2013-04-08ath9k: add support for DFS master modeZefir Kurtisi
These are the remaining knobs in ath9k to support DFS: * mark AR9280 and AR9580 as DFS tested * synchronize DFS regulatory domain to reg notifyer * set required RX filter flags for radar detection * process radar PHY errors at DFS detector * notify DFS master on radar detection DFS support requires CONFIG_ATH9K_DFS_CERTIFIED to be set.

2013-04-03ath9k: Re-enable interrupts after a channel change failureRobert Shade
ath_complete_reset will not be called if ath9k_hw_reset is unsuccessful, so we need to re-enable intertupts to balence the previous ath_prepare_reset call. Also schedule a reset as a best effort method to recover the chip from whatever state caused the channel change failure.

2013-03-18ath9k: limit tx path hang check to normal data queuesFelix Fietkau
The beacon and multicast-buffer queues are managed by the beacon tasklet, and the generic tx path hang check does not help in any way here. Running it on those queues anyway can introduce some race conditions leading to unnecessary chip resets.

2013-03-18ath9k_hw: revert chainmask to user configuration after calibrationFelix Fietkau
The commit 'ath9k_hw: fix calibration issues on chainmask that don't include chain 0' changed the hardware chainmask to the chip chainmask for the duration of the calibration, but the revert to user configuration in the reset path runs too early. That causes some issues with limiting the number of antennas (including spurious failure in hardware-generated packets). Fix this by reverting the chainmask after the essential parts of the calibration that need the workaround, and before NF calibration is run.

2013-03-18mac80211: pass queue bitmap to flush operationJohannes Berg

2013-02-27ath9k_hw: improve reset reliability after errorsFelix Fietkau
On many different chips, important aspects of the MAC state are not fully cleared by a warm reset. This can show up as tx/rx hangs, those annoying "DMA failed to stop in 10 ms..." messages or other quirks. On AR933x, the chip can occasionally get stuck in a way that only a driver unload/reload or a reboot would bring it back to life. With this patch, a full reset is issued when bringing the chip out of FULL-SLEEP state (after idle), or if either Rx or Tx was not shut down properly. This makes the DMA related error messages disappear completely in my tests on AR933x, and the chip does not get stuck anymore.

2013-02-27ath9k_htc: fix signal strength handling issuesFelix Fietkau
The ath9k commit 2ef167557c0a26c88162ecffb017bfcc51eb7b29 (ath9k: fix signal strength reporting issues) fixed an issue where the reported per-frame signal strength reported to mac80211 was being overwritten with an internal average. The same issue is also present in ath9k_htc. In addition to preventing the driver from overwriting the value, this commit also ensures that the internal average (which is used for ANI) only tracks beacons of the AP that we're connected to.

2013-02-15mac80211: stop toggling IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40Johannes Berg
For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the station. Of course, make all drivers use it. To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities, so it can set up the new bandwidth field. If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use, also set the bandwidth accordingly. Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of the current setting. While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it really happens...)

2013-02-11ath9k: Fix IBSS joiner modeSujith Manoharan
On joining an existing IBSS network, beaconing has to start only after a TSF sync has happened by receiving a beacon from the BSS. In creator mode, beaconing can start immediately after a HW reset has been done. Now that mac80211 notifies the driver of the mode type (creator/joiner) via ieee80211_bss_conf->ibss_creator, make use of it to properly setup the HW beacon timers.

2013-01-30ath9k: Update spectral scan output dataSven Eckelmann
The sample data received through the spectral scan can be either in big or little endian byteorder. This information isn't stored in the output file. Therefore it is not possible for the analyzer software to find the correct byte order. It is relative common to get the data from a low end AP in big endian mode and transfer it to another computer in little endian mode to analyze it. Therefore, it would be better to store it in network (big endian) byte order. The extension of the 8 bit bins for each bin to 16 bit is not necessary. This operation can be done in userspace or on a different machine. Instead the max_exp defining the amount of shifting required for each bin is exported to userspace. The change of the output format requires a change of the type in the sample tlv to allow the userspace program to correctly detect the bin format.

2013-01-30ath9k: reorder error codes for spectralSimon Wunderlich
When using the spectral scan feature, frames with phy errors are returned for further processing to the driver. However, if the frames also have an invalid CRC (which seems to happen quite often), the frame is marked with bad CRC and not with the PHY error bit. The FFT processing function will thus miss the frames. Fix this by changing the precedence in error marking.
