# 301043 31-May-2016 adrian

[ath_hal] rename the MCI state info routine.

It's not /really/ "get state".


# 301014 31-May-2016 adrian

[ath_hal] migrate the bluetooth definitions out from ah.h / ar9300_freebsd_inc.h.

The eventual MCI driver side of things needs the MCI bits to live
in the HAL API so we can get to them.

Tested:

* QCA9565, STA mode + bluetooth


# 298939 02-May-2016 pfg

dev/ath: minor spelling fixes in comments.

No functional change.

# 290612 09-Nov-2015 adrian

ath(4): begin fleshing out a "reset type" extension to force cold/warn resets.

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.


# 280940 01-Apr-2015 adrian

Start the process of migrating the ANI statistics out of the HALs and into
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.


# 280827 29-Mar-2015 adrian

Add a new field to HAL_ANISTATS - the extension channel busy count.

This is only used by the AR9300 HAL for now - but just be careful if
you decide to recompile the kernel with NO_CLEAN=1.


# 277275 16-Jan-2015 adrian

Add bluetooth MCI coexistence HAL methods - used for AR9462 and AR9565 NICs.

It's found, amongst other things, in the Acer Chromebook (Intel)
devices.

Tested:

* AR9462 (WB222)

Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros


# 272292 30-Sep-2014 adrian

Add initial support for the AR9485 CUS198 / CUS230 variants.

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


# 265032 27-Apr-2014 adrian

* Add a new capability which returns whether the hardware supports
the MYBEACON RX filter (only receive beacons which match the BSSID)
or all beacons on the current channel.

* Add the relevant RX filter entry for MYBEACON.

Tested:

* AR5416, STA
* AR9285, STA

TODO:

* once the code is in -HEAD, just make sure that the code which uses it
correctly sets BEACON for pre-AR5416 chips.

Obtained from: QCA, Linux ath9k


# 262969 10-Mar-2014 adrian

Migrate the chip power mode status to public ath_hal, rather than the
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


# 251655 12-Jun-2013 adrian

Migrate the LNA mixing diversity machinery from the AR9285 HAL to the driver.

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


# 251483 07-Jun-2013 adrian

Add bluetooth fixes to the AR5416/AR92xx HAL:

* 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.


# 251400 04-Jun-2013 adrian

Add a new capability flag to announce that the chip implements LNA mixing
for the RX path.

This is different to the div comb HAL flag, that says it actually
can use this for RX diversity (the "slow" diversity path implemented
but disabled in the AR9285 HAL code.)

Tested:

* AR9285, STA operation


# 251360 04-Jun-2013 adrian

Add the combined (mixed) diversity support capability bit for the
AR9285/AR9485.


# 249131 05-Apr-2013 adrian

HAL additions to enable MCI Bluetooth coexistence in the AR9300 HAL.

* Add the rest of the missing GPIO output mux types;
* Add in a new debug category;
* And a new MCI btcoex configuration option in ath_hal.ah_config

# 247774 04-Mar-2013 adrian

add a method to set/clear the VMF field in the TX descriptor.

Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros


# 247366 26-Feb-2013 adrian

Add in the STBC TX/RX capability support into the HAL and driver.

The HAL already included the STBC fields; it just needed to be exposed
to the driver and net80211 stack.

This should allow single-stream STBC TX and RX to be negotiated; however
the driver and rate control code currently don't do anything with it.


# 247286 25-Feb-2013 adrian

Begin adding support to explicitly set the current chainmask.

Right now the only way to set the chainmask is to set the hardware
configured chainmask through capabilities. This is fine for forcing
the chainmask to be something other than what the hardware is capable
of (eg to reduce TX/RX to one connected antenna) but it does change what
the HAL hardware chainmask configuration is.

For operational mode changes, it (may?) make sense to separately control
the TX/RX chainmask.

Right now it's done as part of ar5416_reset.c - ar5416UpdateChainMasks()
calculates which TX/RX chainmasks to enable based on the operating mode.
(1 for legacy and whatever is supported for 11n operation.) But doing
this in the HAL is suboptimal - the driver needs to know the currently
configured chainmask in order to correctly enable things for each
TX descriptor. This is currently done by overriding the chainmask
config in the ar5416 TX routines but this has to disappear - the AR9300
HAL support requires the driver to dynamically set the TX chainmask based
on the TX power and TX rate in order to meet mini-PCIe slot power
requirements.

