4342b6100b Only do open loop power control and temperature compensation
for the AR9280 based NICs if it's actually enabled.

Some of the OLC code was erroneously called during setup
and calibration. This may have caused some incorrect behaviour.

2f399d37ee Remove duplicate code - add a function which calculates the ratesArray[]
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.

68b3f39d74 Some diversity changes relating to AR9285.
* 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.

Note: The software-controlled combined diversity code is still disabled.

6b00c928cb Make the NF calibration logic (hopefully!) more resistive to noisy
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.

85191ae6e8 Remove the initial NF completion check.
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.

12c5d1f2bf AR9285 (Kite) fixes.
* 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.

60abf57fd5 Import some initial Kite fixed diversity code from Atheros.
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..

c9cd76313b Fix the 5ghz fast clock logic.
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.

60d3878423 * Add in a comment about ar5416InitUserSettings() potentially
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.

de1334e8d7 Some BB hang changes:
* Add Howl (ar9130) to the list of chips that have DFS/BB/MAC hangs
* Don't treat unknown BB hangs as fatal; ath9k/Atheros HAL don't
  treat it as such.
* Add HAL_DEBUG_DFS to the debug fields in ath_hal/ah_debug.h

The BB hang check simply loops over an observation register checking
for a stuck state engine, but it can happen under high traffic
conditions. Ath9k and the Atheros HAL simply log a debug message and
continue.

Private to FreeBSD:

* Add HAL_DEBUG_HANG to the debug fields
* Change the hang debugging to HAL_DEBUG_HANG rather than HAL_DEBUG_DFS
  like in the Atheros HAL.

d1915e7308 Fix the OWL revision checks.
A quick story, which is partially documented in the commit.

The silicon revision in Linux ath9k and the Atheros HAL use an
AR_SREV_REVISION mask of 0x07.

FreeBSD's HAL uses the AR5212 AR_SREV_REVISION mask of 0x0F.

Thus the OWL silicon revisions were coming through as 0xA, 0xB,
0xC, rather than 0x0, 0x1 and 0x2.

My ath9k-sourced AR_SREV_OWL_<X> macros were thus using the wrong
silicon revision values and wouldn't correctly match.

This commit does a few things:

* Change the AR_SREV_OWL_<x> macros to use the AR_SREV_REVISION_OWL_*
  values, not AR_XSREV_REVISION_OWL macros;
* Disable AR_XSREV_REVISION_OWL_* values;
* Modify the IS_5416 to properly check the MAC is OWL, rather than
  potentially matching on non-OWL revisions (which shouldn't happen
  unless there's a silicon revision of higher than 0x9 in a later
  chip..)
* Add a couple more macros from the Atheros HAL for compatibility.

The main difference now is that the Atheros HAL defines
AR_SREV_OWL_{20,22}_OR_LATER subtly differently - it fails on all HOWL
silicon. The AR_SREV_5416_*_OR_LATER macros match on the relevant OWL
version -and- all HOWL versions, along with subsequent versions.

A subsequent commit is going to migrate the uses of AR_SREV_OWL_X_OR_LATER
to AR_SREV_5416_X_OR_LATER to match what's going on in the Atheros HAL.

There's only two uses of AR_SREV_OWL_X_OR_LATER which currently don't
apply to FreeBSD but it may do in the future.

Yes, it's all confusing!

47ff47a858 Don't perform NF calibration for radio chains which aren't in use:
Quoting the ath9k commit message:

At present the noise floor calibration is processed in supported
control and extension chains rather than required chains.
Unnccesarily doing nfcal in all supported chains leads to
invalid nf readings on extn chains and these invalid values
got updated into history buffer. While loading those values
from history buffer is moving the chip to deaf state.

