The AR5212 based NICs have a variety of RF frontends, so there's a linker set
which the AR5212 attach routine calls. The same framework is used for the
AR5416 and later but as there's a fixed RF frontend for each 11n NIC, it
is just directly attached.
However in the case of compiling a cut down HAL (eg _just_ AR9130 WMAC support),
the linker set ends up being empty and this causes the compile to fail.
So this is just a workaround for that - it means those users who wish an 11n
only HAL can compile the 11n chipsets and RF frontend they need, and just
"ath_ar5212" for the AR5212/AR5416 common code, and it'll just work.

I need to investigate this a little closer, but it seems that in noisy
environments the NF load takes longer than 5 * DELAY(10) and this is
messing up future NF calibrations. (The background: NF calibrations
begin at the value programmed in after the load has completed, so
if this is never loaded in, the NF calibrations only ever start at
the currently calibrated NF value, rather than starting at something
high (say -50.)
More investigation about the effect on 11n RX and calibration results
are needed.

The AR5416 MAC (which shows up in the AR5008, AR9001, AR9002 devices) has

that register access is serialised through a (global for now) spinlock.

Instead, just leave the baseband NF calibration where it is and just read it

The AR5008/AR9001 series NICs have a bug where BB register reads
will occasionally be corrupted. This could cause issues with things
such as ANI, which adjust operational parameters based on the
BB radio register reads. This was introduced in the AR5008 chip
and fixed with the first released AR9002 series NIC (AR9280v2.)
A followup commit will implement the acutal WAR when reading
BB registers. I'm still not sure how I'll implement it - whether
it should be done in the osdep layer, or whether it should just
live in the AR5416 HAL. Either way, they can use this capability
bit to determine whether to implement the WAR or not.
Thankyou to various sources inside Atheros who have helped me track

Pre-11n devices and AR5416 use AR_PHY(263) for current RX RSSI.
AR9130 and later have a fourth calibration register (for doing
ADC calibration) and thus the register has moved to AR_PHY(271).
This isn't currently used by any of the active code; I'm committing
this for completeness and in case any third party code attempts to
use it for legacy reasons.
* The AR_ISR_RAC interrupt processing method has a subtle bug in all
the MAC revisions (including pre-11n NICs) until AR9300v2.
If you're unlucky, the clear phase clears an update to one of the
secondary registers, which includes TX status.
This shows up as a "watchdog timeout" if you're doing very low levels
of TX traffic. If you're doing a lot of non-11n TX traffic, you'll
end up receiving a TX interrupt from some later traffic anyway.
But when TX'ing 11n aggregation session traffic (which -HEAD isn't yet
doing), you may find that you're only able to TX one frame (due to
BAW restrictions) and this may end up hitting this race condition.
The only solution is to not use RAC and instead use AR_ISR and the
AR_ISR_Sx registers. The bit in AR_ISR which represents the secondary
registers are not cleared; only the AR_ISR_Sx bits are. This way
any updates which occur between the read and subsequent write will
stay asserted and (correctly) trigger a subsequent interrupt.
I've tested this on the AR5416, AR9160, AR9280. I will soon test
the AR9285 and AR9287.
* The AR_ISR TX and RX bits (and all others!) are set regardless of
whether the contents of the AR_IMR register. So if RX mitigation is
enabled, RXOK is going to be set in AR_ISR and it would normally set
HAL_INT_RX.
Fix the code to not set HAL_INT_RX when RXOK is set and RX mitigation
is compiled in. That way the RX path isn't prematurely called.
I would see:
* An interrupt would come in (eg a beacon, or TX completion) where
RXOK was set but RXINTM/RXMINT wasn't;
* ath_rx_proc() be called - completing RX frames;
* RXINTM/RXMINT would then fire;
* ath_rx_proc() would then be called again but find no frames in the
queue.
This fixes the RX mitigation behaviour to not overly call ath_rx_proc().
* Start to flesh out more correct timer interrupt handling - it isn't
kite/merlin specific. It's actually based on whether autosleep support
is enabled or not.
This is sourced from my 11n TX branch and has been tested for a few weeks.
Finally, the interrupt handling change should likely be implemented
for AR5210, AR5211 and AR5212.
There are some timing concerns which I've yet to fully map out.
In any case, there's an existing software driven mitigation method
for TX interrupts and when TX'ing 11n frames, the whole frame itself
generates an interrupt rather then the subframes.
Although I tried to fix this earlier by introducing HALDEBUG_G(), it
turns out there seem to be other cases where the pointer value is still
NULL.
* Fix DO_HALDEBUG() and the HALDEBUG macro to check whether ah is NULL
before deferencing it
* Remove HALDEBUG_G() as it's no longer needed

