It's still not ready for prime-time - there's some TX niggles with these 11n
cards that I'm still trying to wrap my head around, and AMPDU-TX is just not
implemented so things will come to a crashing halt if you're not careful.

both function names will still work. I will merge this to older branches
to ease driver portability, but 9.0 will ship with a new pci_find_extcap()
function that locates extended capabilities instead.

This fix modifies the const addac initval array, rather than modifying
a local copy. It means that running >1 AR9160 on a board may prove to
be unpredictable.
The AR5416 init path also does something similar, so supporting
>1 AR5416 of different revisions could cause problems.
The later fix will be to create a private copy of the Addac data
for the AR5416, AR9160 (and AR9100 when it's merged in) and then
modify that as needed.

I found this when trying to figure out why the RX PHY error count
didn't match the OFDM error count ANI was using. It turns out
there was two problems:
* What this commit addresses - using the wrong mask for OFDM errors,
and
* The RX filter is set incorrectly after a channel scan (at least)
even if interference mitigation is enabled by default.
ANI is still disabled by default for the AR5416 and later chips.

I've verified that the 2/5ghz board values written to the
chip match what was previously written.

* enable the exponential backoff window rather than the random

This should fix the issue that users were having where scanning would

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.
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.

- Always enable the HyperTransport MSI mapping window for HyperTransport
to PCI bridges (these show up as HyperTransport slave devices).
The mapping windows in PCI-PCI bridges are enabled by existing code
in the PCI-PCI bridge driver as MSI requests propagate up the device
tree, but Host-PCI bridges don't really show up in that tree.
- If the PCI device at domain 0 bus 0 slot 0 function 0 is not a
HyperTransport device, then blacklist MSI on any other HT devices in
the system. Linux has a similar quirk.

With this change, driver may not notice updated descriptor status
change when bounce buffers are active. However, rxeof() in next run
will handle the synchronization.
Change dc_rxeof() a bit to return the number of processed frames in
RX descriptor ring. Previously it returned the number of frames
that were successfully passed to upper stack which in turn means it
ignored frames that were discarded due to errors. The number of
processed frames in RX descriptor ring is used to detect whether
driver is out of sync with controller's current descriptor pointer.
Returning number of processed frames reduces unnecessary (probably
wrong) re-synchronization.

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.
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.

Further chipsets (eg the AR9287) have yet another EEPROM format which will use

* Modify a couple of functions to take the register chain number,

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.