This issue was observed in AR9002/AR9003 chips while doing
associate/dissociate in HT40 mode and interface up/down
in iterative manner. After some iterations, the chip was moved
to deaf state. Somehow the pci devices are recovered by poll work
after chip reset. Raading the nf values in all supported extension chains
when the hw is not yet configured in HT40 mode results invalid values.

d2615832bf Fix up the chipset checks for the AR5416 and later silicon.
The checks should function as follows:

* AR_SREV_<silicon> : check macVersion matches that version id
* AR_SREV_<silicon>_<revision> : check macVersion and macRevision match
    the version / revision respectively

* AR_SREV_<silicon>_<revision>_OR_LATER: check that
  + if the chip silicon version == macVersion, enforce revision >= macRevision
  + if the chip silicon version > macVersion, allow it.

For example, AR_SREV_MERLIN() only matches AR9280 (any revision),
AR_SREV_MERLIN_10() would only match AR9280 version 1.0, but
AR_SREV_MERLIN_20_OR_LATER() matches AR9280 version >= 2.0 _AND_
any subsequent MAC (So AR9285, AR9287, etc.)

The specific fixes which may impact users:

* if there is Merlin hardware > revision 2.0, it'll now be correctly
  matched by AR_SREV_MERLIN_20_OR_LATER() - the older code simply
  would match on either Merlin 2.0 or a subsequent MAC (AR9285, AR9287, etc.)

* Kite version 1.1/1.2 should now correctly match. As these macros
  are used in the AR9285 reset/attach path, and it's assumed that the
  hardware is kite anyway, the behaviour shouldn't change. It'll only
  change if these macros are used in other codepaths shared with
  older silicon.

9f25ad52ce Introduce AR9130 (HOWL) WMAC support to the FreeBSD HAL.
The AR9130 is an AR9160/AR5416 family WMAC which is glued directly
to the AR913x SoC peripheral bus (APB) rather than via a PCI/PCIe
bridge.

The specifics:

* A new build option is required to use the AR9130 - AH_SUPPORT_AR9130.
  This is needed due to the different location the RTC registers live
  with this chip; hopefully this will be undone in the future.
  This does currently mean that enabling this option will break non-AR9130
  builds, so don't enable it unless you're specifically building an image
  for the AR913x SoC.

* Add the new probe, attach, EEPROM and PLL methods specific to Howl.

* Add a work-around to ah_eeprom_v14.c which disables some of the checks
  for endian-ness and magic in the EEPROM image if an eepromdata block
  is provided. This'll be fixed at a later stage by porting the ath9k
  probe code and making sure it doesn't break in other setups (which
  my previous attempt at this did.)

* Sprinkle Howl modifications throughput the interrupt path - it doesn't
  implement the SYNC interrupt registers, so ignore those.

* Sprinkle Howl chip powerup/down throughout the reset path; the RTC methods
  were

* Sprinkle some other Howl workarounds in the reset path.

* Hard-code an alternative setup for the AR_CFG register for Howl, that
  sets up things suitable for Big-Endian MIPS (which is the only platform
  this chip is glued to.)

This has been tested on the AR913x based TP-Link WR-1043nd mode, in
legacy, HT/20 and HT/40 modes.

Caveats:

* 2ghz has only been tested. I've not seen any 5ghz radios glued to this
  chipset so I can't test it.

* AR5416_INTERRUPT_MITIGATION is not supported on the AR9130. At least,
  it isn't implemented in ath9k. Please don't enable this.

* This hasn't been tested in MBSS mode or in RX/TX block-aggregation mode.

6f5fe81e02 Fix a corner-case of interrupt handling which resulted in potentially
spurious (and fatal) interrupt errors.

One user reported seeing this:

Apr 22 18:04:24 ceres kernel: ar5416GetPendingInterrupts: fatal error,
  ISR_RAC 0x0 SYNC_CAUSE 0x2000

SYNC_CAUSE of 0x2000 is AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT which is a bus timeout;
this shouldn't cause HAL_INT_FATAL to be set.

After checking out ath9k, ath9k_ar9002_hw_get_isr() clears (*masked)
before continuing, regardless of whether any bits in the ISR registers
are set. So if AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE is set to something that isn't
treated as fatal, and AR_ISR isn't read or is read and is 0, then
(*masked) wouldn't be cleared. Thus any of the existing bits set
that were passed in would be preserved in the output.

