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.

Use the new per-series antenna and TPC definitions when setting ctl8->11.

This should hopefully make it clearer to developers what is going on
and when TPC is being hacked on, make it obvious why it isn't working for
series 1, 2, 3.

I won't flip on setting TX power for TX series 1, 2, 3 until I've done
some further testing with Kite to ensure it doesn't break anything.
(Before people ask - yes, TPC is only needed for 5ghz regdomains and
yes, Kite is a 2.4ghz only chip, but there are potential use cases
for 2ghz TPC. I just need to sit down and ensure it's supported and
functional.)

Bring over a few queue changes from ath9k:

* add pspoll/uapsd queue setup defaults;
* enable the exponential backoff window rather than the random
backoff window when doing TX contention management.

* Remove a not-needed check in the AR5416+ case
* Restore the chip default of the DCU backoff threshold to 0x2,
mirroring what ath9k does.

Bring over a copy of the AR5212 TX queue reset and setup routines, in preparation
for fixing them based on the ath9k related TXQ fixes.

I've done this so people can go over the history of the diffs to the original
AR5212 routines (which AR5416 and later chips use) to see what's changed.

Add a temporary workaround so the 11n rate scenario setup code sets a useful
TX chainmask.

since the upper layers don't (yet) know about the active TX/RX chainmasks,
it can't tell the rate scenario functions what to use. I'll eventually sort
this out; this restores functionality in the meantime.

Just to be sure, make sure the MCS rates are allowed for TX.

Don't incorrectly set the burst duration setting in the TX descriptor.

After inspecting the ath9k source, it seems the AR5416 and later MACs
don't take an explicit RTS/CTS duration. A per-scenario (ie, what multi-
rate retry became) rts/cts control flag and packet duration is provided;
the hardware then apparently fills in whatever details are required.
The per-rate sp/lpack duration calculation just isn't used anywhere
in the ath9k TX packet length calculations.

The burst duration register controls something different; it seems to
be involved with RTS/CTS protection of 11n aggregate frames and is set
via a call to ar5416Set11nBurstDuration().

I've done some light testing with rts/cts protected frames and nothing
seems to break; but this may break said RTS/CTS and CTS-to-self protection.

Fix some errors introduced w/ the last commit; fix setting RTS/CTS in the 11n rate scenario.

* I messed up a couple of things in if_athvar.h; so fix that.
* Undo some guesswork done in ar5416Set11nRateScenario() and introduce a
flags parameter which lets the caller set a few things. To begin with,
this includes whether to do RTS or CTS protection.
* If both RTS and CTS is set, only do RTS. Both RTS and CTS shouldn't be
set on a frame.

Link in the 11n specific TX methods into the HAL.

Bring over a fix from ath9k - zero some of the TX descriptors for Kite/AR9285.

Kite doesn't have per-chain control (it has one chain) or antenna control; so
don't try to set those descriptor entries.

Add a new HAL method to retrieve the completion schedule. It sets
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
updated in a future commit to instead use this method to determine
the completion schedule.

Couple of suggestions from Sam regarding latest commit:
o rename the new variables to comply with the naming scheme
o move the new variables to an AR5212 specific struct
o use ahp when available
o revert to previous ts_flags check

Properly setup the TX FIFO threshold for AR5416 based chipsets,
including the AR9285. This seems to fix some users's problems.

purge HAL_TXSTAT_ALTRATE; you can figure this out by checking ts_finaltsi
and it cannot be used with MCS rate codes

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>

add FreeBSD property

import ath hal

Replace most compile-time support options with linker sets for
chip and RF backend support:
o add OS_DATA_SET and OS_SET_DECLARE os requirements for setting
up linker sets
o add AH_CHIP macro for registering chip support (e.g. 5210)
o add AH_RF macro for registering RF support (e.g. 2413); note
this isn't required for single chip solutions where there's no
ambiguity (e.g. 5416/9160+2133) but for 5212 class parts it's
required because of the multi-chip solutions
o remove all uses of AH_SUPPORT_AR5210, AH_SUPPORT_AR5211, AH_SUPPORT_5212,
and AH_SUPPORT_AR9160; still need AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 to enable the 11n
descriptor formats and 5312 support is presently broken
o remove all uses of AH_SUPPORT_2133, AH_SUPPORT_2413, AH_SUPPORT_5111,
AH_SUPPORT_5112, AH_SUPPORT_2417, AH_SUPPORT_2425, and AH_SUPPORT_5413;
5312-related support still requires fixup

Remaining issues:
o fixup SoC attach
o ath_hal_attach uses a hack to probe w/o access to the vendorid
o fallback handling of parts w/o a macrev needs to be restored

Update to later code from my repository:
o many bug fixes
o add new periodic calibration api
o break up 5416 periodic calibration code in preparation for 928x
o move get noise floor to rf backends
o 5416-specific ani (still disabled)
o modularize 5210 eeprom format a la other eeprom formats
o start cleaning up regdomain code
o prepare for proper 1/2 and 1/4 width channel support
o bring back 900MHz card support
o clean up 5212 rf version handling
o add 1/2 and 1/4 width channel support for 5212 parts
o split 5212 rfgain handling out
o improve ani debugging
o add AH_USE_INIPDGAIN compile option
o purge a bunch of dead 5212 state
o add 1/2 and 1/4 rate modes
o remove HAL_CAP_CHAN_HALFRATE and HAL_CAP_CHAN_QUARTERRATE; the
same info can now be deduced from the set of supported modes
