066dae93bd ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix queue stopping/waking
The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.

The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).

This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.

To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).

It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).

To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.

d70357d569 ath9k_hw: start building an abstraction layer for hardware routines
ath9k supports the AR5008, AR9001 and AR9002 family of Atheros
chipsets, all 802.11n. The new breed of 802.11n chips, the
AR9003 family will be supported as well soon. To help with its
support we're going to add a few callbacks for hardware routines
which differ considerably instead of adding branch checks for
the revision at runtime.

0995d11011 ath9k_common: Move RX filter code to ath9k_htc
The calculation of RX filter is fairly different
between ath9k and ath9k_htc, trying to make this
common between the two drivers would result in code churn.

While at it, remove the handling of PSPOLL filter,
it can be added when(if) AP support is added to ath9k_htc.

1bc1488067 ath9k: Proper padding/unpadding for the TX/RX path.
Software padding is done on the TX path and software unpadding is done on the
RX path. This patch corrects the position where the padding occurs. A specific
function computes the pad position and this function is used in the TX and RX
path. This patch has been tested by generating every possible 802.11 frames
with every possible frame_control field and a varying length. This patch is
useful for analyzing non standard 802.11 frames going over the air

e7824a5066 ath9k: fix processing of TX PS null data frames
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.

db86f07ec6 ath9k_common: add new module to share 802.11n driver helpers
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.
