There is a small window where the mac80211 changes the IEEE80211_CONF_PS
flag, and then informs the driver about the change. We have a race
condition if we are checking the flag in the same time. Avoid it by
introducing a local variable, and using that instead of checking the
IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag directly.

This fix the problem reported by Luis:

The hardware doesn't generate interrupts in some cases and so work
around this by monitoring the TX status periodically and reset the
chip if required.

This behavior of the hardware not generating the TX interrupts can
be noticed through ath9k debugfs interrupt statistics when heavy
traffic is being sent from STA to AP. One can easily see this behavior
when the STA is transmitting at a higher rates. The interrupt statistics
in the debugfs interface clearly shows that only RX interrupts alone
being generated and TX being stuck.

TX should be monitored through a timer and reset the chip only when
frames are queued to the hardware but TX interrupts are not generated
for the same even after one second. Also, we shouldn't remove holding
descriptor from AC queue if it happens to be the only descriptor and
schedule TX aggregation regarless of queue depth as it improves
scheduling of AMPDUs from software to hardware queue.

Running iperf along with p2p traffic on both TX and RX side then
stop one side, then stop the other side, then start it up again,
eventually the STA gets into a mode that it can not pass data at
all.

A hardware workaround for invalid RSSI can make FIFO write pointer
to jump over read pointer, causing RX data corruption and repeated
DMA. Both TX and RX works fine when the workaround is disabled.

To replace the original hardware work around, software looks for
frames with post delimiter CRC error and mark the RSSI invalid so
that the upperlayer will not use the RSSI associated with this
frame. So disable the hardware workaround by updating the appropriate
registers.

RSSI reported by the RX descriptor requires little manipulation.
Manipulate and report the correct RSSI to the stack. This will
fix the improper signal levels reported by iwconfig iw dev wlanX
station dump. Also the Link Quality reported seems to be varying
(falls to zero also sometimes) when iperf is run from STA to AP.

Also use the default noise floor for now as the one reported
during the caliberation seems to be wrong.

and the private rate control data is NULL. We add a hlper to mac80211