The caller in if_ath - ath_intr() - wasn't setting the masked value
to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr(), so anything that was present
in that uninitialised variable would be preserved in the case above
of AR_ISR=0, AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE != 0; and if the HAL_INT_FATAL bit
was set, a fatal condition would be interpreted and the chip was
reset.

This patch does the following:

* ath_intr() - set masked to 0 before calling ath_hal_getisr();
* ar5416GetPendingInterrupts() - clear (*masked) before processing
  continues; so if the interrupt source is AR_INTR_SYNC_CAUSE
  and it isn't fatal, the hardware isn't reset via returning
  HAL_INT_FATAL.

This doesn't fix any underlying errors which trigger
AR_INTR_SYNC_LOCAL_TIMEOUT - which is a bus timeout of some
sort - so that likely should be further investigated.

c772d0204f Port over a TX gain fix from ath9k specific to the AR9285 (Kite) and AR9271.
Note: this HAL currently only supports the AR9285.

From Linux ath9k:

The problem is that when the attenuation is increased,
the rate will start to drop from MCS7 -> MCS6, and finally
will see MCS1 -> CCK_11Mbps. When the rate is changed b/w
CCK and OFDM, it will use register desired_scale to calculate
how much tx gain need to change.

The output power with the same tx gain for CCK and OFDM modulated
signals are different. This difference is constant for AR9280
but not AR9285/AR9271. It has different PA architecture
a constant. So it should be calibrated against this PA
characteristic.

The driver has to read the calibrated values from EEPROM and set
the tx power registers accordingly.

82c30dc46e Begin fleshing out a public HAL routine to export the per-chain
ctl/ext noise floor values.

This routine doesn't check to see whether the radio is MIMO
capable - instead, it simply returns either the raw values,
the "nominal" values if the raw values aren't yet available
or are invalid, or '0' values if there's no valid channel/
no valid MIMO values.

Callers are expected to verify the radio is a MIMO radio
(which for now means it's an 11n chipset, there are non-11n
MIMO chipsets out there but I don't think we support them,
at least in MIMO mode) before exporting the MIMO values.

8a2a6beedb Add a HAL capability bit for supporting self-linked RX descriptors and disable it for the 11n chipsets.
From the ath9k source:

==

11N: we can no longer afford to self link the last descriptor.
MAC acknowledges BA status as long as it copies frames to host
buffer (or rx fifo). This can incorrectly acknowledge packets
to a sender if last desc is self-linked.

==

Since this is useful for pre-AR5416 chips that communicate PHY errors
via error frames rather than by on-chip counters, leave the support
in there, but disable it for AR5416 and later.

f77057db08 According to ath9k recv.c, one shouldn't be doing self-linked descriptors
in the RX path when doing 11n and block-ack'ed frames. Apparently, the MAC
will loop over that self-linked descriptor and treat it as "good enough"
for (incorrectly!) ACKing the frames in the block-ack.

Until I figure out how to work around this issue in the future, this counter
will tell me if packet RX processing ever gets to the point where it's
touching the self-linked descriptor. If there's ever enough packets to get
to that point, BA's will be invalid and likely very unhappy.

Sending short-gi frames in 20mhz may work on some chips but
it certainly isn't supported on anything currently supported

won't work.

7dd51df82f After discussion with Felix Fietkau (nbd) about the ath9k Merlin LNA bit
settings, it seems that our defines are backwards and don't match what
is in the EEPROM documentation or internal driver.

The ath9k code used to have a bitfield here, rather than a uint8_t, and
there were #defines used to swap the order based on the endian of the
platform - this wasn't because of nybble or bit ordering of the
underlying host but because of what the compiler was doing.

This may be the reason for the backwards field numbers, as ath9k had
similar issues.

d4c081e362 The AR5416+ chips all have MIB counters (which the AR5416 ANI code assumes)
so there's no need to enable the RX of invalid frames just to do ANI.

The if_ath code and AR5212 ANI code setup the RX filter bits to enable
receiving OFDM/CCK errors if the device doesn't have the hardware
MIB counters. It isn't initialising it for the AR5416+ because all of
those chips have hardware MIB counters.

