7bfbae10dc ath9k: disable RIFS search for AR91xx based chips
While ath9k does not support RIFS yet, the ability to receive RIFS
frames is currently enabled for most chipsets in the initvals.
This is causing baseband related issues on AR9160 and AR9130 based
chipsets, which can lock up under certain conditions.

This patch fixes these issues by overriding the initvals, effectively
disabling RIFS for all affected chipsets.

d8728ee919 ath9k: fix beacon timer restart after a card reset
In AP mode, ath_beacon_config_ap only restarts the timer if a TSF
restart is requested. Apparently this was added, because this function
unconditionally sets the flag for TSF reset.

The problem with this is, that ath9k_hw_reset() clobbers the timer
registers (specified in the initvals), thus effectively disabling the
SWBA interrupt whenever a card reset without TSF reset is issued
(happens in a few places in the code).

This patch fixes ath_beacon_config_ap to only issue the TSF reset flag
when necessary, but reinitialize the timer unconditionally. Tests show,
that this is enough to keep the SWBA interrupt going after a call to
ath_reset()

5c0ba62fd4 ath9k: fix rate control fallback rate selection
When selecting the tx fallback rate, rc.c used a separate variable
'nrix' for storing the next rate index, however it did not use that as
reference for further rate index lowering. Because of that, it ended up
reusing the same rate for multiple multi-rate retry stages, thus
decreasing delivery probability under changing link conditions.

This patch removes the separate (unnecessary) variable and fixes
fallback the way it was intended to work.
This should result in increased throughput and better link stability.

42c4568a4a ath9k: add a workaround for ack timeout issues
Adding support for setting the coverage class in some cases broke
association and data transfer, as it overwrote the initial ACK timeout
value from the initvals with a smaller value.
I don't know why the new value works in 5 GHz (matches the initval
there), but not in 2.4 GHz (initvals use 64us here), so until the
problem is fully understood, the value should be increased again.

658965107e ath9k: improve max rate retry handling
ath9k currently forces hw->max_rate_tries to 4 to work around rate
control inefficiencies. This has some negative side effects, such as
rate_control_send_low also using a maximum of 4 tries, which could
negatively affect reliability of unicast management frames.
This patch pushes the retry limit to the rate control instead, and
allows it to use more tries on the last stage to prevent unnecessary
packet loss.

a951ae2176 ath5k: fix setup for CAB queue
The beacon sent gating doesn't seem to work with any combination

Instead, use the DBA gating and hold transmission of the buffered

time.  This fixes the following error in AP mode:

2) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15 ---> Rx power -41dbm

4) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 5 ---> Rx power -51dbm

2703205967 ath9k: fix RTS/CTS handling
The Tx DMA descriptor has two kinds of flags that select RTS/CTS usage.
The first one (global for the frame) selects whether RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-self should be used, the second one enables RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-self usage for an individual multi-rate-retry entry.
Previously the code preparing the descriptor only enabled the global
flag, if the first MRR series selected the local one.
Fix this by enabling the global flag if any of the MRR entries need it.
With this patch, rate control can properly select the use of RTS/CTS
for all MRR entries except the first one, which is the default behavior.
