requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all
the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume
cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume
the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will
continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers,
queue work, and so on for a device which is completley
unfunctional.
The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and
warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch
is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware
reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable
anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a
device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

mac80211: fix race with suspend and dynamic_ps_disable_work
When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback
as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will
be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked.
If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing
hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable
upon resume.
Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work
by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts
quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as
that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the
mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the
beginning of suspend cycle.
The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch.

ath9k: fix missed error codes in the tx status check
My previous change added in:
commit
815833e7ecf0b9a017315cae6aef4d7cd9517681
ath9k: fix tx status reporting
was not checking all possible tx error conditions. This could possibly
lead to throughput issues due to slow rate control adaption or missed
retransmissions of failed A-MPDU frames.
This patch adds a mask for all possible error conditions and uses it
in the xmit ok check.

ath9k: wake hardware during AMPDU TX actions
AMDPDU actions poke hardware for TX operation, as such
we want to turn hardware on for these actions. AMDPU RX operations
do not require hardware on as nothing is done in hardware for
those actions. Without this we cannot guarantee hardware has
been programmed correctly for each AMPDU TX action.

ath9k: wake hardware for interface IBSS/AP/Mesh removal
When we remove a IBSS/AP/Mesh interface we stop DMA
but to do this we should ensure hardware is on. Awaken
the device prior to these calls. This should ensure
DMA is stopped upon suspend and plain device removal.

ath9k: fix suspend by waking device prior to stop
Ensure the device is awake prior to trying to tell hardware
to stop it. Impact of not doing this is we can likely leave
the device in an undefined state likely causing issues with
suspend and resume. This patch ensures harware is where it
should be prior to suspend.
