A long time ago, a user reported several crashes due to
data corruptions which are likely the result of a
not-100%-supported, or faulty? PCI bridge.
( http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/53004/ )

This patch fixes entry #1.
"1.  p54p_check_rx_ring - skb_over_panic: Under a ping flood
or just left running for a bit would panic with a skb_over_panic."
As described in the mail: The invalid frame length causes
skb_put to bailout and trigger a crash.

Note:
Simply dropping the frame is problematic, because if its content
contains a tx feedback we would lose some portion of the device
memory space.... And the driver/mac80211 should handle all other
invalid data.

While testing the pid rate controller in mac80211_hwsim, I noticed
that once the controller reached 54 Mbit rates, it would fail to
lower the rate when necessary.  The debug log shows:

1945 186786 pf_sample 50 3534 3577 50

My interpretation is that the fixed point scaling of the target
error value (pf) is incorrect: the error value of 50 compared to
a target of 14 case should result in a scaling value of
(14-50) = -36 * 256 or -9216, but instead it is (14 * 256)-50, or
3534.

Correct this by doing fixed point scaling after subtraction.

Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended protection
mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.

Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.

Previously ath9k left the initialization of slot timing and ACK/CTS
timeout to the mode specific initvals. This does not handle short vs
long slot in 2.4 GHz and uses a rather strange value for the 2.4 GHz
ACK timeout (64 usec).
This patch uses the proper ath9k_hw functions for setting slot time and
timeouts and also implements the switch between short and long slot
time in 2.4 GHz
