Sujith Manoharan c75197a779 ath9k_htc: Fix mode selection
Remove all the unsupported modes like FH, TURBO etc.
Since this requires a FW update, increase the fw version to 1.3

Sujith Manoharan 3a0593efd1 ath9k_htc: Fix AMPDU subframe handling
* Register the driver's maximum ampdu subframe limit to mac80211.
* Cleanup the target capabilities structure and fix an endian issue.
* Fix BTCOEX by sending a command to the target when the BT priority
  changes.
* Bump the required firmware version to 1.1

Sujith Manoharan 2f80194c90 ath9k_htc: Use separate URB pool for management frames
Beacon transmission needs to involve as little latency
as possible after receiving a SWBA event from the target.
Since packets are buffered to use TX stream mode, beacon
frames sometimes gets queued up and are not sent out immediately.
Fix this by decoupling management frame transmission from the
normal data path and send them out immediately.

Sujith Manoharan 3deff76095 ath9k_htc: Increase URB count for REG_IN pipe
Using a single URB for receiving WMI events is
insufficient, increase it to 64 to not lose
WMI events in high throughput situations.

Sujith Manoharan 15f6d6d52f ath9k_htc: Reduce TX queue size
The current max queue length of 1024 is quite large
and unnecessary. 256 suffices well enough even for high
throughput situations.

Sujith Manoharan ff8f59b5bb ath9k_htc: Handle pending URBs properly
When doing a channel change, the pending URBs have to be killed
properly on calling htc_stop().

This fixes the probe response timeout seen when sending UDP traffic at
a high rate and running background scan at the same time.

Sujith Manoharan 0b5ead91cd ath9k_htc: Cleanup device identification
ath.ko is a common module shared between ath5k, ar9170usb, ath9k and ath9k_htc.
Adding driver specific data to the shared structure would impact all the
drivers. Handling USB device recognition for devices specific to ath9k_htc
can be handled within the driver itself.

Also, AR7010 refers to the processor used in both AR9280/AR9287 based
devices. Rename the device enumerations accordingly.

While at it, check properly for the bus type when choosing the EEPROM
base address for UB95.

Sujith c11d8f89d3 ath9k_htc: Simplify TX URB management
This patch simplifies URB management for transmission,
by removing the 'FLUSH' variable (which is not needed,
since we can determine if the URB has been killed by
looking at the URB status), and also handling the STOP
case properly.

Sujith c503269a0f ath9k_htc: Fix module unloading issue
The maximum number of packets in a single buffer in
stream mode is 10. The driver currently uses 8 - which
caused stack corruption, in the absence of any kind
of OOB checking.

Fixing this to the correct value of 10 fixes the module
unload issue.

Sujith 6335ed0ff8 ath9k_htc: Simplify RX URB management
This patch introduces the usage of URB anchors,
thus reducing a large amount of code dealing with
URB maintenance within the driver. The RX callback now
takes care of freeing the SKB associated with each URB.
