of each received frame with the value reported by the Atheros hardware. This
patch is useful if you are trying to analyze non standard 802.11 frame going

The entire aggregation code currently operates on the

change to make stations purely per-vif; As one step
preparing for that make the aggregation code callable
with the station, or by the combination of virtual

* Remove a code chunk dealing with operating mode changes.
  As noted, all such policy changes are to be done in
  add_interface.

* Remove pointless check for empty BSSID.
  Also, remove mode checks - mac80211 does all the needed checks.

* Handle enabling/disabling beacon transmission properly.

* Handle beacon interval changes for AP mode.
  The original code depended on config_interface() to update
  the HW TSF. Since that callback has been removed, handle

* Remove unneeded code dealing with key/privacy.

Jumbograms are frames put together linked together through
more than one descriptor. For example ath9k_htc will use this
to send from the target a large frame split up into 2 or more
segments. The driver then would be in charge of putting the
frame back together.

When jumbograms are constructed the rx_stats->rs_more will
bet set and rx_stats->rs_status will not have any valid content
as the actual status will only be avialable at the end of
the chained descriptors.

ath9k and ath9k_htc share a lot of common hardware characteristics.
They only differ in that ath9k_htc works with a target CPU and ath9k
works directly with the hardware. ath9k_htc will do *some* things in
the firmware, but a lot of others on the host.

The common 802.11n hardware code is already shared through the ath9k_hw
module. Common helpers amongst all Atheros drivers can use the ath module,
this includes ath5k and ar9170 as users. But there is some common driver
specific helpers which are not exactly hardware code which ath9k and
ath9k_htc can share. We'll be using ath9k_common for this to avoid
bloating the ath module and the common 802.11n hardware module ath9k_hw.

We start by sharing skb pre and post processing in preparation for a hand
off to mac80211.

The skb->cb (control buffer, 48 bytes) is available to the skb
upon skb allocation. You can fill it up imediately after skb
allocation. ath9k was copying onto the skb->cb the data from the
processed skb for mac80211 from a stack struct ieee80211_rx_status
structure. This is unnecessary, instead use the skb->cb for the
rx status immediately after the skb becomes available and DMA
synched.

Additionally, avoid the copy of the skb->cb also for virtual wiphys
as skb_copy() will copy over the skb->cb for us as well.

ath9k virtual wiphys all share the same internal buffer space
for TX but they do not share the mac80211 skb queues. When
ath9k detects it is running low on buffer space to TX it tells
mac80211 to stop sending it skbs its way but it always does
this only for the primary wiphy. This means mac80211 won't know
its best to avoid sending ath9k more skbs on a separate virtual
wiphy. The same issue is present for reliving the skb queue.

Since ath9k does not keep track of which virtual wiphy is hammering
on TX silence all wiphy's TX when we're low on buffer space. When
we're free on buffer space only bother informing the virtual wiphy
which is active that we have free buffers.

We use the ieee80211_hw for radio enable/disable but the wrong
structure hw was being used in consideration for virtual wiphys
as each virtual wiphy has its own ieee80211_hw struct.

Just pass the hw struct to ensure we use the right one. This should
fix the hw used and passed for radio enable/disable. This includes
the stoping / starting of the software TX queues so mac80211 doesn't
send us data for a specific virtual wiphy. ath9k already takes care
of pausing virtual wiphys and stopping the respective queues on its
own, but this should handle the idle mac80211 conf calls as well.

The way idle configuration detection was implemented as
busted due to the fact that it assumed the ath9k virtual wiphy,
the aphy, would be marked as inactive if it was not used but
it turns out an aphy is always active if its the only wiphy
present. We need to distinguish between aphy activity and
idleness so we now add an idle bool for the aphy and mark
it as such based on the passed IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE
from mac80211.

Previous to all_wiphys_idle would never be true when using
only one device so we never really were using
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE -- we never turned the radio
off or on upon IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE changes as radio
changes depended on all_wiphys_idle being true either to
turn the radio on or off. Since it was always false for
one device this code was doing nothing.

Force bias is a fix for usage of AR5416 radios on the 2.4 GHz band
for orientation sensitivity. This was only partially implemented
with the ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() but first -- this was being
called for all chipsets which is not correct and second -- it was
missing the actual orientation code.

We now ensure to only enable force bias only for AR5416 and BUG_ON()
on other chipsets. Although ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() was enabled
for newer chipsets I suspect that it never ran unless the EEPROM had
ATH9K_ANT_FIXED_A or ATH9K_ANT_FIXED_B for antenna diversity.
