    ath9k: recover ar9380 chips from rare stuck state · 01e18918
    Rajkumar Manoharan authored
    In the experiment with Azimuth ADEPT-n testbed where the APs transmit
    power was reduced to 25% and the signal strength was futher attenuated
    by 20dB and induced a path loss of ~7dB, the station was reporting
    beacon losses and the following issue were observed.
    
    * rx clear is stuck at low for more than 300ms
    * dcu chain and complete state is stuck at one of the hang signature
    
    This patch triggers the hang detection logic that recovers the chip
    from any of the above conditions. As the issue was originally reported
    in ChromeOs with AR9382 chips, this detection logic is enabled only for
    AR9380/2 chips.
