Instead of spreading ath_wake_mac80211_queue() calls over multiple places
in the tx path that process the tx queue for completion, call it only
where the pending frames counter gets decremented, eliminating some
redundant checks.
To prevent queue draining from waking the queues prematurely (e.g. during
a hardware reset), reset the queue stop state when draining all queues,
as the caller in main.c will run ieee80211_wake_queues(hw) anyway.

The commit 'ath9k: Add more information to debugfs xmit file.' added more
debug counters to ath9k and also added some lines of code to ath9k_hw.

Since ath9k_hw is also used by ath9k_htc, its code must not depend on ath9k
data structures. In this case it was not fatal, but it's still wrong, so
the code needs to be moved back to ath9k.

To improve aggregation length, there should not be more than two fully formed
A-MPDU frames in the hardware queue. To ensure this, the code checks the tx
queue length before forming new A-MPDUs. This can reduce the throughput (or
maybe even starve out A-MPDU traffic) when too many non-aggregated frames are
in the queue.
Fix this by keeping track of pending A-MPDU frames (even when they're sent out
as single frames), but exclude rate control probing frames to improve
performance.

When ath_drain_all_txq fails to stop DMA, it issues a hw reset. This reset
happens at a very problematic point in time, when the hardware rx path has
not been stopped yet. This could lead to memory corruption, hardware hangs
or other issues.
To fix these issues, simply remove the reset entirely and check the tx DMA
stop status to prevent problems with fast channel changes.

This feature is to mitigate the problem of certain 3
stream chips that exceed the PCIe power requirements.An EEPROM flag
controls which chips have APM enabled which is basically read from
miscellaneous configuration element of the EEPROM header.

This workaround will reduce power consumption by using 2 Tx chains for
Single and Double stream rates (5 GHz only).All self generated frames
(regardless of rate) are sent on 2 chains when this feature is
enabled(Chip Limitation).

Since the pointers after the rates in the tx info cannot be used anymore
after frames have been queued, this area can be used to store information
that was previously stored in the ath_buf. With these changes, we can delay
the ath_buf assignment in the aggregation code until aggregates are formed.

That will not only make it possible to simplify DMA descriptor setup to
do less rewriting of uncached memory, but will also make it easier to
move aggregation out of the core of the ath9k tx path.

The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.

The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).

This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.

To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).

It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).

To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.