The reference driver and Linux ath9k both choose 80% of the
beacon interval and they do it in the driver rather than
the HAL (Ath reference) or ath9k_hw (ath9k.)
This quietens stuck beacon conditions on my AR9220/AR9280

local variable with a beacon interval of 100 TU. This never gets modified
if the beacon interval configuration changes.
This may have been correct in earlier times, but with the advent of
staggered beacons (which default to 1 / ATH_BCBUF beacon interval, so
25 TU here) this value is incorrect.
It is used to configure the default CABQ readytime. So here, the cabq
was being configured to be much greater than the target beacon timer
(TBTT.)
The driver should be configuring a cabq readytime value rather then
leaving it to the HAL to choose sensible defaults. This should be
done in the future - I'm simply trying to ensure sensible defaults
are chosen.
This is another commit in a series of TDMA support fixes for the 11n NICs.
* Move ath_hal_getnexttbtt() into the HAL; write methods for it.
This returns a timer value in TSF, rather than TU.
* Move ath_hal_getcca() and ath_hal_setcca() into the HAL too, where they
likely now belong.
* Create a new HAL capability: HAL_CAP_LONG_RXDESC_TSF.
The pre-11n NICs write 15 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor;
the AR5416 and later write 32 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor.
* Use the new capability to choose between 15 and 31 bit TSF adjustment
functions in ath_extend_tsf().
* Write ar5416GetTsf64() and ar5416SetTsf64() methods.
ar5416GetTsf64() tries to compensate for TSF changes at the 32 bit boundary.
According to yin, this fixes the TDMA beaconing on 11n chipsets and TDMA
stations can now associate/talk, but there are still issues with traffic
stability which need to be investigated.
The ath_hal_extendtsf() function is also used in RX packet timestamping;
this may improve adhoc mode on the 11n chipsets. It also will affect the
timestamps seen in radiotap frames.

control the antenna control bits for the four TX series and the
TPC settings for TX series 1, 2, 3.
The specifics:
* The TPC setting for TX series 0 is handled in ctl0.
* TPC is currently disabled, so the per-packet TX power is
set via the global per-rate TX power register, not per packet.
* The antenna control bits don't matter for AR5416 and later
so they should stay 0 (which they currently do); they may
be set for Kite but as there's no TX diversity supported
at the moment (it requires the NIC to be built with an
external antenna switch, matching how antenna diversity
is done on legacy NICs), so again keep them 0.
This is in preparation for supporting per-rate TPC on the
AR5416 and later. The Kite (and soon to come Kiwi) code
sets ctl8-11 to 0x0, which doesn't have any effect at
the moment. When TPC is enabled it would result in the
second, third and fourth TX series attmpts to be done with
a TX power of 0. This commit doesn't change that; it'll

registers appropriately.

table which contains the per-rate target TX power.
This code is shared between the v14 eeprom board setup (AR5416, AR9160,
AR9280) and will also be used by the upcoming Kite (AR9287) support.
* grab the main, alt and selected LNA config
* add some optional / disabled logging code
* add a check to reject packets with an invalid main rssi too,
in case the alt is the active receive chain and main is -ve.

environments.
In setups where NF calibration can take a while, don't load the CCA
and kick off a new NF calibration if the previous one hasn't yet
completed. This shouldn't happen unless the environment is noisy but
those exist (hi phk!).
Here, if the previous NF hasn't completed when ar5416LoadNf() is run
(which reads the NF), it skips updating the history buffer, loading
the NF CCA array and kicking off the next NF cal. It's hoped it'll
occur in the next long calibration interval.

