2010-10-06mac80211: avoid transmitting delBA to old APJohannes Berg
When roaming while we have active BA session, we can end up transmitting delBA frames to the old AP while we're already on the new AP's channel, which can cause warnings. Simply avoid sending those frames, but still tear down the internal session state, since they are not really necessary anyway as we will implicitly disassociate when sending the association to the new AP.

drv_config callback is called only after the ack for the nullframe is received and so driver need not do anything special for this. So remove NULLFUNC_COMPLETED, PS_ENABLED flags and bf_isnullfunc flags from ath9k as mac80211 already handles them properly.

2010-10-06ath9k_hw: clean up ANI state handlingFelix Fietkau
ANI state is kept per channel, so instead of keeping an array of ANI states with an arbitrary size of 255, move the ANI state into the channel struct. Move some config settings that are not per-channel out of the per-channel struct to save some memory. With those changes, ath9k_ani_restart_old and ath9k_ani_restart_new can be merged into a single function. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.

2010-10-06ath9k_hw: merge codepaths that access the cycle counter registersFelix Fietkau
The cycle counters are used by ANI to determine the amount of time that the radio spent not receiving or transmitting. They're also used for debugging purposes if the baseband watchdog on AR9003 detects a lockup. In the future, we want to use these counters to determine the medium utilization and export this information via survey. For that, we need to make sure that the counter is only accessed from one place, which also ensures that wraparounds won't occur at inconvenient points in time.

2010-10-06ath9k_hw: clean up calibration flagsFelix Fietkau
The calibration actual calibration flags are only used by the per chip family source files, so it makes more sense to define them in those files instead of globally. That way the code has to test for less flags. Also instead of using a separate callback for testing whether a particular calibration type is supported, simply adjust ah->supp_cals in the calibration init which is called right after the hardware reset, before any of the calibrations are run.

2010-10-06mac80211: delete AddBA response timerJohannes Berg
We never delete the addBA response timer, which is typically fine, but if the station it belongs to is deleted very quickly after starting the BA session, before the peer had a chance to reply, the timer may fire after the station struct has been freed already. Therefore, we need to delete the timer in a suitable spot -- best when the session is being stopped (which will happen even then) in which case the delete will be a no-op most of the time. I've reproduced the scenario and tested the fix.

2010-10-05rt2x00: Work around hw aggregation oddity in rt2800Helmut Schaa
If a frame is not meant to be sent as AMPDU or part of it the hw might still decide to aggregate this frame if a previous frame started an AMPDU. However, this will limit the usefulness of the reported tx rate since the reported rate will be the one specified in the TXWI of the first frame and thus it is not possible to reliably caculate the number of retrys by substracting the reported tx rate from the tx rate in the TXWI. To fix this issue, only report the successful rate for frames that were not meant to be aggregated but ended up in an aggregate. Example: Frame A (MCS7, AMPDU=1) B (MCS7, AMPDU=1) C (MCS12, AMDPU=0, PROBE_RATE) Although frame C shoudn't be aggregated the hw might sill put it into an AMPDU together with A and B. If the transmission succeeds the tx status will contain MCS7 for all three frames. In that case we should only report MCS7 as success rate and avoid reporting MCS12-MCS8 as failed tx attempts as this will affect the future rate control decisions. This oddity might strike us in other scenarious as well but the most common "wrong" report happened for frames used to probe a different tx rate. This improves the rate control decisions notable.

2010-10-05rt2x00: Update comment about the AMPDU flag in the TXWIHelmut Schaa
During testing with AMPDUs it turned out that the rt2800 hw will aggregate consecutive frames with the same RA and TID when the first frame in a possible aggregate has set AMPDU=1 in the TXWI. If a following frame has set AMPDU=0 in its TXWI it might sill end up in the aggregate of the previous frame. Update the comment accordingly.
