Christian Lamparter 6ae4bb6612 carl9170: remove eeprom data injection option
In the early days, this was a quite useful software
feature for testing different regdomains and chain
configurations without adding debugfs cruft into
the driver. Nowadays, the driver's phy code seems
to be stable and there's no need for it anymore.
Therefore I decided to removed altogether.

Nicolas Cavallari e2d75c136f carl9170: claim to support IBSS RSN.
On carl9170, HW encryption is disabled on IBSS; the mac80211
software-based encryption is used instead. As mac80211 supports IBSS
RSN (per-STA GTK), claim its support in the carl9170 PHY.

Felix Fietkau 7a532fe713 ath9k_hw: fix interpretation of the rx KeyMiss flag
Documentation states that the KeyMiss flag is only valid if RxFrameOK is
unset, however empirical evidence has shown that this is false.
When KeyMiss is set (and RxFrameOK is 1), the hardware passes a valid frame
which has not been decrypted. The driver then falsely marks the frame
as decrypted, and when using CCMP this corrupts the rx CCMP PN, leading
to connection hangs.

Rajkumar Manoharan 1a19f77f36 ath9k: Fix regression in channelwidth switch at the same channel
The commit "ath9k: Fix invalid noisefloor reading due to channel update"
preserves the current channel noisefloor readings before updating
channel type at the same channel index. It is also updating the curchan
pointer. As survey updation is also referring curchan pointer to fetch
the appropriate index, which might leads to invalid memory access. This
patch partially reverts the change and stores the noise floor history
buffer before updating channel type w/o updating curchan.

Rajkumar Manoharan 016c217791 ath9k_hw: increase tx status ring buffer size
AR9003 chips read tx status from ring buffer whose max number of
status descriptor is mininal compared to max number of tx buffers.
On a stress condition, it can be easily overflown which might cause
false tx hung detection. Though increasing number of max status
descriptors consumes more memory, it helps to avoid false positive
chip resets.

Rusty Russell eb93992207 module_param: make bool parameters really bool (net & drivers/net)
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

(Thanks to Joe Perches for suggesting coccinelle for 0/1 -> true/false).

Many systems (e.g. embedded systems) do not have wifi modules connected to
bluetooth modules, so bluetooth coexistence is irrelevant there. With the
addition of MCI support, ath9k picked up quite a bit of extra code that
can be compiled out this way.

This patch redefines ATH9K_HW_CAP_MCI and adds an inline wrapper for
querying the bluetooth coexistence scheme, allowing the compiler to
eliminate code that uses it, with only very little use of #ifdef.

On MIPS this reduces the total size for the modules by about 20k.

Zefir Kurtisi 29942bc125 ath9k: add DFS radar pulse processing
This initial DFS module provides basic functionality to deal
with radar pulses reported by the Atheros DFS HW pulse detector.

The reported data is evaluated and basic plausibility checks
are performed to filter false pulses. Passing radar pulses are
forwarded to pattern detectors which are not yet implemented.

(Some modifications to actually use ATH9K_DFS_DEBUGFS based on comments
from Julian Calaby <julian.calaby@gmail.com>. -- JWL)

This makes locking much easier to review and should not have any noticeable
