CUS198 is a card based on AR9485. There are differences
between the base reference design HB125 and CUS198.
Identify such cards based on the PCI subsystem IDs and
set HW parameters appropriately.

With the new rate control API, the driver can now apply the
tx rate to outgoing frames just before they are uploaded to
the device. This is important because the rate control can
now react to fading or improving links a bit sooner.
Also, the driver no longer needs to sort the outgoing frames
for sample attempts (which affected the size of A-MPDUs and
the throughput of the link). For aggregated data frames, the
driver (and rate control) needs only to calculate and apply
a single set of tx rates to every subframe of the whole
aggregate.

ah->noise is maintained globally and not per-channel. This
is updated in the reset() routine after the NF history has been
filled for the *current channel*, just before switching to
the new channel. There is no need to do it inside getnf(), since
ah->noise must contain a value for the new channel.

The commits,
"ath9k: Fix regression in channelwidth switch at the same channel"
"ath9k: Fix invalid noisefloor reading due to channel update"
attempted to fix noisefloor calibration when a channel switch
happens due to HT20/HT40 bandwidth change. This is causing invalid
readings resulting in messages like:
"ath: phy16: NF[0] (-45) > MAX (-95), correcting to MAX".
This results in an incorrect noise being used initially for reporting
the signal level of received packets, until NF calibration is done
and the history buffer is updated via the ANI timer, which happens
much later.
When a bandwidth change happens, it is appropriate to reset
the internal history data for the channel. Do this correctly in the
reset() routine by checking the "chanmode" variable.

The commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
changed various ANI operational parameters to address a specific
card/environment. This is not really applicable for other cards
in general usage.
As per internal documentation, lowering the immunity level can be
done only after 5 periods have passed and the CCK/OFDM errors are
below the low watermak threshold - which have been fixed at 300 and
400 respectively by the sytems team.
Raising the immunity level can be done when CCK/OFDM errors exceed
600 and 1000 (per second).
Set these values once during attach.

Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.
The wiki page for the driver is:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k
The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
Bartosz Markowski <bartosz.markowski@tieto.com>

The ath9k rate control algorithm has various architectural
issues that make it a poor fit in scenarios like congested
environments etc.
An example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927191
Change the default to minstrel which is more robust in such cases.
The ath9k RC code is left in the driver for now, maybe it can
be removed altogether later on.

Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.
