Although I added the reset type field to ath_hal_reset() years ago,
I never finished adding it both throughout the HALs and in if_ath.c.
This will eventually deprecate the ath_hal force_full_reset option
because it can be requested at the driver layer.
So:
* Teach ar5416ChipReset() and ar9300_chip_reset() about the HAL type
* Use it in ar5416Reset() and ar9300_reset() when doing a full chip reset
* Extend ath_reset() to include the HAL_RESET_TYPE parameter added in the above functions
* Use HAL_RESET_NORMAL in most calls to ath_reset()
* .. but use HAL_RESET_BBPANIC for the BB panics, and HAL_RESET_FORCE_COLD during fatal, beacon miss and other hardware related hangs.
This should be a glorified no-op outside of actual hardware issues.
I've tested things with ath_hal force_full_reset set to 1 for years now,
so I know that feature and a full reset works (albeit much slower than
a warm reset!) and it does unwedge hardware.
The eventual aim is to use this for all the places where the driver
detects a potential hang as well as if long calibration - ie, noise floor
calibration - fails to complete. That's one of the big hardware related
things that causes station mode operation to hang without easy recovery.
