Harshal Chhaya discovered during network tests, that
several of his clients dropped-off the network. The
captured packets shows that the beacons sent by the
AP are at a much lower power than the other data
packets.
The reason for this mishap: The driver never updated
the beacon phy register, so all beacons were always
sent at the lowest power.

For unicast the hardware sometimes reports MIC errors even though the
frame that it received actually contains a valid MIC - on some chips this
can happen frequently enough to trigger TKIP countermeasures.
Fix this issue by not reporting MIC errors for unicast frames with a
valid key, letting mac80211 validate the MIC instead.
Additionally, strip the MIC for all frames that the hardware considers
valid to avoid wasting CPU cycles re-validating it.

While 32 KHz sleep clock might provide some power saving benefits,
it is also a major source of stability issues, on OpenWrt it produced
some reproducible data bus errors on register accesses on several
different MIPS platforms.
All the Atheros drivers that I can find do not enable this feature,
so it makes sense to leave it disabled in ath5k as well.

During scans the full calibration usually does not make much sense,
PAPD probing and IQ calibration should be deferred until there is
enough time to complete them. Adding 100 ms to the initial full
calibration delay should be enough to do this.

Decryping frames on key_miss handling shouldn't be done for Michael
MIC failed frames as h/w would have already decrypted such frames
successfully anyway.
Also leaving CRC and PHY error(where the frame is going to be dropped
anyway), we are left to prcoess Decrypt error for which s/w decrypt is
selected anway and so having key_miss as a separate check doesn't serve
anything. So making key_miss handling mutually exlusive with other RX
status handling makes much more sense.
This patch addresses an issue with STA not reporting MIC failure events
resulting in STA being disconnected immediately.
