      ath9k: clean up hardware code for beacon handling · f33fdcf1
      Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan authored 
      The registers TBTT_TIMER ,DMA_BEACON_ALERT ,NEXT_SWBA are need to be
configured only for AP and IBSS mode.

SWBA register is used for generating software interrupts so that beacon
frames will be created by the software.DMA beacon alert register is
to indicate the hardware to DMA the contents of beacon buffer to PCU buffer
and TBTT to start transmitting the packet buffer to the base band.
Clearly these things are not needed for station/monitor mode so
remove configuring them.

      cfg80211: update information elements in cached BSS struct · 01123e23
      Sven Neumann authored 
      When a cached BSS struct is updated because a new beacon was received,
the code replaces the cached information elements by the IEs from the
new beacon. However it did not update the pub.information_elements
and pub.len_information_elements fields leaving them either pointing
to the old beacon IEs or in an inconsistent state where the data is
replaced by the new beacon IEs but len_information_elements still has
its value from the first beacon.

Fix this by updating the information elements fields if they are
pointing to beacon IEs.

      cfg80211: Add antenna availability information · a7ffac95
      Bruno Randolf authored 
      Add a field to wiphy for the hardware to report the availble antennas for
configuration. Only if this is set to something bigger than zero, will the
anntenna configuration ops be executed.

Allthough this could be a simple number of antennas, I defined it as a bitmap
of antennas which are available for configuration, since it's more consistent
with the rest of the antenna API and there could be cases where the
hardware allows only configuration of certain antennas. As it does not make
much of a difference in size or normal usage, I think it's better to be able to
support this, in case the need arises.

The antenna configuration is now also checked against the availabe antennas and
rejected if it does not match.

      ath9k: fix assumptions for idle calls on suspend/resume · a08e7ade
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored 
      mac80211 will notify drivers when to go idle and ath9k
assumed that it would get further notifications for idle
states after a device stop() config call but as per agreed
semantics the idle state of the radio is left up to driver
after mac80211 issues the stop() callback. The driver is
resposnbile for ensuring the device remains idle after
that even between suspend / resume calls.

This fixes suspend/resume when you issue suspend and resume
twice on ath9k when ath9k_stop() was already called. We need
to put the radio to full sleep in order for resume to work
correctly.

What might seem fishy is we are turning the radio off
after resume. The reason why we do this is because we know
we should not have anything enabled after a mac80211 tells
us to stop(), if we resume and never get a start() we won't
get another stop() by mac80211 so to be safe always bring
the 802.11 device with the radio disabled after resume,
this ensures that if we suspend we already have the radio
disabled and only a start() will ever trigger it on.

      ath9k: Fix power save count imbalance on ath_radio_enable() · c2731b81
      Luis R. Rodriguez authored 
      Upon a failure we never call ath9k_ps_restore() on ath_radio_enable(),
this will throw off the sc->ps_usecount. When the sc->ps_usecount
is > 0 we never put the chip to full sleep. This drains battery,
and will also make the chip fail upon resume with:

ath: Starting driver with initial channel: 5745 MHz
ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000

This would make the chip useless upon resume.

I cannot prove this can happen but in theory it is so best to
avoid this race completely and not have users complain about
a broken device after resume.

      ath9k: Parse DTIM period from mac80211 · 0ce3bcfc
      Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan authored 
      With the current save power save implementation we assume a dtim period
of 1.This value is assigned based on a sanity check in the driver
eventhough we had not parsed it from mac80211.This patch obtains the actual
DTIM period from AP by parsing it from mac80211.Yet for handling
multicast traffic we may still have it as fixed rather than parsing it
from mac80211 .This does not breaks power save or anything as the sleep
duration is currently fixed in the driver.This patch may serve to improve
power save in the future by using dtim period for sleep duration and using
correct dtim period adhoc mode.

      ath9k_htc: Cleanup device identification · 0b5ead91
      Sujith Manoharan authored 
      ath.ko is a common module shared between ath5k, ar9170usb, ath9k and ath9k_htc.
Adding driver specific data to the shared structure would impact all the
drivers. Handling USB device recognition for devices specific to ath9k_htc
can be handled within the driver itself.

Also, AR7010 refers to the processor used in both AR9280/AR9287 based
devices. Rename the device enumerations accordingly.

While at it, check properly for the bus type when choosing the EEPROM
base address for UB95.
