Quoting the ath9k commit message:
At present the noise floor calibration is processed in supported
control and extension chains rather than required chains.
Unnccesarily doing nfcal in all supported chains leads to
invalid nf readings on extn chains and these invalid values
got updated into history buffer. While loading those values
from history buffer is moving the chip to deaf state.
This issue was observed in AR9002/AR9003 chips while doing
associate/dissociate in HT40 mode and interface up/down
in iterative manner. After some iterations, the chip was moved
to deaf state. Somehow the pci devices are recovered by poll work
after chip reset. Raading the nf values in all supported extension chains
when the hw is not yet configured in HT40 mode results invalid values.

The checks should function as follows:
* AR_SREV_<silicon> : check macVersion matches that version id
* AR_SREV_<silicon>_<revision> : check macVersion and macRevision match
the version / revision respectively
* AR_SREV_<silicon>_<revision>_OR_LATER: check that
+ if the chip silicon version == macVersion, enforce revision >= macRevision
+ if the chip silicon version > macVersion, allow it.
For example, AR_SREV_MERLIN() only matches AR9280 (any revision),
AR_SREV_MERLIN_10() would only match AR9280 version 1.0, but
AR_SREV_MERLIN_20_OR_LATER() matches AR9280 version >= 2.0 _AND_
any subsequent MAC (So AR9285, AR9287, etc.)
The specific fixes which may impact users:
* if there is Merlin hardware > revision 2.0, it'll now be correctly
matched by AR_SREV_MERLIN_20_OR_LATER() - the older code simply
would match on either Merlin 2.0 or a subsequent MAC (AR9285, AR9287, etc.)
* Kite version 1.1/1.2 should now correctly match. As these macros
are used in the AR9285 reset/attach path, and it's assumed that the
hardware is kite anyway, the behaviour shouldn't change. It'll only
change if these macros are used in other codepaths shared with
older silicon.

Reference code that shows how to get a packet's timestamp out of
cxgbe(4). Disabled by default because we don't have a standard way
today to pass this information up the stack.
The timestamp is 60 bits wide and each increment represents 1 tick of
the T4's core clock. As an example, the timestamp granularity is ~4.4ns

- Enable 5-tuple and every-packet lookup.
- Setup the default filter mode to allow filtering/steering based on IP
protocol, ingress port, inner VLAN ID, IP frag, FCoE, and MPS match
type; all combined together. You can also filter based on MAC index,
Ethernet type, IP TOS/IPv6 Traffic Class, and outer VLAN ID but you'll
have to modify the default filter mode and exclude some of the
match-fields in it.
IPv4 and IPv6 SIP/DIP/SPORT/DPORT are always available in all filter
rules.
- Add driver ioctls to get/set the global filter mode.
- Add driver ioctls to program and delete hardware filters. A couple of
the "switch" actions that rewrite Ethernet and VLAN information and
switch the packet out of another port may not work as the L2 code is not
yet in place. Everything else, including all "drop" and "pass" rules
with RSS or absolute qid, should work.

of receive return ring is 4. The BCM57765 family is known to
support IEEE 802.3az EEE(Energy Efficient Ethernet) but this change
does not include EEE support code. I hope EEE is implemented in
near future.
This change will support BCM57761, BCM57765, BCM57781, BCM57785,
BCM57791 and BCM57795. All hardware offloading features are
supported and suspend/resume also should work.

