callers it makes use
of some variables which get altered in the driver at different
code paths. The variables are the ps_enabled and ps_flags.

This is easily reprodicible in large network environments when
roaming with the wpa_supplicant simple bgscan. You'd get some
0xdeadbeef read out on certain registers such as:

ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x806c: 0xdeadbeef & 0x01f00000 != 0x00000000
ath: RX failed to go idle in 10 ms RXSM=0xdeadbeef

ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000
ath: Chip reset failed

The fix is to protect the ath9k_config(hw, IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_PS)
calls with a spin_lock_irqsave() which will disable contendors for
these variables from interrupt context, timers, re-entry from mac80211
on the same callback, and most importantly from ath9k_ps_restore()
which is the only call which will put the device into network sleep.

are submitted as bulk urbs, but register reads are not. Also changing the
register read endpoint pipe as bulk type when URBs are filled improves the
register reads considerably which results in reduced scan time and CPU
utilization.

mac80211: add p2p device type support

When a driver advertises p2p device support,
mac80211 will handle it, but internally it will
rewrite the interface type to STA/AP rather than
P2P-STA/GO since otherwise a lot of paths need
to be touched that are otherwise identical. A
p2p boolean tells drivers whether or not a given
interface will be used for p2p or not.

mac80211: set running state earlier

When an interface is brought up, the recent changes
to allow changing type-while-up only set the running
bit after everything was done. This broke a number
of things, including idle calculation for monitor
interfaces, and it also broke WDS station insertion
(although nobody noticed yet).

Thus, change the code to set the running bit earlier,
but keep it after the driver's add_interface was
called because otherwise drivers may iterate over
interfaces they haven't fully set up yet.
