This seems to probe/attach as an AR9485 and thus nothing else besides
adding the device id seems to be required.

The NIC I have here is a 1 antenna, 2GHz only device.
Thankyou to Jim Thompson <jim@netgate.com> for the AR1111 NIC.
Tested:
* AR1111 (pretending not to be an AR9485, but failing miserably);
STA mode with powersave.
Relnotes: yes

The QCA9565 is a 1x1 2.4GHz 11n chip with integrated on-chip bluetooth.
The AR9300 HAL already has support for this chip; it just wasn't
included in the probe/attach path.
Tested:
* This commit brought to you over a QCA9565 wifi connection from
FreeBSD.
* .. ie, basic STA, pings, no iperf or antenna diversity checking just yet.
the internet as "AR9380 and later which didn't get its PCI ID written
in at power-on", so it's hardly an unknown constant.

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.
This is apparently an AR9285 with the 802.11n specific bits disabled.
This code is completely untested; I'm doing this in response to users
who wish to test the functionality out. It's likely as buggy as the
AR9285 support is in FreeBSD at the moment.
