For some reason the MAC timing is a bit off when waiting for ACKs, so add
some extra delay to the ACK timeout values. Significantly reduces the
number of retransmissions in my tests.
Also disable the 2.4 GHz ACK timeout workaround in half/quarter mode, it
is not required there.

AR9462 uses modified version of 3-Wire hw scheme for btcoex.
MCI itself is not a separate hw scheme but it aids to manage
multiple bt profiles. In ar9462, bt priority traffic is identified
by the number of bt profile types instead of gpio. So that this
patch removes MCI hw scheme.

The current code unconditionally reads the target
power values for all modes from the EEPROM. However
In 'ar9003_hw_set_power_per_rate_table' the regulatory
caps are applied only on a mode specific subset of the
power values.
The reported TX power level is calculated from the
maximum of the power values. Because some of these
values are uncapped in certain cases, the reported
TX power will be wrong.
On the older chipset, we don't have such problems
because only the mode specific subset of the power
levels are retrieved from the EEPROM on those. Do
the same for the AR9003 chips to fix the issue.

Having cmd[], meta[] and skbs[] as separate arrays
in the TX queue structure is cache inefficient as
we need the data for a given entry together.
To improve this, create an array with these three
members (allocate meta as part of that struct) so
we have the data we need together located together
improving cache footprint.
The downside is that we need to allocate a lot of
memory in one chunk, about 10KiB (on 64-bit) which
isn't very efficient.

We get two timing related fields for each bss from firmware in scan
results.
1) timestamp - Actual timestamp information in probe response/beacon
2) network_tsf - firmware's TSF value at the time the beacon or probe
response was received.
Both are needed while associating by firmware.
The patch takes care of following things.
1) We should pass "timestamp" to cfg80211_inform_bss(), but currently
"network_tsf" is being provided. This error is corrected here.
2) Rename "network_tsf" to "fw_tsf"
3) Make use of u64 variable instead of an array of u8/u32 to save
parsed "timestamp" information.
4) Use timestamp provided to stack in scan results using
cfg80211_inform_bss() while associating. (bss->tsf)
5) Allocate space to save fw_tsf in "priv" of cfg80211_bss
and retrieve it while associating.

As described at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/86084
libertas is taking a long time to load because it loads firmware
during module loading.
Add a new API for interface drivers to load their firmware
asynchronously. The same semantics of the firmware table are followed
like before.
Interface drivers will be converted in follow-up patches, then we can

There are connection stalls or very poor throughputs with rt2800
hardware using 802.11n in AP mode since patch "mac80211: retry sending
failed BAR frames later instead of tearing down aggr"[1][2].
Since rt2800 hardware is not able to correctly report the tx status of
BAR frames, this patch removes as workaround the existing error handling
on AP side, which lets mac80211 send a BAR when an AMPDU subframe fails.
As a result, most wifi clients (aside from Intel STAs on Windows)
instead will timeout now the reorder buffer and request the lost frame
again.
The correct solution would be, to tear down BA session on AP side.
This patch was born on the basis of "[RFT] rt2x00: Tear down BA
session on QoS frame failure"[3].
Thanks to Helmut Schaa for his support!
