ath9k's entire logic with SC_OP_SCANNING is incorrect due to the
way mac80211 currently implements the scan complete callback and
we handle it in ath9k. This patch removes the flag completely in
preference for the SC_OP_OFFCHANNEL which is really what we wanted.

The scanning flag was used to ensure we reset ANI to the old values
when we go back to the home channel, but if we are offchannel we
use some defaults. The flag was also used to re-enable the TX monitor.

Without this patch we simply never re-enabled ANI and the TX monitor
after going offchannel. This means that after one background
scan we are prone to noise issues and if we had a TX hang we would
not recover. To get this to work properly we must enable ANI after
we have configured the beacon timers, otherwise hardware acts really
oddly.

This patch has stable fixes which apply down to [2.6.36+], there
*may* be a to fix this on older kernels but requires a bit of
work since this patch relies on the new mac80211 flag
IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which was introduced as of 2.6.36.

ath9k has a race on putting the chip into network sleep and
having registers read from hardware. The race occurs because
although ath9k_ps_restore() locks its own callers it makes use
of some variables which get altered in the driver at different
code paths. The variables are the ps_enabled and ps_flags.

This is easily reprodicible in large network environments when
roaming with the wpa_supplicant simple bgscan. You'd get some
0xdeadbeef read out on certain registers such as:

ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x806c: 0xdeadbeef & 0x01f00000 != 0x00000000
ath: RX failed to go idle in 10 ms RXSM=0xdeadbeef

ath: timeout (100000 us) on reg 0x7000: 0xdeadbeef & 0x00000003 != 0x00000000
ath: Chip reset failed

The fix is to protect the ath9k_config(hw, IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_PS)
calls with a spin_lock_irqsave() which will disable contendors for
these variables from interrupt context, timers, re-entry from mac80211
on the same callback, and most importantly from ath9k_ps_restore()
which is the only call which will put the device into network sleep.

There are quite a few threads and bug reports on these a few of them are:

According to the hardware documentation, the MIC failure bit is only
valid if the frame was decrypted using a valid TKIP key and is not a

ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess nulls rxs and the mactime is never set again -
mactime is always 0. This causes problems in IBSS mode.

ieee80211_rx_bss_info uses mactime to decide if an IBSS merge is needed.
Without this patch the merge is triggered by each beacon received.

This can be recognized by the "beacon TSF higher than local TSF - IBSS
merge with BSSID" log message accompanying each beacon.

This problem was not completely fixed in commit
a6d2055b and is not a stable kernel fix.
It is solely intended for wireless-testing.

AR5416 and all newer chipsets use a 32 bit rx timestamp, so there
is no need to keep the 15 bit timestamp extending logic around.

This patch removes ath9k_hw_extend_tsf (replaced by a call to
ath9k_hw_gettsf64), and reduces the frequency of TSF reads, which
can improve performance in some cases.

This change also has the side effect of making rx timestamps

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.
