The legacy bits are just from ah.h; the MCI bits are from the ar9300
HAL "freebsd" extras.
A subsequent commit will include ah_btcoex.h into ah.h and remove
the older defintions.
Split getchannels() method in ath_hal/ah_regdomain.c into a subset
of functions for better readability.
Note: due to different internal structure, it cannot use
ieee80211_add_channel*() (however, some parts are done in a
similar manner).

The synth programming here requires the real centre frequency,
which for HT20 channels is the normal channel, but HT40 is
/not/ the primary channel. Everything else was using 'freq',
which is the correct centre frequency, but the hornet config
was using 'ichan' to do the lookup which was also the primary
channel.
So, modify the HAL call that does the mapping to take a frequency
in MHz and return the channel number.
Tested:
* Carambola 2, AR9331, tested both HT/20 and HT/40 operation.
This probe/attaches correctly in my local branch and now displays
a useful message:

Right now the only way to force a cold reset is:
* The HAL itself detects it's needed, or
* The sysctl, setting all resets to be cold.
Trouble is, cold resets take quite a bit longer than warm resets.
However, there are situations where a cold reset would be nice.
Specifically, after a stuck beacon, BB/MAC hang, stuck calibration results,
etc.
The vendor HAL has a separate method to set the reset reason (which is
how HAL_RESET_BBPANIC gets set) which informs the HAL during the reset path
why it occured. This is almost but not quite the same; I may eventually
unify both approaches in the future.
This commit just extends HAL_RESET_TYPE to include both status (eg BBPANIC)
and type (eg do COLD.) None of the HAL code uses it yet though; that'll
come later.
It also is a big no-op in each HAL - I need to go teach each of the HALs
about cold/warm reset through this path.
This was off because the net80211 aggregation code was using the same
state pointers for both fast frames and ampdu tx support which led to some
pretty unfortunate panic-y behaviour.
Now that net80211 doesn't panic, let's flip this back on.
It doesn't (yet) do the horrific sounding thing of A-MPDU aggregates
of fast frames; that'll come next. It's a pre-requisite to supporting
AMSDU + AMPDU anyway, which actually speeds things up quite considerably
(think packing lots of little ACK frames into a single AMSDU.)
Tested:
* QCA955x SoC, AP mode
* AR5416, STA mode
* AR9170, STA mode (with local fast frame patches)
I .. stupidly added code to return HAL_ANI_STATS to HAL_DIAG_ANI_STATS.
I discovered this in a noisy environment when the returned values were
enough to .. well, make everything terrible.
So - restore functionality.
Tested:
* AR5416 (uses the AR5212 HAL), in a /very/ noisy 2GHz environment.
Enough to trigger ANI to get upset and generate useful data.
the top-level HAL.
The athstats program is blindly using a copy of the ar5212 ANI stats structure
to pull out ANI statistics/state and this is problematic for the AR9300
HAL.
So:
* Define HAL_ANI_STATS and HAL_ANI_STATE
* Use HAL_ANI_STATS inside the AR5212 HAL
This commit doesn't (yet) convert the ar5212AniState -> HAL_ANI_STATE when
exporting it to userland; that'll come in the next commit.
rathe than private in each HAL module.
Whilst here, modify ath_hal_private to always have the per-channel
noisefloor stats, rather than conditionally. This just makes
life easier in general (no strange ABI differences between different
HAL compile options.)
Add a couple of methods (clear/reset, add) rather than using
hand-rolled versions of things.

Totally missing braces. Damn you C.

This warning occurs because both lp[0] and target are unsigned, so the
subtraction expression is also unsigned, and calling abs() is a no-op.
However, the intention was to look at the absolute difference between
the two unsigned quantities. Introduce a small static function to
clarify what we're doing, and call that instead.

These variants have a few differences from the default AR9485 NIC,
namely:
* a non-default antenna switch config;
* slightly different RX gain table setup;
* an external XLNA hooked up to a GPIO pin;
* (and not yet done) RSSI threshold differences when
doing slow diversity.
To make this possible:
* Add the PCI device list from Linux ath9k, complete with vendor and
sub-vendor IDs for various things to be enabled;
* .. and until FreeBSD learns about a PCI device list like this,
write a search function inspired by the USB device enumeration code;
* add HAL_OPS_CONFIG to the HAL attach methods; the HAL can use this
to initialise its local driver parameters upon attach;
* copy these parameters over in the AR9300 HAL;
* don't default to override the antenna switch - only do it for
the chips that require it;
* I brought over ar9300_attenuation_apply() from ath9k which is cleaner
and easier to read for this particular NIC.
This is a work in progress. I'm worried that there's some post-AR9380
NIC out there which doesn't work without the antenna override set as
I currently haven't implemented bluetooth coexistence for the AR9380
and later HAL. But I'd rather have this code in the tree and fix it
up before 11.0-RELEASE happens versus having a set of newer NICs
in laptops be effectively RX deaf.
Tested:
* AR9380 (STA)
* AR9485 CUS198 (STA)
Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros, Linux ath9k
The AR9380 and later chips have a 128KiB register window, so the register
read diag api needs changing.
The tools are about to be updated as well. No, they're not backwards
compatible.
This seems to probe/attach as an AR9485 and thus nothing else besides
adding the device id seems to be required.

private per-chip HAL.
This allows the ah_osdep.[ch] code to check whether the power state is
valid for doing chip programming.
It should be a no-op for normal driver work but it does require a
clean kernel/module rebuild, as the size of HAL structures have changed.
Now, this doesn't track whether the hardware is ACTUALLY awake,
as NETWORK_SLEEP wakes the chip up for a short period when traffic
is received. This doesn't actually set the power mode to AWAKE, so
we have to be careful about how we touch things.
But it's enough to start down the path of implementing station mode
chipset power savings, as a large part of the silliness is making
sure the chip is awake during periodic calibration / ANI and
random places where transmit may be occuring. I'd rather not a repeat
of debugging power save on ath9k, where races with calibration
and transmit path stuff took a couple years to shake out.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA mode
The AR5212 series of MACs implement the same channel counters as the
later 11n chips - except, of course, the 11n specific counter (extension
channel busy.)
This allows users of these NICs to use 'athsurvey' to see how busy their
current channel is.

The reference HAL pushes a config group parameter to the driver layer
to inform it which particular chip behaviour to implement.
This particular value tags it as an AR9285.
The AR9485 chip and AR933x SoC both implement LNA diversity.
There are a few extra things that need to happen before this can be
flipped on for those chips (mostly to do with setting up the different
bias values and LNA1/LNA2 RSSI differences) but the first stage is
putting this code into the driver layer so it can be reused.
This has the added benefit of making it easier to expose configuration
options and diagnostic information via the ioctl API. That's not yet
being done but it sure would be nice to do so.
Tested:
* AR9285, with LNA diversity enabled
* AR9285, with LNA diversity disabled in EEPROM
* Call the bluetooth setup function during the reset path, so the bluetooth
settings are actually initialised.
* Call the AR9285 diversity functions during bluetooth setup; so the AR9285
diversity and antenna configuration registers are correctly programmed
* Misc debugging info.
Tested:
* AR9285+AR3011 bluetooth combo; this code itself doesn't enable bluetooth
coexistence but it's part of what I'm currently using.
Now that I understand what's going on - and the RX antenna array maps
to what the receive LNA configuration actually is - I feel comfortable
in enabling this.
If people do have issues with this, there's enough debugging now available
that we have a chance to diagnose it without writing it up as 'weird
crap.'
Tested:
* AR9285 STA w/ diversity combining enabled in EEPROM
