The recent commit "ath9k: Send legacy rated frames as unaggregated"
introduced a check to ensure that packets with non-MCS rates set in
the rate series will not be aggregated. However, it failed to check
if the rate series is valid before testing the flags, thus breaking
aggregation for normal MCS-only packets if the last series is unset.

Currently the aggregation is formed till the aggregation limit
is reached and the rate lookup is done for the first frame alone.
But there can be a legacy rated frames in tid queue. This patch
limits the subframe addition based on presence of legacy rate and
sends the legacy rated frames as unaggregated one.

The received tx status of aggregated frame without BlockAck may
cause deaf state in AR5416 cards. So the driver does a reset to
recover. When this happens, we release the pcu_lock before doing
a reset as ath_rest acquires pcu_lock. This is ugly and also not
atomic. Fixing this addresses the TX DMA failure also.

ath_tx_complete_aggr can be called from different paths which
takes different variants of spin_lock. This patch also addresses
the following warning.

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually).

To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction"
definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h
via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h".
Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible
on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier.

Hope people are OK with tiny include file.

Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story.

EDMA based chips (AR9380+) have 8 Tx FIFO slots, which are used to fix the
tx queue start/stop race conditions which have to be worked around for
earlier chips by keeping the last descriptor in the queue. The current code
stores all frames that do not fit onto the 8 FIFO slots in a separate
list. Whenever a FIFO slot is freed up, the next frame (or A-MPDU) from the
pending queue gets moved to that slot.

This process is not only inefficient, but also unnecessary. The code can
be improved visibly by keeping the pending queue fully linked, and moving
the contents of the entire queue to a FIFO slot as it becomes available.

This patch makes the necessary changes for that and also merges some code
that was duplicated for EDMA vs non-EDMA. It changes txq->axq_link to point
to the last descriptor instead of the link pointer, so that
ath9k_hw_set_desc_link can be used, which works on all chips.

With this patch, a small performance increase for non-aggregated traffic
was observed on AR9380 based embedded hardware.

This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being
sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations.
This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting
of A-MDPU subframes.
Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every
single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT
for unaggregated frames.
A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they
enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure
that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state.
Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter
needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.

Kernel panic occurs just after AR2427 establishes connection with AP.
Unless aggregation is enabled we don't initialize the TID structure.
Thus accesing the elements of the TID structure when aggregation is
disabled, leads to NULL pointer dereferencing.

Not only is that faster and works with a shorter timeout, it also makes the

Spin_lock has been tried to be acquired twice from ath9k_tasklet
to ath_reset which resulted in a machine freeze.

When this PLL hang issue is seen, both Rx and Tx fail to work.
The sqsum_dvc needs to be below 2000 for a good chip. During
this issue the sqsum_dvc value is beyond 80000 and only a
full reset can solve this problem.

Various places printing tx queue information used various different ways to
get a tx queue index for printing statistics. Most of these ways were wrong.

ATH_TXQ_AC_* cannot be used as an index for sc->tx.txq, because it is only
used internally for queue assignment.

One place used WME_AC_* as a queue index for sc->debug.stats.txstats, however
this array uses the ath9k_hw queue number as well.

Fix all of this by always using the ath9k_hw queue number as an index, and
always looking it up by going through sc->tx.txq_map.
