get_tx_stats() will be removed from mac80211.
Because ar9170 uses ieee80211_tx_queue_stats internally, create a new
identical struct ar9170_tx_queue_stats which the driver can use.
Compile-tested only.

Calling ath_bus_cleanup() after ieee80211_free_hw() resulted in access
to common->bus_ops, which is already freed as part of the device data.
Remove the cleanup field in struct ath_bus_ops, as it was never used
properly. Remove ath_bus_cleanup(). Merge cleanup functions in place
of the ath_bus_cleanup() calls. Take care not to use any device data
after ieee80211_free_hw().

ath9k currently forces hw->max_rate_tries to 4 to work around rate
control inefficiencies. This has some negative side effects, such as
rate_control_send_low also using a maximum of 4 tries, which could
negatively affect reliability of unicast management frames.
This patch pushes the retry limit to the rate control instead, and
allows it to use more tries on the last stage to prevent unnecessary
packet loss.

ath9k: Enable Fractional N mode
changed the hw attach code to fix up initialization values only for
dual band devices, however the commit message did not give a reason as
to why this would be useful or necessary.
According to tests by Jorge Boncompte, this breaks at least some
2GHz-only cards, so the code should be changed back to the
unconditional INI fixup.

As all bt packets are priority traffic during bt scan, wifi
will get disconnected when bt scan lasts for few seconds. Fix
this by allocating 10% of bt period time (4.5ms) to wifi fully.

The beacon sent gating doesn't seem to work with any combination
of flags. Thus, buffered frames tend to stay buffered forever,
using up tx descriptors.
Instead, use the DBA gating and hold transmission of the buffered
frames until 80% of the beacon interval has elapsed using the ready
time. This fixes the following error in AP mode:
ath5k phy0: no further txbuf available, dropping packet
Add a comment to acknowledge that this isn't the best solution.

When cleaning up beacon buffers and slots, ath9k currently checks if
sc->ah->opmode is set to a beacon related mode before cleaning up
buffers.
An unfortunate ordering of interface up/down commands can lead to
sc->ah->opmode being set to monitor mode, while there are AP interfaces
present on the same wiphy.
Always cleaning up beacon buffers if present fixes this issue.

Users wishing to tweak tx power want it to happen immediately,
try to respect that. This was tested by Lorenzo by measuring the
received signal strength from an AP with ath9k and the patch.
Changing the tx power on the AP produced these results:
1) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 20 ---> Rx power -37dbm
2) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15 ---> Rx power -41dbm
3) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 10 ---> Rx power -45dbm
4) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 5 ---> Rx power -51dbm
5) iwconfig wlan0 txpower 0 ---> Rx power -37dbm
The result with 0 is an anomoly and would need to be
addressed through a separate patch.

The Tx DMA descriptor has two kinds of flags that select RTS/CTS usage.
The first one (global for the frame) selects whether RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-self should be used, the second one enables RTS/CTS or
CTS-to-self usage for an individual multi-rate-retry entry.
Previously the code preparing the descriptor only enabled the global
flag, if the first MRR series selected the local one.
Fix this by enabling the global flag if any of the MRR entries need it.
With this patch, rate control can properly select the use of RTS/CTS
for all MRR entries except the first one, which is the default behavior.

Previously ath9k left the initialization of slot timing and ACK/CTS
timeout to the mode specific initvals. This does not handle short vs
long slot in 2.4 GHz and uses a rather strange value for the 2.4 GHz
ACK timeout (64 usec).
This patch uses the proper ath9k_hw functions for setting slot time and
timeouts and also implements the switch between short and long slot
time in 2.4 GHz

The device has to be marked as invalid before
registering the ISR. HW initialization takes place
after the ISR has been registered, and the invalid
flag is eventually cleared in the ->stop() callback.
