The newer single chip hardware family of chipsets have not been
experiencing issues with power saving set by default with recent
fixes merged (even into stable). The remaining issues are only
reported with AR5416 and since enabling PS by default can increase
power savings considerably best to take advantage of that feature
as this has been tested properly.

For more details on this issue see the bug report:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14267

We leave AR5416 with PS disabled by default, that seems to require
some more work.

 commit 815833e7
    ath9k: fix tx status reporting

was not checking all possible tx error conditions. This could possibly
lead to throughput issues due to slow rate control adaption or missed
retransmissions of failed A-MPDU frames.

This patch adds a mask for all possible error conditions and uses it
in the xmit ok check.

Next, software padding done on TX needs to be removed before calling

This patch fixes a bug in ath9k's tx status check, which
caused mac80211 to consider regularly transmitted unicast frames
as un-acked.
When checking the ts_status field for errors, it needs to be masked
with ATH9K_TXERR_FILT, because this field also contains other fields
like ATH9K_TX_ACKED.
Without this patch, AP mode is pretty much unusable, as hostapd
checks the ACK status for the frames that it injects.

Atheros single stream AR9285 and AR9271 have half the PCU TX FIFO
buffer size of that of dual stream devices. Dual stream devices
have a max PCU TX FIFO size of 8 KB while single stream devices
have 4 KB. Single stream devices have an issue though and require
hardware only to use half of the amount of its capable PCU TX FIFO
size, 2 KB and this requires a change in software.

Technically a change would not have been required (except for frame
burst considerations of 128 bytes) if these devices would have been
able to use the full 4 KB of the PCU TX FIFO size but our systems
engineers recommend 2 KB to be used only. We enforce this through
software by reducing the max frame triggger level to 2 KB.

Fixing the max frame trigger level should then have a few benefits:

  * The PER will now be adjusted as designed for underruns when the
    max trigger level is reached. This should help alleviate the
    bus as the rate control algorithm chooses a slower rate which
    should ensure frames are transmitted properly under high system
    bus load.

  * The poll we use on our TX queues should now trigger and work
    as designed for single stream devices. The hardware passes
    data from each TX queue on the PCU TX FIFO queue respecting each
    queue's priority. The new trigger level ensures this seeding of
    the PCU TX FIFO queue occurs as designed which could mean avoiding
    false resets and actually reseting hw correctly when a TX queue
    is indeed stuck.

  * Some undocumented / unsupported behaviour could have been triggered
    when the max trigger level level was being set to 4 KB on single
    stream devices. Its not clear what this issue was to me yet.

When mac80211 was telling us to go into Powersave we listened
and immediately turned RX off. This meant hardware would not
see the ACKs from the AP we're associated with and hardware
we'd end up retransmiting the null data frame in a loop
helplessly.

Fix this by keeping track of the transmitted nullfunc frames
and only when we are sure the AP has sent back an ACK do we
go ahead and shut RX off.
