When not aggregating packets, fi->framelen should be passed in as length
to calculate the duration. Before the tx path rework, ath_tx_fill_desc
was called for either one aggregate, or one single frame, with the
length of the packet or the aggregate as a parameter.
After the rework, ath_tx_sched_aggr can pass a burst of single frames to
ath_tx_fill_desc and sets len=0.
Fix broken duration calculation by overriding the length in ath_tx_fill_desc
before passing it to ath_buf_set_rate.

TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF
exposure limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a
measure of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density
for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
governmental SAR regulations.
In the examples below, for more bit rate options see the iw TX bitrate
setting documentation:

When a packet is passed from mac80211 to the driver with the
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_PS_RESPONSE flag set, it bypasses the normal driver
internal queueing and goes directly to the UAPSD queue.
When that happens, packets that are part of a BlockAck session still
need to be tracked as such inside the driver, otherwise it will create
discrepancies in the receiver BA reorder window, causing traffic stalls.
This only happens in AP mode with powersave-enabled clients.

The ath9k xmit functions for AMPDUs can send frames as non-aggregate in case
only one frame is currently available. The client will then answer using a
normal Ack instead of a BlockAck. This acknowledgement has no TID stored and
therefore the hardware is not able to provide us the corresponding TID.
The TID set by the hardware in the tx status descriptor has to be seen as
undefined and not as a valid TID value for normal acknowledgements. Doing
otherwise results in a massive amount of retransmissions and stalls of
connections.
Users may experience low bandwidth and complete connection stalls in
environments with transfers using multiple TIDs.

The TX filter bit for a station would be set by the HW

ATH9K_TXERR_FILT status only when the corresponding filter bit
for the destination station is already set.
Currently, un-acknowledged packets are added to the pending queue
and retried, but the "clear_dest_mask" bit in the descriptor is
set only when the TX status has been ATH9K_TXERR_FILT. This results
in packet loss and the log shows:
wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746071
wlan0: dropped TX filtered frame, queue_len=0 PS=0 @4309746076

I merely installed coccinelle, read the documentation and took credit.

The commit "ath9k: simplify tx locking" introduced a soft lockup triggered
by mac80211 sending a BAR frame triggered by a driver call to
ieee80211_tx_send_bar or ieee80211_tx_status.
Fix these issues by queueing processed tx status skbs and submitting them
to mac80211 outside of the lock.

Add ATH_DBG_ to macros to shorten the uses and
reduce the line count.
Coalesce ath_dbg formats.
Add missing spaces to coalesced formats.
Add missing newline terminations to ath_dbg formats.
Align ath_dbg arguments where appropriate.
Standardize ath_dbg formats without periods.

Instead of releasing and taking back the lock over and over again in the
tx path, hold the lock a bit longer, requiring much fewer lock/unlock pairs.
This makes locking much easier to review and should not have any noticeable
performance/latency impact.

tid->seq_next is initialized on A-MPDU start anyway, and the comment next
to this chunk of code seems to be bogus as well.

When processing A-MPDU tx status, only send a BAR for the failed packet
with the highest sequence number.

Instead of limiting a subframe to 10 A-MPDU software transmission attempts,
count hardware retransmissions as well and raise the limit a bit. That way
there will be fewer software retransmission attempts when traffic suffers
from lots of hardware retransmissions.

After waking up from full sleep, registers are accessible, but rx/tx
typically fails. A fast channel change will not recover from this, so
ensure that a full-sleep -> wake transition is always followed by a full
reset.
The reason why this hasn't created any serious problems yet is that it's
hidden by the (wrong) behavior of enabling/disabling the radio when the
wiphy idle state changes.

When tx agg is being stopped TID is flushed using ath_tx_flush_tid. It
is possible that ath_tx_flush_tid completelly flushes TID (if all
packets in this TID have already been retried). If this happened
ath_tx_aggr_stop would leave TID in cleanup state permanently.
Fix this by making ath_tx_flush_tid remove AGGR_ADDBA_COMPLETE and
AGGR_CLEANUP flags from TID status if TID is empty.

AR9462 chips have the capabilities to provoide bluetooth
profile information. For non-AR9462 btcoex chips, the BT
priority traffic was identified by periodically polling
the respective registers and updated dutycycle, stomptype,
etc. As AR9462 chip offers the BT profile informations,
let us make use of that to update aggregation limit,
dutycycle, stomptype and wieghtages.
