Felix Fietkau 6de12a1bce ath9k_hw: remove pCap->keycache_size
Similar to the number of tx queue, the number of keycache entries depends
on the chip and shouldn't be messed with based on EEPROM data.
Remove this field and stick to using AR_KEYTABLE_SIZE

Felix Fietkau f4c607dc53 ath9k_hw: remove pCap->total_queues
The EEPROM contains a field that can restrict the number of hardware queues,
however this is not only useless (all the known chips contain the same
number of hardware queues), but also potentially dangerous in case of a
misprogrammed EEPROM (could trigger driver crashes), so let's just ignore
it completely.

Felix Fietkau dd347f2fb2 ath9k: fix beacon timer handling issues
AP mode beacon timers in ath9k are configured in milliseconds, which breaks
when increasing ATH_BCBUF to 8 instead of 4 (due to rounding errors).
Since the hardware timers are actually configured in microseconds, it's
better to let the driver use that unit directly.

To be able to do that, the beacon interval parameter abuse for passing
certain flags needs to be removed. This is easy to do, because those flags
are completely unnecessary anyway. ATH9K_BEACON_ENA is ignored,
ATH9K_BEACON_RESET_TSF can be replaced with calling ath9k_hw_reset_tsf
from the driver directly.

Felix Fietkau 598cdd5246 ath9k_hw: force rx chainmask to 7 on AR9100
Most AR9100 devices already have a chainmask of 7 (three antennas), however
on the ones that don't (rx and tx chainmask set to 5), problems with IQ
mismatch calibration have been observed.
This shows up as tx queue hangs (and subsequent hardware resets) if traffic
is sent during this type of calibration.
Forcing the rx chainmask to 7 fixes the calibration issues with no apparent
negative side effects on throughput and stability.

Sujith Manoharan 00e0003e09 ath9k_hw: Fix opmode initialization
Commit "ath9k_hw: Relocate Opmode initialization"
moved the opmode initialization before the STA_ID1 register
was programmed with defaults. This changed the original
behaviour because the re-programming code doesn't take into
account the existing value in the register. Both ath9k and ath9k_htc
were not affected by this change because the opmode is
re-initialized after every reset, when RX is started.

Revert to the original behavior, except keep it outside the
REGWRITE block. This would help remove extraneous opmode calls
in the driver core.

We need to read and backup AR_WA register value permanently and reading
this after the chip is awakened results in this register being zeroed out.

This seems to fix the ASPM with L1 enabled issue that we have observed.
The laptop becomes very slow and hangs mostly with ASPM L1 enabled without

Senthil Balasubramanian ac45c12dfb ath9k_hw: Fix incorrect macversion and macrev checks
There are few places where we are checking for macversion and revsions
before RTC is powered ON. However we are reading the macversion and
revisions only after RTC is powered ON and so both macversion and
revisions are actully zero and this leads to incorrect srev checks

Incorrect srev checks can cause registers to be configured wrongly and can
cause unexpected behavior. Fixing this seems to address the ASPM issue that
we have observed. The laptop becomes very slow and hangs mostly with ASPM L1
enabled without this fix.

fix this by reading the macversion and revisisons even before we start
using them. There is no reason why should we delay reading this info
until RTC is powered on as this is just a register information.

SWBA register is used for generating software interrupts so that beacon

Felix Fietkau a05b5d4504 ath9k: add support for reading eeprom from platform data on PCI devices
Some embedded boards store platform data for connected PCIe AR92xx
chips in the system flash instead of a separate EEPROM chip.

Senthil Balasubramanian 6ee63f55c7 ath9k_hw: Fix low throughput issue with AR93xx
TX underruns were noticed when RTS/CTS preceded aggregates.
This issue was noticed in ar93xx family of chipsets only.
The workaround involves padding the RTS or CTS length up
to the min packet length of 256 bytes required by the
hardware by adding delimiters to the fist descriptor of
the aggregate.

Felix Fietkau de40f316c0 ath9k_hw: extend ath9k_hw_set_txpowerlimit to test channel txpower
ath9k_hw_set_txpowerlimit gets an extra boolean parameter that - if set -
causes the rate txpower table and the regulatory limit to be calculated
and stored, without changing hardware registers.