This fixes the odd (and performance affecting!) situation where if ani
is enabled (via sysctl dev.ath.X.intmit) then suddenly there's be a very
large volume of phy errors - which is good to track, but not what was
intended. Since each PHY error is a received (0 length) frame, it can
significantly tie up the RX side of things.

The AR5416 init path also does something similar, so supporting

baab333c80 Cave in and disable the ADC DC gain/offset calibrations if they're
not needed.

These calibrations are only applicable if the chip operating mode
engages both interleaved RX ADCs (ie, it's compensating for the
differences in DC gain and DC offset -between- the two ADCs.)
Otherwise the chip reads values of 0x0 for the secondary ADC
(as I guess it's not enabled here) and thus writes potentially
bogus info into the chip.

I've tested this on the AR9160 and AR9280; both behave themselves

This commit really is "fix the OFDM duration calculation to match reality when
running in 802.11g mode."

The AR5212 init vals set AR_MISC_MODE to 0x0 and all the bits that can be set are
set through code.

The AR5416 and later initvals set AR_MISC_MODE to various other values (with
the AR5212 AR_MISC_MODE options cleared), which include AR_PCU_CCK_SIFS_MODE .
This adds 6uS to SIFS on non-CCK frames when transmitting.

This fixes the issue where _DATA_ 802.11g OFDM frames were being TX'ed with
the ACK duration set to 38uS, not 44uS as on the AR5212 (and other devices.)

The AR5212 TX pathway obeys the software-programmed duration field in the packet,
but the 11n TX pathway overrides that with a hardware-calculated duration. This
was getting it wrong because of the above AR_MISC_MODE setting. I've verified
that 11g data OFDM frames are now being TXed with the correct ACK+SIFS duration
programmed in.

a85eaa7714 Use the HAL method rather than directly calling ar5212ResetTxQueue().
Since ath9k does some slightly different bit fiddling when setting up
the TX queues, it may that the TX queue setup/reset functions will need
overriding later on.

df20f67447 Bring over the AR9285 board update code from ath9k.
This does a few things in particular:

* Abstracts out the gain control settings into a separate function;
* Configure antenna diversity, LNA and antenna gain parameters;
* Configure ob/db entries - the later v4k EEPROM modal revisions have
  multiple OB/DB parameters which are used for some form of
  calibration. Although the radio does have defaults for each,
  the EEPROM can override them.

This resolves the AR2427 related issues I've been seeing and makes
it stable at all 11g rates for both TX and RX.

77b9efed7b Fix the nfarray offsets for the ar2133/ar5133 radio - (AR5416, AR9160, etc.)
The offsets didn't match the assumption that nfarray[] is ordered by the
chainmask bits and programmed via the register order in ar5416_cca_regs[].
This repairs that damage and ensures that chain 1 is programmed correctly.
(And extension channels will now be programmed correctly also.)

This fixes some of the stuck beacons I've been seeing on my AR9160/AR5416
setups - because Chain 1 would be programmed -80 or -85 dBm, which is
higher than the actual noise floor and thus convincing the radio that
indeed it can't ever transmit.

6ff1b2bda8 Move out some of the shared eeprom board value calculation routines into ah.c
rather than duplicating them for the v14 (ar5416+) and v4k (ar9285) codebases.

Further chipsets (eg the AR9287) have yet another EEPROM format which will use
these routines to calculate things.

b90b8dd2b2 * Add in some board settings debugging to log what's being written
to the TX closed-loop power control registers.
* Modify a couple of functions to take the register chain number,
  rather than the regChainOffset value. This allows for the
  register chain to be logged.

586b0ae5aa Port over the AR9285 PA calibration and initial calibration code from
Linux ath9k.

The ath9k ar9002_hw_init_cal() isn't entirely clear about what
is supposed to be called for what chipsets, so I'm ignoring the
rest of it and just porting the AR9285 init cal path as-is and
leaving the rest alone. Subsequent commits may also tidy up the
Merlin (AR9285) and other chipset support.

c0b9002dcb Introduce methods for the initial calibration and the new PA calibration
routines.

These are needed for the AR9285/AR2427 and AR9287 calibration routines
which will be introducecd in a later commit.