So:

* Introduce a new HAL method to set the operational chainmask variables;
* Introduce null methods for the previous generation chipsets;
* Add new driver state to record the current chainmask separate from
the hardware configured chainmask.

Part #2 of this will involve disabling ar5416UpdateChainMasks() and moving
it into the driver; as well as properly programming the TX chainmask
based on the currently configured HAL chainmask.

Tested:

* AR5416, STA mode - both legacy (11a/11bg) and 11n rates - verified
that AR_SELFGEN_MASK (the chainmask used for self-generated frames like
ACKs and RTSes) is correct, as well as the TX descriptor contents is
correct.


# 245281 11-Jan-2013 adrian

Place-holders for enable/active parameter flags.


# 244854 30-Dec-2012 adrian

Add the initial HAL glue for the spectral analysis support.

* Finish adding the HAL capability to announce whether a NIC supports
spectral scan or not;
* Add spectral scan methods to the HAL structure;
* Add HAL_SPECTRAL_PARAM for configuration of the spectral scan logic.

The capability ID and HAL_SPECTRAL_PARAM struct are from Qualcomm
Atheros.


# 243840 03-Dec-2012 adrian

Add and tie in the AR5416 bluetooth coexistence methods into the HAL.


# 243743 01-Dec-2012 adrian

Add a new HAL capability - check and enforce whether the NIC supports
enforcing the TXOP and TBTT limits:

* Frames which will overlap with TBTT will not TX;
* Frames which will exceed TXOP will be filtered.

This is not enabled by default; it's intended to be enabled by the
TDMA code on 802.11n capable chipsets.


# 243589 27-Nov-2012 adrian

Add a note about the magic values here; don't change them.


# 243424 23-Nov-2012 adrian

Implement a HAL method to set a 64 bit TSF value.

TODO: implement it (and test) for the AR5210/AR5211.


# 242689 07-Nov-2012 adrian

Add new HAL configuration features for the updated AR9300 HAL.


# 242509 03-Nov-2012 adrian

HAL API changes!

* introduce a new HAL API method to pull out the TX status descriptor
contents.

* Add num_delims to the 11n first aggr method. This isn't used by the
driver at the moment so it won't affect anything.


# 242407 31-Oct-2012 adrian

Add in the last random assortment of missing bits for the AR9380 HAL.

Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros


# 240623 17-Sep-2012 adrian

Rename AH_MIMO_MAX_CHAINS to AH_MAX_CHAINS, for compatibility with
internal atheros HAL code.


# 239890 30-Aug-2012 adrian

Migrate the AR9285 diversity configuration LNA configuration to use
some HAL definitions rather than local definitions.

The original source (ath9k) pulled this stuff from the QCA driver and
removed the HAL_* prefix. I'm just restoring the correct order of things.

Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros


# 239638 23-Aug-2012 adrian

Implement an API to fetch the default DFS parameters for the given chip.

The only chip this is currently implemented for is the AR5416 HAL family.
A follow-up commit will add AR5212 support.

# 239289 15-Aug-2012 adrian

# 239053 05-Aug-2012 adrian

Migrate the 802.11n ath_hal_chaintxdesc() API to use a buffer/segment
array, similar to what filltxdesc() uses.

This removes the last reference to ds_data in the TX path outside of
debugging statements. These need to be adjusted/fixed.

Tested:

* AR9280 STA/AP with iperf TCP traffic


# 239051 05-Aug-2012 adrian

Migrate the ath_hal_filltxdesc() API to take a list of buffer/seglen values.

The existing API only exposes 'seglen' (the current buffer (segment) length)
with the data buffer pointer set in 'ds_data'. This is fine for the legacy
DMA engine but it won't work for the EDMA engines.

The EDMA engine has a significantly different TX descriptor layout.

* The legacy DMA engine had a ds_data pointer at the same offset in the
descriptor for both TX and RX buffers;
* The EDMA engine has no ds_data for RX - the data is DMAed after the
descriptor;
* The EDMA engine has support for 4 TX buffer/segment pairs in the TX
DMA descriptor;
* The EDMA TX completion is in a different FIFO, and the driver will
'link' the status completion entry to a QCU by a "QCU ID".
I don't know why it's just not filled in by the hardware, alas.

