Using skb_header_cloned to check if it's safe to write to the skb is not
enough - mac80211 also touches the tailroom of the skb.
Initially this check was only used to increase a counter, however this
commit changed the code to also skip skb data reallocation if no extra
head/tailroom was needed:

commit 4cd06a34
mac80211: skip unnecessary pskb_expand_head calls

It added a regression at least with iwl3945, which is fixed by this patch.

This patch reverts the following commit
ath9k: remove bfs_paprd_timestamp from struct ath_buf_state

Under high interference/noisy environment conditions where PAPRD frames
fails heavily introduces a possibility of double freeing skb's and causes
kernel panic after some time.This patch reverts back to the original approach
of using paprd_timestamp before freeing the PAPRD frame skb's

When the off-channel TX is done with remain-on-channel
offloaded to hardware, the reported cookie is wrong as
in that case we shouldn't use the SKB as the cookie but
need to instead use the corresponding r-o-c cookie
(XOR'ed with 2 to prevent API mismatches).

Fix this by keeping track of the hw_roc_skb pointer
just for the status processing and use the correct
cookie to report in this case. We can't use the
hw_roc_skb pointer itself because it is NULL'ed when
the frame is transmitted to prevent it being used
twice.

This fixes a bug where the P2P state machine in the
supplicant gets stuck because it never gets a correct

While unloading the driver, the ps_usecount is incremented
before configuring gpio registers in deinit_device.
But it is failed to restore the ps_usecount after that.
The problem is that the chip is forcibly moved to FULL SLEEP
by radio_disable when mac80211 is reporting as idle
though ps_usecount is not zero.

This patch retores ps_usecount properly and ensures that
the chip is always moved to full sleep only if ps usage
count is zero which also helps in debugging deadbeef on
multivif case. And also fixes the following warning.

This reverts commit 04530982. That
commit is wrong for two reasons:

- The conn->sec_level shouldn't be updated without performing
authentication first (as it's supposed to represent the level of
security that the existing connection has)

- A higher auth_type value doesn't mean "more secure" like the commit
seems to assume. E.g. dedicated bonding with MITM protection is 0x03
whereas general bonding without MITM protection is 0x04. hci_conn_auth
already takes care of updating conn->auth_type so hci_connect doesn't
need to do it.

The power detector adc offset calibration has to be done
on 4 minutes interval (longcal * pa_skip_count). But the commit
"ath9k_hw: fix a noise floor calibration related race condition"
makes the PA calibration executed more frequently beased on
nfcal_pending value. Running PAOffset calibration lesser than
longcal interval doesn't help anything and the worse part is that
it causes NF load timeouts and RX deaf conditions.

In a very noisy environment, where the distance b/w AP & station
is ~10 meter and running a downlink udp traffic with frequent
background scan causes "Timeout while waiting for nf to load:
AR_PHY_AGC_CONTROL=0x40d1a" and moves the chip into deaf state.
This issue was originaly reported in Android platform where