handling.
The current sequence number code does a few things incorrectly:
* It didn't try eliminating duplications from HT nodes. I guess it's assumed
that out of order / retransmission handling would be handled by the AMPDU RX
routines. If a HT node isn't doing AMPDU RX, then retransmissions need to
be eliminated. Since most of my debugging is based on this (as AMPDU TX
software packet aggregation isn't yet handled), handle this corner case.
* When a sequence number of 4095 was received, any subsequent sequence number
is going to be (by definition) less than 4095. So if the following sequence
number (0) doesn't initially occur and the retransmit is received, it's
incorrectly eliminated by the IEEE80211_FC1_RETRY && SEQ_LEQ() check.
Try to handle this better.
This almost completely eliminates out of order TCP statistics showing up during
iperf testing for the 11a, 11g and non-aggregate 11n AMPDU RX case. The only
other packet loss conditions leading to this are due to baseband resets or
heavy interference.
(reporting IFM_LOOP based on BMCR_LOOP is left in place though as
it might provide useful for debugging). For most mii(4) drivers it
was unclear whether the PHYs driven by them actually support
loopback or not. Moreover, typically loopback mode also needs to
be activated on the MAC, which none of the Ethernet drivers using
mii(4) implements. Given that loopback media has no real use (and
obviously hardly had a chance to actually work) besides for driver
development (which just loopback mode should be sufficient for
though, i.e one doesn't necessary need support for loopback media)
support for it is just dropped as both NetBSD and OpenBSD already
did quite some time ago.
- Let mii_phy_add_media() also announce the support of IFM_NONE.
- Restructure the PHY entry points to use a structure of entry points
instead of discrete function pointers, and extend this to include
a "reset" entry point. Make sure any PHY-specific reset routine is
always used, and provide one for lxtphy(4) which disables MII
interrupts (as is done for a few other PHYs we have drivers for).
This includes changing NIC drivers which previously just called the
generic mii_phy_reset() to now actually call the PHY-specific reset
routine, which might be crucial in some cases. While at it, the
redundant checks in these NIC drivers for mii->mii_instance not being
zero before calling the reset routines were removed because as soon
as one PHY driver attaches mii->mii_instance is incremented and we
hardly can end up in their media change callbacks etc if no PHY driver
has attached as mii_attach() would have failed in that case and not
attach a miibus(4) instance.
Consequently, NIC drivers now no longer should call mii_phy_reset()
directly, so it was removed from EXPORT_SYMS.
- Add a mii_phy_dev_attach() as a companion helper to mii_phy_dev_probe().
The purpose of that function is to perform the common steps to attach
a PHY driver instance and to hook it up to the miibus(4) instance and to
optionally also handle the probing, addition and initialization of the
supported media. So all a PHY driver without any special requirements
has to do in its bus attach method is to call mii_phy_dev_attach()
along with PHY-specific MIIF_* flags, a pointer to its PHY functions
and the add_media set to one. All PHY drivers were updated to take
advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() as appropriate. Along with these
changes the capability mask was added to the mii_softc structure so
PHY drivers taking advantage of mii_phy_dev_attach() but still
handling media on their own do not need to fiddle with the MII attach
arguments anyway.
- Keep track of the PHY offset in the mii_softc structure. This is done
for compatibility with NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- Keep track of the PHY's OUI, model and revision in the mii_softc
structure. Several PHY drivers require this information also after
attaching and previously had to wrap their own softc around mii_softc.
NetBSD/OpenBSD also keep track of the model and revision on their
mii_softc structure. All PHY drivers were updated to take advantage
as appropriate.
- Convert the mebers of the MII data structure to unsigned where
appropriate. This is partly inspired by NetBSD/OpenBSD.
- According to IEEE 802.3-2002 the bits actually have to be reversed
when mapping an OUI to the MII ID registers. All PHY drivers and
miidevs where changed as necessary. Actually this now again allows to
largely share miidevs with NetBSD, which fixed this problem already
9 years ago. Consequently miidevs was synced as far as possible.
- Add MIIF_NOMANPAUSE and mii_phy_flowstatus() calls to drivers that
weren't explicitly converted to support flow control before. It's
unclear whether flow control actually works with these but typically
it should and their net behavior should be more correct with these
changes in place than without if the MAC driver sets MIIF_DOPAUSE.

driver would verify that requests for child devices were confined to any
existing I/O windows, but the driver relied on the firmware to initialize
the windows and would never grow the windows for new requests. Now the
driver actively manages the I/O windows.
This is implemented by allocating a bus resource for each I/O window from
the parent PCI bus and suballocating that resource to child devices. The
suballocations are managed by creating an rman for each I/O window. The
suballocated resources are mapped by passing the bus_activate_resource()
call up to the parent PCI bus. Windows are grown when needed by using
bus_adjust_resource() to adjust the resource allocated from the parent PCI
bus. If the adjust request succeeds, the window is adjusted and the
suballocation request for the child device is retried.
When growing a window, the rman_first_free_region() and
rman_last_free_region() routines are used to determine if the front or
end of the existing I/O window is free. From using that, the smallest
ranges that need to be added to either the front or back of the window
are computed. The driver will first try to grow the window in whichever
direction requires the smallest growth first followed by the other
direction if that fails.
Subtractive bridges will first attempt to satisfy requests for child
resources from I/O windows (including attempts to grow the windows). If
that fails, the request is passed up to the parent PCI bus directly
however.
The PCI-PCI bridge driver will try to use firmware-assigned ranges for
child BARs first and only allocate a "fresh" range if that specific range
cannot be accommodated in the I/O window. This allows systems where the
firmware assigns resources during boot but later wipes the I/O windows
(some ACPI BIOSen are known to do this) to "rediscover" the original I/O
window ranges.
The ACPI Host-PCI bridge driver has been adjusted to correctly honor
hw.acpi.host_mem_start and the I/O port equivalent when a PCI-PCI bridge
makes a wildcard request for an I/O window range.
The new PCI-PCI bridge driver is only enabled if the NEW_PCIB kernel option
is enabled. This is a transition aide to allow platforms that do not
yet support bus_activate_resource() and bus_adjust_resource() in their
Host-PCI bridge drivers (and possibly other drivers as needed) to use the
old driver for now. Once all platforms support the new driver, the
kernel option and old driver will be removed.