So given that, here are the changes:

* Instead of directly fondling 'ds_data' in ath_desc, change the
ath_hal_filltxdesc() to take an array of buffer pointers as well
as segment len pointers;
* The EDMA TX completion status wants a descriptor and queue id.
This (for now) uses bf_state.bfs_txq and will extract the hardware QCU
ID from that.
* .. and this is ugly and wasteful; it should change to just store
the QCU in the bf_state and save 3/7 bytes in the process.

Now, the weird crap:

* The aggregate TX path was using bf_state->bfs_txq for the TXQ, rather than
taking a function argument. I've tidied that up.
* The multicast queue frames get put on a software TXQ and then that is
appended to the hardware CABQ when appropriate. So for now, make sure
that bf_state->bfs_txq points at the CABQ when adding frames to the
multicast queue.
* .. but the multicast queue TX path for now doesn't use the software
queue and instead
(a) directly sets up the descriptor contents at that point;
(b) the frames on the vap->avp_mcastq are then just appended wholesale
to the CABQ.
So for now, I don't have to worry about making the multicast path
work with aggregation or the per-TID software queue. Phew.

What's left to do:

* I need to modify the 11n ath_hal_chaintxdesc() API to do the same.
I'll do that in a subsequent commit.
* Remove bf_state.bfs_txq entirely and store the QCU as appropriate.
* .. then do the runtime "is this going on the right HWQ?" checks using
that, rather than comparing pointer values.

Tested on:

* AR9280 STA/AP
* AR5416 STA/AP


# 238857 28-Jul-2012 adrian

Commit missing #define from a previous check-in.

The AR9300 and later have an 8-deep TX FIFO for each hardware queue.


# 238841 27-Jul-2012 adrian

Add a STBC TX flag.

Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros


# 238840 27-Jul-2012 adrian

# 238839 27-Jul-2012 adrian

Introduce a couple more fields in the rate scenario setup as part of
(future) TPC support in the AR9300 HAL.

This is effectively a no-op for the moment as (a) TPC isn't really
supported, (b) the AR9300 HAL isn't yet public, and (c) the existing
HAL code doesn't use these fields.

Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros


# 238838 27-Jul-2012 adrian

Bring this API in line with what the reference driver and Linux ath9k
was doing.

Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros, Linux ath9k


# 238731 23-Jul-2012 adrian

Add a new HAL method - the AR93xx and later NICs have a separate
TX descriptor ring for TX status completion. This API call will pass
the allocated buffer details to the HAL.


# 238607 19-Jul-2012 adrian

Break out the TX descriptor link field into HAL methods.

The DMA FIFO chips (AR93xx and later) differ slightly to th elegacy
chips:

* The RX DMA descriptors don't have a ds_link field;
* The TX DMA descriptors have a ds_link field however at a different
offset.

This is a reimplementation based on what the reference driver and ath9k
does.

A subsequent commit will enable it in the TX and beacon paths.

Commit missing flags for the high/low priority (HP/LP) RX queues.

Noticed by: everyone


# 238280 09-Jul-2012 adrian

Introduce the EDMA related HAL capabilities.

Whilst here, fix a typo in a previous commit.

Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros


# 238278 09-Jul-2012 adrian

Extend the RX HAL API to include the RX queue identifier.

The AR93xx and later chips support two RX FIFO queues - a high and low
priority queue.

For legacy chips, just assume the queues are high priority.

This is inspired by the reference driver but is a reimplementation of
the API and code.


# 237957 02-Jul-2012 adrian

.. And fix another typo. Grr.


# 237956 02-Jul-2012 adrian

Fix another typo.


# 237955 02-Jul-2012 adrian

Fix typo.


# 237953 02-Jul-2012 adrian

Bring over some further HAL capabilities from the Atheros HAL, as well
as an EDMA check function.

For the AR9003 and later NICs, different TX/RX DMA and descriptor handling
code will be conditional on the EDMA check.

Obtained from: Qualcomm Atheros


# 237874 01-Jul-2012 adrian

Add in some further changes from the AR9300 HAL:

* Add a new ANI variable, for AR9003 and later chips;
* The AR9003 and later series chips support two RX queues now, so start
down the road of supporting that;
* Add some new TX queue types - uAPSD is possible on earlier chips,
but PAPRD is relevant to AR9003 and later.

oops - ath_hal_disablepcie is actually destined for another purpose,

Correctly handle AR_MoreAggr when assembling multi-descriptor final frames.

