Since the driver split, there's no need for no_agg_framecnt_info since
all devices have this set to false. Secondly, the compressed block ack
handling code was broken. Fix this.

(1) A shift less than zero simply implies that the buffer wrapped, this
is expected. Remove the incorrect comment.

(2) The (agg->frame_count > (64-sh)) condition can happen if the last
frame is dropped. E.g., if I send 7 frames and the 6th is received but
the 7th is lost, the other side may only shift the window 6, not 7
frames since the last bit is a 0. This is perfectly fine behavior and
doesn't invalidate the feedback.

(3) Store the feedback from a Compressed BA in the first newly received
frame, rather than the start of the window. This way it will get
processed by the rate selection code. Feedback stored in a non-received
frame is likely to get overwritten by the retransmission.
    This is based on the approach taken by minstrel_ht.

When filling out its rate scale table, iwlwifi repeats the first HT rate
IWL_HT_NUMBER_TRY times. The hardware scheduler will stop using
aggregation for any frame that fails LINK_QUAL_AGG_DISABLE_START_DEF
times. Currently, both these constants equal 3.

If iwlwifi probes a faster rate than the link supports, all frames in a
(potentially tens of frames large) batch will fail IWL_HT_NUMBER_TRY
times. Because this happens to be as large as
LINK_QUAL_AGG_DISABLE_START_DEF, all frames will then be sent
individually. This leads to a short, but performance-degrading window
where the legacy stop-and-wait MAC takes over.

Bounding the initial rate by (LINK_QUAL_AGG_DISABLE_START_DEF-1)
attempts makes the third try use a lower rate and hence more be likely
to succeed. This somewhat mitigates the above described behavior.

When running an AP interface along with the cooked monitor interface created
by hostapd, adding an interface and deleting it again triggers a channel type
recalculation during which the (non-HT) monitor interface takes precedence
over the HT AP interface, thus causing the channel type to be set to non-HT.
Fix this by ensuring that a more wide channel type will not be overwritten
by a less wide channel type.

ath9k calls ath9k_hw_stoptxdma every time it sends a beacon, however there
is not much point in doing that if the previous beacon and mcast traffic
went out properly. On AR9380, calling that function too often can result
in an increase of stuck beacons due to differences in the handling of the
queue enable/disable functionality.

With this patch, the queue will only be explicitly stopped if the previous
data frames were not sent successfully. With the beacon code being the
only remaining user of ath9k_hw_stoptxdma, this function can be simplified
in order to remove the now pointless attempts at waiting for transmission
completion, which would never happen at this point due to the different
method of tx scheduling of the beacon queue.

In some situations, stopping Tx DMA frequently fails, leading to messages
like this:

ath: Failed to stop TX DMA in 100 msec after killing last frame
ath: Failed to stop TX DMA!

This patch uses a few MAC features to abort DMA globally instead of iterating
over all hardware queues and attempting to stop them individually.
Not only is that faster and works with a shorter timeout, it also makes the
process much more reliable.

With this change, I can no longer trigger these messages on AR9380,
and on AR9280 they become much more rare.

If dynamic_ps is disabled, enabling power save before the 4-way
handshake completes may delay the station from being authorized to
send/receive traffic, i.e. increase roaming times. It also may result in
a failed 4-way handshake depending on the AP's timing requirements and
beacon interval, and the station's listen interval.

To fix this, prevent power save from being enabled while the station
isn't authorized and recalculate power save whenever the station's
authorized state changes.

The hardware rx filter flag triggered by FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS is overly broad
and covers even frames with PHY errors. When this flag is enabled, this message
shows up frequently during scanning or hardware resets:

ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up

Since promiscuous mode is usually not particularly useful, yet enabled by
default by bridging (either used normally in 4-addr mode, or with hacks
for various virtualization software), we should sacrifice it for better
reliability during normal operation.

This patch leaves it enabled if there are active monitor mode interfaces, since
it's very useful for debugging.

While working on PS I've noticed elp_work is kicking rather often, and
sometimes the chip is put to sleep before 5ms delay expires. This
seems to happen because by the time wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup is called
elp_work might still be pending. After wakeup is done, the processing
may take some time, during which 5ms might expire and elp_work might
get scheduled. In this case, ss soon as 1st thread finishes work and
releases the mutex, elp_work will then put the device to sleep without
5ms delay. In addition 1st thread will queue additional elp_work
needlessly.

Fix this by cancelling work in wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup instead.

wl1251_ps_set_elp() only does acx_sleep_auth call and takes the chip
from/to ELP, however all callers of wl1251_ps_set_mode() have already
taken the chip out of ELP and puts it back to ELP when they finish.
This makes ELP calls (and register writes they result in) superfluous.

So remove wl1251_ps_set_elp function and call acx_sleep_auth directly.

Usually H/W generate statistics notify once per about 100ms, but
sometimes we can receive notify in shorter time, even 2 ms.

This can be problem for plcp health and ack health checking.

I.e. with 2 plcp errors happens randomly in 2 ms duration, we
exceed plcp delta threshold equal to 100 (2*100/2).

Also checking ack's in short time, can results not necessary false
positive and firmware reset, for example when channel is noised and
we do not receive ACKs frames or when remote device does not send
ACKs at the moment.

Patch change code to do statistic check and possible recovery only
if 99ms elapsed from last check. Forced delay should assure we have
good statistic data to estimate hardware state.
