ath9k supports its own set of virtual wiphys, and it uses the mac80211 idle notifications to know when a device needs to be idle or not. We recently changed ath9k to force idle on driver stop() and on resume but forgot to take into account ath9k's own virtual wiphy idle states. These are used internally by ath9k to check if the device's radio should be powered down on each idle call. Without this change its possible that the device could have been forced off but the virtual wiphy idle was left on.

The commit "ath9k_hw: warn if we cannot change the power to the chip" introduced a new warning to indicate chip powerup failures, but this is not required for devices that have been removed. Handle USB device removal properly by checking for unplugged status. For PCI devices, this warning will still be seen when the card is pulled out, not sure how to check for card removal.

The commit 'ath9k_hw: Disable PAPRD for rates with low Tx power' changed the code that sets the PAPRD rate masks to use only either the HT20 mask or the HT40 mask. This is wrong, as the hardware can still use HT20 rates even when configured for HT40, and the operating channel mode does not affect PAPRD operation. The register for the HT40 rate mask is applied as a mask on top of the other registers to selectively disable PAPRD for specific rates on HT40 packets only. This patch changes the code back to the old behavior which matches the intended use of these registers. While with current cards this should not make any practical difference (according to Atheros, the HT20 and HT40 mask should always be equal), it is more correct that way, and maybe the HT40 mask will be used for some rare corner cases in the future.

When rfkill is enabled, ath9k_hw unnecessarily configured the baseband to turn off based on GPIO input, however that code was hardcoded to GPIO 0 instead of ah->rfkill_gpio. Since ath9k uses software rfkill anyway, this code is completely unnecessary and should be removed in case anything else ever uses GPIO 0.

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.

This patch allows the pm-qos value to be user configurable by making it as a module parameter.This will help our customers to configure the pm-qos value according to the effect in throughput due to the DMA latency problem which was observed in Intel Pinetrail platforms.

The EEPROM contains scale factors for the tx power, which define the range of allowable difference between target power and training power.

To be able to measure the thermal values correctly for PAPRD, we need to send training frames before setting up the gain table for the measurement, and then again afterwards for the actual training. For further improvement, send training frames at MCS0 instead of 54 MBit/s legacy. That way we can use the No-ACK flag for the transmission, which speeds up PAPRD training in general, as the hardware won't have to retransmit and wait for ACK timeout (was previously set to 4 * 6 transmission attempts).

Testing shows that adjusting the slot time based on the coverage class produces very high latencies and very low throughput on long distance links. Adjusting only the ACK timeout and leaving the slot time at the regular values - while technically not optimal for CSMA - works a lot better on long links (tested with 10 km distance) Signed-off-by: NFelix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: NJohn W.

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.

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.
