When the fast clock (44mhz) is enabled for 5ghz HT20, the
dual ADCs aren't enabled. Trying to do the ADC calibrations
here would result in calibration never completing; this
resulted in IQ calibration never running and thus performance
issues in 11a/11n HT20 mode.
Leave it enabled for non-fastclock (40mhz) 11a mode and
HT40 modes.
This has been fixed in discussion with Felix Fietkau (nbd)
and discussions with the Atheros baseband team.

The current code was rounding down the maximum frame size instead of
routing up, resulting in a read size of 1024 bytes, in the non-jumbo
frame case, and splitting the packets across multiple mbufs.
Consequently the above problem exposed another issue, which is when
packets were splitted across multiple mbufs, and all of the mbufs in the
chain have the M_PKTHDR flag set.

sio spin locks when entering the debugger, so we don't. However,
similar logic does not exist in other device drivers, including uart.
(5) dcons requires some special handling; unlike other console types, it
allows overriding KDB's own debugger selection, so we need a new

Before 802.11n, the RX descriptor list would employ the "self-linked tail
descriptor" trick which linked the last descriptor back to itself.
This way, the RX engine would never hit the "end" of the list and stop
processing RX (and assert RXEOL) as it never hit a descriptor whose next
pointer was 0. It would just keep overwriting the last descriptor until
the software freed up some more RX descriptors and chained them onto the
end.
For 802.11n, this needs to stop as a self-linked RX descriptor tickles the
block-ack logic into ACK'ing whatever frames are received into that
self-linked descriptor - so in very busy periods, you could end up with
A-MPDU traffic that is ACKed but never received by the 802.11 stack.
This would cause some confusion as the ADDBA windows would suddenly
be out of sync.
So when that occured here, the last descriptor would be hit and the PCU
logic would stop. It would only start again when the RX descriptor list
was updated and the PCU RX engine was re-tickled. That wasn't being done,
so RXEOL would be continuously asserted and no RX would continue.
This patch introduces a new flag - sc->sc_kickpcu - which when set,
signals the RX task to kick the PCU after its processed whatever packets
it can. This way completed packets aren't discarded.
In case some other task gets called which resets the hardware, don't
update sc->sc_imask - instead, just update the hardware interrupt mask
directly and let either ath_rx_proc() or ath_reset() restore the imask
to its former setting.
Note: this bug was only triggered when doing a whole lot of frame snooping
with serial console IO in the RX task. This would defer interrupt processing
enough to cause an RX descriptor overflow. It doesn't happen in normal
conditions.

interrupt storm.
This is easily triggered by flipping on and off tcpdump -y IEEE802_11_RADIO
w/ witness enabled. This causes a whole lot of console IO and when you're
attached to a serial console (eg on my AR7161 embedded board), the RX
interrupt doesn't get called quickly enough and the RX queue fills up.
This wasn't a problem in the past because of the self-linked RX descriptor
trick - the RX would never hit the "end" of the RX descriptor list.
However this isn't possible for 802.11n (see previous commit history for
why.)
Both Linux ath9k and the Atheros reference driver code do this; I'm just
looking now for where they then restart the PCU receive. Right now the RX
will just stop until the interface is reset.

The AR9280 apparently has an issue with descriptors which straddle a page
boundary (4k). I'm not yet sure whether I should use PAGE_SIZE in the

This patch fiddles with descriptor allocation so a descriptor entry
doesn't straddle a 4kb address boundary. The descriptor memory allocation
is made larger to contain extra descriptors and then the descriptor
address is advanced to the next 4kb boundary where needed.

Although this may not be what the original sysctl was designed to do,
it feels a bit more "expected".
Before, if ANI is disabled, the initial ANI parameters are still written
to the hardware, even if they're not enabled. "ANI enabled" would then
adjust the noise immunity parameters dynamically. Disabling ANI would
simply leave the existing noise immunity parameters where they are,
and disable the dynamic part.
The problem is that disabling ANI doesn't leave the hardware in
a consistent, predictable state - so asking a user to disable ANI
wouldn't actually reset the NIC to a consistent set of PHY signal
detection parameters, resulting in an unpredictable/unreliable outcome.
This makes it difficult to get reliable debugging information from
the user.

the AP doesn't transmit beacons.
If the AP requests a CSA (ie, a channel switch) and then enters CAC
(channel availability check) for 60 seconds, it doesn't send beacons
and it just listens for radar events (and other things which we don't
do yet.)
Now, ath_newstate() was not resetting the beacon timer config on
a transition to the RUN state when in STA mode - it was setting
sc_syncbeacon, which simply updates the beacon config from the
contents of the next received beacon.
This means the STA never generates beacon miss events.
If the AP goes into CAC for 60 seconds and recovers, the STA will
happily receive the first beacon and reconfigure timers.
But if it gets a radar event after that, it'll change channel
again, not notify the station that it's changed channel..
and since the station is happily waiting for the first beacon
to configure the beacon timer details from, it won't ever
generate a beacon miss interrupt and it'll sit there forever

This change forces the last known beacon timer config to be

get it out of a stuck condition that can be caused by GEM_MAC_RX_OVERFLOW.
- In gem_reset_rxdma() call gem_setladrf() in order to reprogram the RX
filter and restore the previous content of GEM_MAC_RX_CONFIG. While at it
consistently use the newly introduced sc_mac_rxcfg throughout the driver
instead of reading the its old content.
- Increment if_iqdrops instead of if_ierrors in case of RX buffer allocation
failure.
- According to the GEM datasheet the RX MAC should also be disabled in
gem_setladrf() before changing its configuration.
- Add error messages to gem_disable_{r,t}x() and take advantage of these
throughout the driver instead of duplicating their functionality all over
the place.

microcode loading for these controllers and jfv also confirmed that
there is no need to do and it shouldn't.

The DFS code was tickling the channel set directly whilst going
through the state RUN -> CSA -> RUN. This only changed the channel;
it didn't go via ath_reset(). However in this driver, a channel
change always causes a chip reset, which resets the beacon timer
configuration and interrupt setup. This meant that data would go
out but as the beacon timers never fired, beacons would never
be queued.
The confusing part is that sometimes the state transition was
RUN -> SCAN -> CAC -> RUN (with CSA being in there sometimes);
going via SCAN would clear sc_beacons and thus the transition
to RUN would reprogram beacon transmission.
In case someone tries debugging why suspending a device currently
beaconing (versus just RX'ing beacons which is what occurs in STA
mode), add a silly comment which should hopefully land them at
this commit message. The call to ath_hal_reset() will be clearing
the beacon config and it may not be always reset.
can be tested.
This doesn't at all actually do radar detection! It's just
so developers who wish to test the net80211 DFS code can easily
do so. Without this flag, the DFS channels are never marked
DFS and thus the DFS stuff doesn't run.
latter.
It appears that the addition to uath(4) came in through PR kern/135009,
which had tested another device, the SMCWUSBTG2, successfully with uath(4)
and included the SMCWUSBG as it "has the same chipset". I can find no
other evidence that these two do actually share the same chipset. Moreover,
Linux treats the SMCWUSBG as a zyd(4) device also.
