4e6ce4dc7c ath9k: Fix RTC_DERIVED_CLK usage
Based on the reference clock, which could be 25MHz or 40MHz,
AR_RTC_DERIVED_CLK is programmed differently for AR9340 and AR9550.
But, when a chip reset is done, processing the initvals
sets the register back to the default value.

Fix this by moving the code in ath9k_hw_init_pll() to
ar9003_hw_override_ini(). Also, do this override for AR9531.

cf2c92d840 mac80211: replace restart_complete() with reconfig_complete()
Drivers might want to know also when mac80211 has
completed reconfiguring after resume (e.g. in order
to know when frames can be passed to mac80211).

Rename restart_complete() to a more-generic reconfig_complete(),
and add a new enum to indicate the reconfiguration type.

Update the current users with the new prototype.

707b1bbd7e ath10k: fix pm resume after suspend
Firmware was crashing when we were trying to warm reset it
after suspend. This was due to the fact that target registeres
can be accessed only if the hardware is awaken.

This patch makes sure to awake the device also on the hif up,
not only in case of probe call.

aa292fa409 ath6kl: remove incorrect reset_resume handler
Existing implementation of reset_resume handler just calls
ath6kl_usb_remove() that deallocates all resources.
It can lead to double free, etc. on disconnect.

The patch removes reset_resume handler,
so usb core could conservatively reset the driver.

7962b0d898 ath10k: speed up hw recovery
In some cases hw recovery was taking an absurdly
long time due to ath10k waiting for things that
would never really complete.

Instead of waiting for inevitable timeouts poke
all completions and wakequeues and check if it's
still worth waiting.

Reading/writing ar->state requires conf_mutex.
Since waiters might be holding it introduce a new
flag CRASH_FLUSH so it's possible to tell waiters
to abort whatever they were waiting for.

04ed9dfe49 ath10k: fix possible bmi crash
While testing other things I've found that CE
items aren't cleared properly. This could lead to
null dereferences in BMI.

To prevent that make sure CE revoking clears the
nbytes value (which is used as a buffer completion
indication) and memset the entire CE ring data
shared between host and target when
(re)initializing.

Also make sure to check BMI xfer pointer and print
a splat instead of crashing the kernel.

61c1648bd7 ath10k: make warm reset a bit safer and faster
One of the problems with warm reset I've found is
that it must be guaranteed that copy engine
registers are not being accessed while being
reset. Otherwise in worst case scenario the host
may lock up.

Instead of using sleeps and hoping the device is
operational in some arbitrary timeframes use
firmware indication register.

As a side effect this makes driver
boot/stop/recovery faster.

b516fcc554 wil6210: prevent double disconnect command issuing
Disconnect flow may be invoked either from upper layer request,
or from event reported by the firmware.

In case of firmware event, driver need to release resources for the station but
not send another disconnect WMI command.

In case of upper layer request, WMI_DISCONNECT_STA_CMDID command need to
be issued for the firmware to perform disconnect on the MAC layer. Eventually,
event is expected to confirm MAC disconnect, but it is better to not wait for
firmware event and release station resources immediately. FW may fail to
report disconnect for various reasons, so one could not rely on event always reported.

Introduce parameter to distinguish 2 cases above to prevent double WMI command
issuing.

The "goto chip_reset" is a bit misleading, because it does not actually
issue a chip reset. Instead it is bypassing processing of other
interrupts and assumes that the tasklet will issue a chip reset.

In the case of RXORN this does not happen, so bypassing processing of
other interrupts will simply allow them to fire again. Even if RXORN
was triggering a reset, it is not critical enough to need the bypass
here.

1e929d3e02 ath9k: Do not start BA when scanning
mac80211 currently has a race which can be hit
with this sequence:

* Start a scan operation.
* TX BA is initiated by ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session().
* Driver sets up internal state and calls
  ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
* mac80211 adds a packet to sdata->skb_queue with
  type IEEE80211_SDATA_QUEUE_AGG_START.
* ieee80211_iface_work() doesn't process the
  packet because scan is in progress.
* ADDBA response timer expires and the sta/tid is
  torn down.
* Driver receives BA stop notification and calls
  ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe().
* This is also added to the queue by mac80211.
* Now, scan finishes.

At this point, the queued up packets might be processed
if some other operation schedules the sdata work. Since
the tids have been cleaned up already, warnings are hit.

If this doesn't happen, the packets are left in the queue
until the interface is torn down.

Since initiating a BA session when scan is in progress
leads to flaky connections, especially in MCC mode, we
can drop the TX BA request. This improves connectivity
with legacy clients in MCC mode.

25f3bc7dbd ath9k: Improve flush() in mcc mode
The flush timeout in MCC mode is very small, since
we are constrained by the time slice for each
channel context, but since only the HW queues are
flushed when switching contexts, it is acceptable.

Since the SW queues are also emptied in the mac80211 flush()
callback, a larger duration is needed. Add an override
argument to __ath9k_flush() and set it when flush()
is called in MCC mode. This allows the driver to
drain both the SW and HW queues.

23aab0c25f ath9k: Fix HW scan abort
Instead of using ATH_CHANCTX_EVENT_ASSIGN to abort
a HW scan when a new interface becomes active, use the
mgd_prepare_tx() callback. This allows us to make
sure that the GO's channel becomes operational by
using flush_work().

a350335c5f ath9k: Fix RoC expiration
mac80211 has to be notified when a RoC period
expires in the driver. In MCC mode, since the
offchannel/RoC timer is set with the requested
duration, ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired() needs
to be called when the timer expires.

But, currently it is done after we move back to
the operating channel. This is incorrect - fix this
by calling ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired() when
the RoC timer expires and in ath_roc_complete() when
the RoC request is aborted.
