This patch fixes an issue where RX throughput values observed
were substantially lower than TX counterparts for PCIe8897 STA.
PCIe8897 supports larger rx_win_size. After changing these values
we see big improvement for TX and RX throughput values.
Different tx_win_size and rx_win_size are used for AP mode.
All BA setup related initialization has been moved to separate
function.

Marco Fonseca reported a issue with his carl9170 device:
"I'm seeing a problem with the carl driver. If I change channels
repeatedly on the 2.4ghz band, monitoring (e.g. tcpdump) will
eventually halt. I've seen this on various versions of the carl
driver/firmware (both from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7)"
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136381302428113>
The culprit was identified as "fast channel change feature" which
according to Adrian Chadd is: "... notoriously unreliable and
really only fully debugged on some very later chips."
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136416984531380>
Therefore, this patch removes the fast channel change feature.
The phy will now always have to go through a cold reset when
changing channels, but it should no longer become deaf.

Fix settings not being applied when the device is idle and the firmware
gets reloaded (because of changing from STA to AP mode). This caused
the device using the wrong channel (and likely band), e.g. a 5 GHz only
card still defaulted to channel 6 in the 2.4 GHz band when left
unconfigured.
This issue was always present, but only made visible with "mwl8k: Do not
call mwl8k_cmd_set_rf_channel unconditionally" (0f4316b9), since before
that the channel was (re-)configured at the next _config call even when
it did not change from the mac80211 perspective.

It is possible to configure the ucode to automatically send the probe
responses to the clients after they send a probe request. At least for
WPS the userspace needs to answer the probe requests and we do not know
a way to say to the ucode to just handle the normal probe requests, so
for now no probe requests should be handled by the ucode.

When calculating "offset" for final RSSI calibration we're using numbers
bigger than s8 can hold. We have for example:
offset[j] = 232 - poll_results[j];
formula. If poll_results[j] is small enough (it usually is) we treat
number's bit as a sign bit. For example 232 - 1 becomes:
0xE8 - 0x1 = 0xE7, which is not 231 but -25.
This code was introduced in e0c9a0219a

Intermittently, b43 will report "Out of order TX status report on DMA ring".
When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume.
The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source
firmware; however, all versions of the firmware are affected.
This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less
than the observed value, and supplies a fake status report to skip one
header/data pair.
Not all devices suffer from this problem, but it can occur several times
per second under heavy load. As each occurence kills the unmodified driver,
this patch makes if possible for the affected devices to function. The patch
logs only the first instance of the reset operation to prevent spamming
the logs.