Linux ath9k doesn't have this issue as it doesn't try queuing multi-
descriptor frames to the hardware.

Before, I was only setting the first and last descriptor in the final
frame correctly - and that was done by accident. The first descriptor in
the last sub-frame was being correctly updated by ath_tx_setds_11n();
the last descriptor in the last sub-frame was being correctly updated
by ath_buf_set_rate(). But both of those are "incorrect".

The correct behaviour is:

* AR_IsAggr is set for all descriptors for all subframes in an aggregate.
* AR_MoreAggr is set for all descriptors for all non-final sub-frames
in an aggregate.

Ie, all descriptors in the last sub-frame of an aggregate must have this
field set to 0.

I still need to do a couple of extra passes to ensure the pad delimiter
field is being correctly handled in all descriptors in the last sub-frame.

Break out the "memory" EEPROM data read method from being AR9130 specific

Other embedded SoCs also throw the configuration/PCI register
info into flash.

For now I'm just hard-coding the AR9280 option (for on-board AR9220's on
AP94 and commercial designs (eg D-Link DIR-825.))

TODO:

* Figure out how to support it for all 11n SoC NICs by doing it in
ar5416InitState();
* Don't hard-code the EEPROM size - add another field which is set
by the relevant chip initialisation code.
* 'owl_eep_start_loc' may need to be overridden in some cases to 0x0.
I need to do some further digging.


# 227410 09-Nov-2011 adrian

Introduce a work-around for issues with the AR5416 based MAC on SMP devices.

The AR5416 MAC (which shows up in the AR5008, AR9001, AR9002 devices) has
issues with PCI transactions on SMP machines. This work-around enforces
that register access is serialised through a (global for now) spinlock.

This should stop the hangs people have seen with the AR5416 PCI devices
on SMP hosts.

* Add the HAL interrupt debugging behind AH_INTERRUPT_DEBUGGING.

Neither are enabled by default, although to minimise HAL binary
API differences, the ah_intrstate[] array is always compiled into
the ath_hal struct.

# 226488 18-Oct-2011 adrian

Implement the first part of the BB read workaround.

The AR5008/AR9001 series NICs have a bug where BB register reads
will occasionally be corrupted. This could cause issues with things
such as ANI, which adjust operational parameters based on the
BB radio register reads. This was introduced in the AR5008 chip
and fixed with the first released AR9002 series NIC (AR9280v2.)

A followup commit will implement the acutal WAR when reading
BB registers. I'm still not sure how I'll implement it - whether
it should be done in the osdep layer, or whether it should just
live in the AR5416 HAL. Either way, they can use this capability
bit to determine whether to implement the WAR or not.

Thankyou to various sources inside Atheros who have helped me track
down what this particular issue is.

# 225444 07-Sep-2011 adrian

Update the TSF and next-TBTT methods to work for the AR5416 and later NICs.
This is another commit in a series of TDMA support fixes for the 11n NICs.

* Move ath_hal_getnexttbtt() into the HAL; write methods for it.
This returns a timer value in TSF, rather than TU.

* Move ath_hal_getcca() and ath_hal_setcca() into the HAL too, where they
likely now belong.

* Create a new HAL capability: HAL_CAP_LONG_RXDESC_TSF.
The pre-11n NICs write 15 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor;
the AR5416 and later write 32 bit TSF snapshots into the RX descriptor.
* Use the new capability to choose between 15 and 31 bit TSF adjustment
functions in ath_extend_tsf().

* Write ar5416GetTsf64() and ar5416SetTsf64() methods.
ar5416GetTsf64() tries to compensate for TSF changes at the 32 bit boundary.

According to yin, this fixes the TDMA beaconing on 11n chipsets and TDMA
stations can now associate/talk, but there are still issues with traffic
stability which need to be investigated.

The ath_hal_extendtsf() function is also used in RX packet timestamping;
this may improve adhoc mode on the 11n chipsets. It also will affect the
timestamps seen in radiotap frames.

# 224716 08-Aug-2011 adrian

Introduce some more DFS related hooks, inspired both by local work
and the Atheros reference code.

The radar detection code needs to know what the current DFS domain is.
Since net80211 doesn't currently know this information, it's extracted
from the HAL regulatory domain information.