This is taking quite a while for some people in some situations
(eg AR5418 in phk's Abusive Radio Environment).
Instead, the rest of the calibration related code should
ensure that a NF calibration has occured before reading NF
values and kicking off another NF calibration.
The channel should also likely be marked as "noisy" (CWINT)
if the NF calibration takes too long.
* Correct some of the silicon revision checks to match what
the Atheros HAL does. (See [1] below.)
* Move the PA cal and init cal method assignment to -after-
the mac version/revision IDs are stored. The AR9285 init
cal was never being called.
* Enable ANI.
Note Kite 1.0 and 1.1 were prototypes that shouldn't be seen
in the wild. Linux ath9k simply removed the prototype code from
their codebase. I'm going to leave it in there for now but
make it conditionally compilable in the future.

from Atheros as to what/when this is supposed to be enabled.
Using the default RX fast diversity settings seems to help quite
a bit.
Whilst I'm here, change the prototype to return HAL_BOOL rather than int.
For now, the diversity settings are controlled by 'txantenna',
-not- rxantenna. This is because the earlier chipsets had
controllable TX diversity; the RX antenna setting twiddles
the default antenna register. I'll try sort that stuff out at
some point.
Call the antenna switch function from the board setup function
so scans, channel changes, mode changes, etc don't set the
diversity back to a default state too far from what's intended.
Things to todo:
* Squirrel away the last antenna diversity/combining parameters
and restore them during board setup if HAL_ANT_VARIABLE is
defined. That way scans, etc don't reset the diversity settings.
* Add some more public facing statistics, rather than what's
simply logged under HAL_DEBUG_DIVERSITY.
For now, the fixed antenna settings behave better than variable
settings for me. I have some further fiddling to do..

The macro which I incorrectly copied into ah_internal.h assumed
that it'd be called with an AR_SREV_MERLIN_20() check to ensure
it was only enabled for Merlin (AR9280) silicon revision 2.0 or
later.
Trouble is, the 5GHz fast clock EEPROM flag is only valid for
EEPROM revision 16 or greater; it's assumed to be enabled
by default for Merlin rev >= 2.0. This meant it'd be incorrectly
set for AR5416 and AR9160 in 5GHz mode.
This would have affected non-default clock timings such as SIFS,
ACK and slot time. The incorrect slot time was very likely wrong
for 5ghz mode.
* Modify AR_SREV_MERLIN_20() to match the Atheros/Linux ath9k behaviour -
its supposed to match Merlin 2.0 and later Merlin chips.
AR_SREV_MERLIN_20_OR_LATER() matches AR9280 2.0 and later chips
(AR9285, AR9287, etc.)
for the given channel is available.
It isn't used yet; ar5416GetWirelessModes() needs to be taught
about this rather than assuming HT20/HT40 is available.
This seems to make the AR9160 behave better during heavy scanning,
where before it'd hang and require a hard reset to recover.

modifying AR_DIAG_SW.
There's a hardware workaround which sets disabling some errors
early at startup and clears said bits before the PCU begins
receiving - it does this to avoid RX descriptor status errors.
It's possible these bits aren't being completely properly twiddled
in all instances; but in particular if the diag_reg HAL variable
is set it won't be setting these bits correctly. I'll review this
at some point.
* Disable multicast search on mac address and key id - the driver
doesn't use it at the moment and thus adhoc may be broken for
merlin and later.
* Change this to be for Merlin 1.0 (which from what I understand
wasn't ever publicly released) to be more correct.
Apparently all three RX chains need to be enabled before initial calibration
is done, even if only two are configured.
Reorder the alt chain swap bit to match what the Atheros HAL is doing.

* Shuffle some of the capability numbers around to match the
Atheros HAL capability IDs, just for consistency.
* Add some new capabilities to FreeBSD from the Atheros
HAL which will be be shortly used when new chipsets are added
(HAL SGI-20 support is for Kiwi/AR9287 support); for
TX aggregation (MBSSID aggregate support, WDS aggregation
support); CST/GTT support for carrier sense/TX timeout.
channel when the channel is HT/40.
The new ANI code (primarily for the AR9300/AR9400) in ath9k sets this
register but the ANI code for the previous 11n chips didn't set this.
Unlike ath9k, only set this for HT/40 channels.

These describe FCC/Japan channel and DFS behaviour.
The AR9285 and later chips don't set these bits in the eeprom, the correct
behaviour is to just assume all five bits are enabled.

The Atheros HAL and FreeBSD HAL share the same capabilities up
until HAL_CAP_11D, where things begin to diverge.
I'll look at tidying these up soon.
