Luis R. Rodriguez ae8d2858c5 ath9k: consolidate arguments on hw reset
HW reset calls pass the same variables or structs
which we can obtain easily from ah. Although this also applies
during channel changes as we will keep around the ath9k_channel
passed as an argument for now.

We now also now propagate the hw reset errors down.

Jouni Malinen 157ec87684 ath9k: Revert fix to TX status reporting for retries and MCS index
This patch reverts "ath9k: Fix TX status reporting for retries and MCS index"
because that change ended up breaking ath9k rate control. While the
MCS index reporting to mac80211 was indeed fixed by the patch, it did
not take into account that the ath9k rate control algorithm was
updating private tables based on this index and the index comes
through the rate control API call, i.e., based on mac80211 TX status
call. In addition, it looks like the "fix" to remove +1 from TX status
'count' field was not correct based on ieee80211_tx_status()
implementation that counts the total of count values, but starting
from -1, not 0.

The TX status reporting for frames using MCS needs to be fixed
somehow, but it does not look like there is any easy fix for the ath9k
rate control algorithm, so the best option now seems to be to revert the
change and bring it back once the rate control code is cleaned up to
handle this better.

Senthil Balasubramanian a07d3619fa ath9k: BH shouldn't be enabled when hardirqs are disabled.
ath_tx_complete_buf uses a BH version of spinlock and so releasing
the lock enables BH which is incorrect when called from sta_notify
callback as MAC80211 disables hardirqs before the driver callback
is called.

As ath_tx_complete_buf is shared between user and softirq context
using normal spinlock may not be appropriate. Though the proper
fix would be to cleanup the context properly in the driver code,
this would be an interim fix to avoid kernel warning.

Johannes Berg ae5eb02641 mac80211: rewrite HT handling
The HT handling has the following deficiencies, which I've
(partially) fixed:
 * it always uses the AP info even if there is no AP,
   hence has no chance of working as an AP
 * it pretends to be HW config, but really is per-BSS
 * channel sanity checking is left to the drivers
 * it generally lets the driver control too much

HT enabling is still wrong with this patch if you have more than
one virtual STA mode interface, but that never happens currently.
Once WDS, IBSS or AP/VLAN gets HT capabilities, it will also be
wrong, see the comment in ieee80211_enable_ht().

Additionally, this fixes a number of bugs:
 * mac80211: ieee80211_set_disassoc doesn't notify the driver any
             more since the refactoring
 * iwl-agn-rs: always uses the HT capabilities from the wrong stuff
               mac80211 gives it rather than the actual peer STA
 * ath9k: a number of bugs resulting from the broken HT API

I'm not entirely happy with putting the HT capabilities into
struct ieee80211_sta as restricted to our own HT TX capabilities,
but I see no cleaner solution for now.