The specifics:

* add a new ath_dfs API hook, ath_dfs_init_radar_filters(), which
updates the radar filters whenever the regulatory domain changes.
* add HAL_DFS_DOMAIN which describes the currently configured DFS domain .
* add a new HAL internal variable which tracks the currently configured
HAL DFS domain.
* add a new HAL capability, HAL_CAP_DFS_DMN, which returns the currently
configured HAL DFS domain setting.
* update the HAL DFS domain setting whenever the channel setting is
updated.

Since this isn't currently used by any radar code, these should all
be no-ops for existing users.

set, based on something previously written. I'll sort it out
later.

* Don't set HAL_PHYERR_PARAM_ENABLE in pe_relstep to say whether
radar detection is on.

* Return whether blockradar, fir128 and enmaxrssi is enabled.

* Change some of the phyerr params to be integers rather than
HAL_BOOL so they can be set to the NOPARAM value when the
setup function is called. This is in line with other radar
parameters.

* Add new configuration parameters for fir128, blockradar and
enmaxrssi, rather than defaulting to off, on and on respectively.

# 223459 23-Jun-2011 adrian

Break out most of the HAL related tweaks into a per-HAL instance,
rather than global variables.

This specifically allows for debugging to be enabled per-NIC, rather
than globally.

Since the ath driver doesn't know about AH_DEBUG, and to keep the ABI
consistent regardless of whether AH_DEBUG is enabled or not, enable the
debug parameter always but only conditionally compile in the debug
methods if needed.

The ALQ support is currently still global pending some brainstorming.

Flesh out a new HAL method to fetch the radar PHY error frame information.

For the AR5211/AR5212, this is apparently a one byte pulse duration
counter value. It is only coded up here for the AR5212 as I don't have
any AR5211-series hardware to test it on.

This information was extracted from the Madwifi DFS branch along with
some local additions.

Please note - all this does is extract out the radar event duration,
it in no way reflects the presence of a radar. Further code is needed
to take a set of radar events and filter them to extract out correct
radar pulse trains (and ignore other events.)

* Add new capability bits outlining what the DFS capabilities
are of the various chipsets.
* Add HAL methods to set and get the radar related register values.
* Add AR5212 and AR5416+ DFS radar related register value
routines.
* Add a missing HAL phy error code that's related to radar event
processing.
* Add HAL_PHYERR_PARAM, a data type that encapsulates the radar
register values.

The AR5212 routines are just for completeness. The AR5416 routines
are a super-set of those; I may later on do a drive-by pass to
tidy up duplicate code.

The current ANI capability information uses a different set of
values for the commands, compared to the internal command values
(HAL_ANI_CMD.)

My eventual aim is to make the HAL_ANI_CMD internal enum match
the public API and then remove all this messiness.

This now allows HAL_CAP_INTMIT users to use a public HAL_CAP_INTMIT_
enum rather than magic constants.

The only magic constants currently used by if_ath are "enable" and
"present". Some local tools of mine allow for direct, manual fiddling
of the ANI variables and I'll convert these to use the public enum API
before I commit them.

Begin fleshing out a public HAL routine to export the per-chain
ctl/ext noise floor values.

This routine doesn't check to see whether the radio is MIMO
capable - instead, it simply returns either the raw values,
the "nominal" values if the raw values aren't yet available
or are invalid, or '0' values if there's no valid channel/
no valid MIMO values.

Callers are expected to verify the radio is a MIMO radio
(which for now means it's an 11n chipset, there are non-11n
MIMO chipsets out there but I don't think we support them,
at least in MIMO mode) before exporting the MIMO values.


# 220442 08-Apr-2011 adrian

Export the per-chain ctl/ext noise floor values, raw and uncut, to the
upper-level HAL.

Right now the per-chain noise floor values aren't used anywhere in
the upper-level HAL, so the driver currently has no real reference
to compare the per-chain RSSI values to.

This is needed before per-chain RSSI values (for ctl and ext radios)
are can be thrown upstairs to the net80211 code.


# 220324 04-Apr-2011 adrian

Add a HAL capability bit for supporting self-linked RX descriptors and disable it for the 11n chipsets.

From the ath9k source:

==

11N: we can no longer afford to self link the last descriptor.
MAC acknowledges BA status as long as it copies frames to host
buffer (or rx fifo). This can incorrectly acknowledge packets
to a sender if last desc is self-linked.

