This is a re-implementation based on the reference carrier code
for the AR5413.
Tested:
* Pulse detection for AR5212 and AR5413, to ensure the
correct behaviour for both chips
PR: kern/170904

The comparison assumes maxFirstepLevel is a count, rather than a maximum
value. The array is 3 entries in size however 'maxFirstepLevel' is 2.
This bug also exists in the AR5212 HAL.
DFS parameters fetched from the HAL.
Check whether the specific chipset supports RADAR reporting before
enabling DFS; or some of the (unset) DFS methods may fail.
Tested:
* AR5210 (correctly didn't enable radar PHY reporting)
* AR5212 (correctly enabled radar PHY reporting w/ the correct default
parameters.)
TODO:
* Now that I have this capability check in place, I could remove the
(empty) DFS methods from AR5210/AR5211.
* Test on AR5416, AR9160, AR9280.

* mfp support;
* 4.9ghz support in the HAL;
* device type - specifically, the bus type and whether it's a HB63
NIC (which requires some subtle chainmask handling differences
in the AR5416 HAL.)

Note: This is totally sub-optimal and a work in progress.
* Support filling an empty FIFO TXQ with frames from the ath_buf queue
in the ath_txq list. However, since there's (currently) no clean, easy
way to separate the frames that are in the FIFO versus just waiting,
the code waits for the FIFO to be totally empty before it attempts to
queue more. This is highly sub-optimal but is enough to get the ball
rolling.
* A _lot_ of the code assumes that the TX status is filled out in the
struct ath_buf bf_status field. So for now, memcpy() the completion over.
* None of the TX drain / reset routines will attempt to complete completed
frames before draining, so it can't be used for 802.11n TX aggregation.
(This won't work anyway, as the aggregation TX descriptor API hasn't
yet been converted; and that'll happen in some future commits.)
* Fix an issue where the FIFO counter wasn't being incremented, leading
to the queue logic just plain not working.
* HAL_EIO means "descriptor wasn't valid", versus "not finished, don't
continue." So don't stop processing descriptors when HAL_EIO is hit.
* Don't service frame completion from the beacon queue. It isn't currently
fully setup like a real queue and the first attempt at accessing the
queue lock will panic the kernel.
Tested:
* AR9380, STA mode
This commit is brought to you by said AR9380 in STA mode.
sizeof(struct ath_desc). This isn't correct for EDMA TX descriptors.
This popped up during iperf tests. Ping tests never created frames that
had enough segments to overflow into a second descriptor. However,
an iperf TCP test would do that after a few seconds; the second descriptor
would almost always certainly have garbage.
Tested:
* AR9380, STA mode
* AR9280, STA mode (802.11n TX, legacy TX)
EDMA code.
* create a new TX EDMA descriptor struct to represent TX EDMA descriptors
when doing debugging;
* implement an EDMA printing function which:
+ hardcodes the TX map size to 4 for now;
+ correctly prints out the number of segments - there's one descriptor
for up to 4 buffers (segments), not one for each segment;
+ print out 4 DS buffer and len pointers;
+ print out the correct number of DWORDs in the TX descriptor.
TODO:
* Remove all of the hard-coded stuff. Ew.
is marked correctly.
The existing logic assumed that the first descriptor is i == 0, which
doesn't hold for EDMA TX. In this instance, the first time filltxdesc()
is called can be up to i == 3.
So for a two-buffer descriptor:
* firstSeg is set to 0;
* lastSeg is set to 1;
* the ath_hal_filltxdesc() code will treat it as the last segment in
a descriptor chain and blank some of the descriptor fields, causing
the TX to stop.
When firstSeg is set to 1 (regardless of lastSeg), it overrides the
lastSeg setting. Thus, ath_hal_filltxdesc() won't blank out these
fields.
Tested: AR9380, STA mode. With this, association is successful.
* the descriptor ID, and
* the multi-buffer support that the EDMA chips support.
This is required for successful MAC transmission of multi-descriptor
frames. The MAC simply hangs if there are NULL buffers + 0 length pointers,
but the descriptor did have TxMore set.
This won't be done for the 11n aggregate path, as that will be modified
to use the newer API (ie, ath_hal_filltxdesc() and then set first|middle|
last_aggr), which will deprecate some of the current code.
TODO:
* Populate the numTxMaps field in the HAL, then make sure that's fetched
by the driver. Then I can undo that hack.
Tested:
* AR9380, AP mode, TX'ing non-aggregate 802.11n frames;
* AR9280, STA/AP mode, doing aggregate and non-aggregate traffic.
This is required to support > MCS15 as more than 32 bit rate entries are
suddenly available.
This is quite messy - instead of doing typecasts at each mask operation,
this should be migrated to use a macro and have that do the typecast.
re-used by the upcoming EDMA TX completion code.
Make ath_stoptxdma() public, again so the EDMA TX code can use it.
Don't check for the TXQ bitmap in the ISR when doing EDMA work as it
doesn't apply for EDMA.
