ath5k uses 8 usec as a sifs time, extracted from the initvals, whereas the
standard requires a sifs time of 10. The difference originates from the fact
that the SIFS register has an offset of 2 usec.

During normal operation, minstrel was showing suspicious EWMA probabilities
exceeding 100%. It looks like the tx status reporting in ath5k was not
properly clearing the rate index for rates which were never attempted.
This is caused by uninitialized stale data in the on-stack tx status
information, which is reused when more frames are received.
To fix this, rely on ts->ts_final_idx to select the last attempted rate,
instead of checking whether ts->ts_rate is set.
Additionally, the conversion from the driver rate index back to the
mac80211 rate index can be dropped, as the mac80211 tx status will still
have the original rate index which was used to set up the descriptor.
Additionally, one more inaccuracy was fixed - the final rate attempt
count only needs to be increased by one if the transmission attempt was
successful.

The problem is that when the attenuation is increased,
the rate will start to drop from MCS7 -> MCS6, and finally
will see MCS1 -> CCK_11Mbps. When the rate is changed b/w
CCK and OFDM, it will use register desired_scale to calculate
how much tx gain need to change.
The output power with the same tx gain for CCK and OFDM modulated
signals are different. This difference is constant for AR9280
but not AR9285/AR9271. It has different PA architecture
a constant. So it should be calibrated against this PA
characteristic.
The driver has to read the calibrated values from EEPROM and set
the tx power registers accordingly.

During PHY errors, the MAC can sometimes fail to enter an idle state on older
hardware (before AR9380) after an rx stop has been requested.
This typically shows up in the kernel log with messages like these:
ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c:504 ath_stoprecv+0xcc/0xf0 [ath9k]()

When this happens, the state that the MAC enters is easy to identify and
does not result in bogus DMA traffic, however to ensure a working state
after a channel change, the hardware should still be reset.
This patch adds detection for this specific MAC state, after which the above
warnings completely disappear in my tests.

This patch fixes a very serious off-by-one bug in
the driver, which could leave the device in an
unresponsive state.
The problem was that the extra_len variable [used to
reserve extra scratch buffer space for the firmware]
was left uninitialized. Because p54_assign_address
later needs the value to reserve additional space,
the resulting frame could be to big for the small
device's memory window and everything would
immediately come to a grinding halt.

There's no need to keep both normal and BT statistics
versions around all the time in memory when we only
use a subset of both. So keep only the subsets that
we need in memory, depending on the debug config).
Also, in doing so, we can remove all the calls to
iwl_bt_statistics() in the driver as we'll just
access the copied statistics now.
Finally, also remove this call from the one place
where it might still be needed and automatically
detect what kind of statistics the device is sending
based on their size. This way, we don't need to keep
track of which devices do what any more, which is
good since this is subject to change based on the
ucode version (as some ucode even for non-BT devices
will in fact use BT statistics).
Warn upon encountering a statistics command from the
ucode that isn't known, so we will find such issues
earlier in the future.

The microcode may sometimes reject TX frames when
on a radar channel even after we associated as it
clears information during association and needs to
receive a new beacon before allowing that channel
again. This manifests itself as a TX status value
of TX_STATUS_FAIL_PASSIVE_NO_RX. So in this case,
stop the corresponding queue and give the frame
back to mac80211 for retransmission. We start the
queue again when a beacon from the AP is received
which will make the regulatory enforcement in the
device allow transmitting again.

This generates a massive reduction in module size:

388347 13136 408 401891 621e3 iwlagn.ko (after)
without debug:

294192 13072 408 307672 4b1d8 iwlagn.ko (after)
This also removes all the IO debug functionality since
it can easily be replaced by tracing, and makes the
code unnecessarily complex.
I haven't done any CPU utilisation measurements, but
given that the hotpaths don't use much IO it is not
likely to have a negative impact; in fact, the size
reduction will reduce cache pressure which possibly
improves performance.
Finally, an unused function or two were removed.