==

Since this is useful for pre-AR5416 chips that communicate PHY errors
via error frames rather than by on-chip counters, leave the support
in there, but disable it for AR5416 and later.

Even though they map to setting the error filter register,
ath9k also writes them untouched to AR_RX_FILTER.

the completion schedule from the hardware and returns AH_TRUE if
the hardware supports multi-rate retries (AR5212 and above); and
returns AH_FALSE if the hardware doesn't support multi-rate retries.

The sample rate module directly reads the TX completion descriptor
and extracts the TX schedule information from that. It will be

the completion schedule.

Overhaul regulatory support:
o remove HAL_CHANNEL; convert the hal to use net80211 channels; this
mostly involves mechanical changes to variable names and channel
attribute macros
o gut HAL_CHANNEL_PRIVATE as most of the contents are now redundant
with the net80211 channel available
o change api for ath_hal_init_channels: no more reglass id's, no more outdoor
indication (was a noop), anM contents
o add ath_hal_getchannels to have the hal construct a channel list without
altering runtime state; this is used to retrieve the calibration list for
the device in ath_getradiocaps
o add ath_hal_set_channels to take a channel list and regulatory data from
above and construct internal state to match (maps frequencies for 900MHz
cards, setup for CTL lookups, etc)
o compact the private channel table: we keep one private channel
per frequency instead of one per HAL_CHANNEL; this gives a big
space savings and potentially improves ani and calibration by
sharing state (to be seen; didn't see anything in testing); a new config
option AH_MAXCHAN controls the table size (default to 96 which
was chosen to be ~3x the largest expected size)
o shrink ani state and change to mirror private channel table (one entry per
frequency indexed by ic_devdata)
o move ani state flags to private channel state
o remove country codes; use net80211 definitions instead
o remove GSM regulatory support; it's no longer needed now that we
pass in channel lists from above
o consolidate ADHOC_NO_11A attribute with DISALLOW_ADHOC_11A
o simplify initial channel list construction based on the EEPROM contents;
we preserve country code support for now but may want to just fallback
to a WWR sku and dispatch the discovered country code up to user space
so the channel list can be constructed using the master regdomain tables
o defer to net80211 for max antenna gain
o eliminate sorting of internal channel table; now that we use ic_devdata
as an index, table lookups are O(1)
o remove internal copy of the country code; the public one is sufficient
o remove AH_SUPPORT_11D conditional compilation; we always support 11d
o remove ath_hal_ispublicsafetysku; not needed any more
o remove ath_hal_isgsmsku; no more GSM stuff
o move Conformance Test Limit (CTL) state from private channel to a lookup
using per-band pointers cached in the private state block
o remove regulatory class id support; was unused and belongs in net80211
o fix channel list construction to set IEEE80211_CHAN_NOADHOC,
IEEE80211_CHAN_NOHOSTAP, and IEEE80211_CHAN_4MSXMIT
o remove private channel flags CHANNEL_DFS and CHANNEL_4MS_LIMIT; these are
now set in the constructed net80211 channel
o store CHANNEL_NFCREQUIRED (Noise Floor Required) channel attribute in one
of the driver-private flag bits of the net80211 channel
o move 900MHz frequency mapping into the hal; the mapped frequency is stored
in the private channel and used throughout the hal (no more mapping in the
driver and/or net80211)
o remove ath_hal_mhz2ieee; it's no longer needed as net80211 does the
calculation and available in the net80211 channel
o change noise floor calibration logic to work with compacted private channel
table setup; this may require revisiting as we no longer can distinguish
channel attributes (e.g. 11b vs 11g vs turbo) but since the data is used
only to calculate status data we can live with it for now
o change ah_getChipPowerLimits internal method to operate on a single channel
instead of all channels in the private channel table
o add ath_hal_gethwchannel to map a net80211 channel to a h/w frequency
(always the same except for 900MHz channels)
o add HAL_EEBADREG and HAL_EEBADCC status codes to better identify regulatory
problems
o remove CTRY_DEBUG and CTRY_DEFAULT enum's; these come from net80211 now
o change ath_hal_getwirelessmodes to really return wireless modes supported
by the hardware (was previously applying regulatory constraints)
o return channel interference status with IEEE80211_CHANSTATE_CWINT (should
change to a callback so hal api's can take const pointers)
o remove some #define's no longer needed with the inclusion of
<net80211/_ieee80211.h>
