The hardware needs to know what type of frames are being
sent in order to fill in various fields, for example the
timestamp in probe responses (before this patch, it was
always 0). Set it correctly when initializing the TX
descriptor.

The beacon sent gating doesn't seem to work with any combination
of flags. Thus, buffered frames tend to stay buffered forever,
using up tx descriptors.
Instead, use the DBA gating and hold transmission of the buffered
frames until 80% of the beacon interval has elapsed using the ready
time. This fixes the following error in AP mode:
ath5k phy0: no further txbuf available, dropping packet
Add a comment to acknowledge that this isn't the best solution.

The callback sets slot time as specified in IEEE 802.11-2007 section
17.3.8.6 (for 20MHz channels only for now) and raises ACK and CTS
timeouts accordingly. The values are persistent, they are restored after
device reset.

The original code was correct in 802.11a mode only, 802.11b/g uses
different clock rates. The new code uses values taken from FreeBSD HAL
and should be correct for all modes including turbo modes.
The former rate calculation was used by slope coefficient calculation
function ath5k_hw_write_ofdm_timings. However, this function requires
the 802.11a values even in 802.11g mode. Thus the use of
ath5k_hw_htoclock was replaced by hardcoded values. Possibly the slope
coefficient calculation is not related to clock rate at all.

This updates ath5k to calibrate the noise floor similar to the
way it is done in the madwifi hal and ath9k. Of note:
- we start NF measurement at the same time as AGC calibration,
but do not actually read the value until the periodic (long)
calibration
- we keep a history of the last few values read and write the
median back to the hardware for CCA
- we do not complain if NF calibration isn't complete, instead
we keep the last read value.

We have access to common->curbssid and common->curaid so just
use those. Note that common->curaid is always 0 so this keeps
our current behaviour of always using 0 for now. Once we fix
storing the association ID passed by mac80211 this will
require no changes here.

We can propagate better errors upon failed hw initialization,
and set up the ath_common structure for attach purposes. This
will become important once we start using the ath_common
for read/write ops.

The ah_sta_id was really being used as the macaddr.
ath5k still does not use the association ID now passed
up by mac80211, that can be fixed later.

Historically some macro helpers have been users for this,
AR5K_LOW_ID() and AR5K_HIGH_ID(), use upstream unaligned
helpers instead. This applid to ath5k and ar9170. ath9k
already uses this.
Worth noting is ath5k uses an ah_sta_id but that is already
the MAC address combined with the associaiton ID, ah_sta_id
is really ETH_ALEN in size.

AR5K_SREV is available even if the chip has been put to sleep. Relying
on the chip register allows binding non-standard PCI IDs by
echo VENDOR_ID PRODUCT_ID >/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ath5k/new_id
without having to specify the driver data as well.

As Pavel Roskin noted, the check for mac version as copied from
legacy_hal made no sense. This replaces it with the equivalent
and makes up a suitable #define for the mac version legacy_hal
checked.

* Get rid of calibration timer, instead use a software interrupt
to schedule the calibration tasklet.
a) We don't need a timer for this, there is no need for accuracy
even with round_jiffies i think this is a waste of resources.
Also we don't need to run calibration if we are idle (no
interrupts).
b) When we add ANI support we 'll just extend the poll function
and calibration tasklet and handle all periodic phy calibration
on one place (much cleaner).
c) Having calibration on a tasklet is better since during calibration
we can't transmit or receive (antennas are detached to measure
noise floor), previously calibration could run in parallel with
tx/rx and interfere (packet loss).
v2: kill tasklet on stop_hw, stop/wake queues
v3: use time_is_before_eq_jiffies to compare timestamp with current
time

ah_gpios array isn't used, and ah_current_channel can be a pointer
instead of an embedded struct. Removing these and some other
write-only variables, and moving some things around for better
packing and cache utilization saves 116 bytes.

Always enable rfkill since the ifdefs in the code is not really worth
the Kconfig option. Also fix a few code style things, and remove the
usage of the ah_gpio[] array so we can remove it later.

This patch introduces initial rfkill support for the ath5k driver
based on rfkill support in the cfg80211 framework.
All rfkill related code is separated into newly created rfkill.c.
Changes to existing code are minimal:
* added a new data structure ath5k_rfkill to the ath5k_softc structure
* inserted calls to HW rfkill init/deinit routines
* ath5k_intr() has been extended to handle AR5K_INT_GPIO interrupts

* Add code to support the various antenna scenarios supported by hw
* For now hardcode the default scenario (single or dual omnis with
tx/rx diversity working and tx antenna handled by session -hw keeps
track on which antenna it got ack from each ap/station and maps each
ap/station to one of the antennas-).

* Now that we have regulatory control enable the driver to set
txpower on hw
* Also use txpower table offset so that we can match
power range set by user/driver with indices on power table.
Tested 2 different cards (a CM9 and an RF5112-based ubnt) and got
the same output using a remote machine to measure per-packet rssi
(conected the cards using attenuators). I also switched between
various tx power levels and i saw an equal power change on the remote
machine (so txpower changes as expected) and verified that we have
the same output on each rate.
