mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS
mac80211 is telling drivers, in particular
iwlwifi, whether QoS is enabled or not.
However, this is only relevant for station mode,
since only then will any device send nullfunc
frames and need to know whether they should be
QoS frames or not. In other modes, there are
(currently) no frames the device is supposed to
send.
When you now consider virtual interfaces, it
becomes apparent that the current mechanism is
inadequate since it enables/disables QoS on a
global scale, where for nullfunc frames it has
to be on a per-interface scale.
Due to the above considerations, we can change
the way mac80211 advertises the QoS state to
drivers to only ever advertise it as "off" in
station mode, and make it a per-BSS setting.

When aggregation related action frames are enqueued for further work,
and they originate from a STA that is part of an AP VLAN, they are
currently enqueued for the AP interface. This breaks the sta_info_get()
lookup in the actual work function, and because of that, aggregation
sessions are not established for this STA.
Fix this by replacing the sta_info_get call with a call to
sta_info_get_bss.

Smatch complains that "upriv->read_urb" gets dereferenced before
checking for NULL. It turns out that it's possible for
"upriv->read_urb" to be NULL so I added checks around the dereferences.
Also I remove an "if (upriv->bap_buf != NULL)" check because
"kfree(NULL) is OK.

An A-MPDU may contain several subframes each containing its own
CRC for the data. Each subframe also has a respective CRC for the
MPDU length and 4 reserved bits (aka delimeter CRC). AR9003 will
ACK frames that have a valid data CRC but have failed to pass the
CRC for the MPDU length, if and only if the subframe is not the
last subframe in an A-MPDU and if an OFDM phy OFDM reset error has
been caught. Discarding those subframes results in packet loss under
heavy stress conditions, an example being UDP video. Since the
frames are ACK'd by hardware we need to let these frames through
and process them as valid frames.

There were a few places where the sc->rxlink pointer was set to NULL "just in
case". This helps nothing - quite to the contrary it is problematic since it
can create self-linked rx descriptors in the middle of the list of receive
buffers.
Here is an example how this could happen (thanks Bob!):
cpu 0: cpu 1:
ath5k_rx_stop
ath5k_tasklet_rx
sc->rxlink = NULL; /* just in case */
// following doesn't link used
// buffer to prev.
ath5k_rxbuf_setup()
In the case of ath5k_rx_stop() and ath5k_stop_locked() buffers/descriptors are
not changed so rxlink should not be changed as well.
In ath5k_intr() we seem to try to work around a hardware bug, as the comment
(which is copied 1:1 from the HAL) suggests. I don't see how this could help.
Also the HAL does not set rxlink in this case (So where does this code come
from? It has been there since the first import of ath5k). Changed to just
increment a statistics counter.
After this patch rxlink is only set to NULL before we initialize rx descriptors
and updated when the descriptors are linked together.

Based on a patch from Bruno Randolf, attempting useful
work while we are resetting the chip just leads to interface
lockups and bad descriptor data, and possibly DMAing to
freed buffers. Let's suspend all tasklets while
reprogramming the registers in the card to avoid such
problems.
In the future we can convert the tasklets to threaded
interrupt handlers to simplify things.

We currently trigger a reset via a tasklet when certain error
conditions are detected so that the card will (eventually)
restart. Unfortunately this makes locking complicated since
reset can also be called in process context (e.g. for channel
change). Currently nothing protects against concurrent resets,
which can be the source of corruption bugs.
Reset takes too long to spinlock the whole thing, so this
patch moves deferred resets into the mac80211 workqueue to
enable use of sc->lock mutex.

According to documentation, The following chip revisions were never sold:
- AR9280 v1.0
- AR9285 v1.0
- AR9285 v1.1
- AR9287 v1.0
Removing initvals specific to these chip revisions saves around 30k in
binary size (tested on MIPS).

The patch 'ath9k: fix a buffer leak in A-MPDU completion' addressed the
issue of running out of buffers/descriptors in the tx path if a STA is
deleted while tx status feedback is still pending.
The remaining issue is that the skbs of the buffers are not reclaimed,
leaving a memory leak.
This patch fixes this issue by running the buffers through
ath_tx_complete_buf(), ensuring that the pending frames counter is also
updated.
