wifi: mac80211: use wiphy locked debugfs helpers for agg_status

The read is currently with RCU and the write can deadlock,
convert both for the sake of illustration.

Make mac80211 depend on cfg80211 debugfs to get the helpers,
but mac80211 debugfs without it does nothing anyway. This
also required some adjustments in ath9k.

ath9k: fix build error with LEDS_CLASS=m

When CONFIG_ATH9K is built-in but LED support is in a loadable
module, both ath9k drivers fails to link:

x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/gpio.o: in function `ath_deinit_leds':
gpio.c:(.text+0x36): undefined reference to `led_classdev_unregister'
x86_64-linux-ld: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/gpio.o: in function `ath_init_leds':
gpio.c:(.text+0x179): undefined reference to `led_classdev_register_ext'

The problem is that the 'imply' keyword does not enforce any dependency
but is only a weak hint to Kconfig to enable another symbol from a
defconfig file.

Change imply to a 'depends on LEDS_CLASS' that prevents the incorrect
configuration but still allows building the driver without LED support.

The 'select MAC80211_LEDS' is now ensures that the LED support is
actually used if it is present, and the added Kconfig dependency
on MAC80211_LEDS ensures that it cannot be enabled manually when it
has no effect.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

ath9k: add loader for AR92XX (and older) pci(e)

Atheros cards with a AR92XX generation (and older) chip usually
store their pci(e) initialization vectors on an external eeprom chip.
However these chips technically don't need the eeprom chip attached,
the AR9280 Datasheet in section "6.1.2 DEVICE_ID" describes that
"... if the EEPROM content is not valid, a value of 0xFF1C returns
when read from the register". So, they will show up on the system's
pci bus. However in that state, ath9k can't load, since it relies
on having the correct pci-id, otherwise it doesn't know what chip it
actually is. This happens on many embedded devices like routers
and accesspoint since they want to keep the BOM low and store the
pci(e) initialization vectors together with the calibration data
on the system's FLASH, which is out of reach of the ath9k chip.

Furthermore, Some devices (like the Cisco Meraki Z1 Cloud Managed
Teleworker Gateway) need to be able to initialize the PCIe wifi device.
Normally, this should be done as a pci quirk during the early stages of
booting linux. However, this isn't possible for devices which have the
init code for the Atheros chip stored on NAND in an UBI volume.
Hence, this module can be used to initialize the chip when the
user-space is ready to extract the init code.

Martin Blumenstingl prodived the following fixes:
owl-loader: add support for OWL emulation PCI devices
owl-loader: don't re-scan the bus when ath9k_pci_fixup failed
owl-loader: use dev_* instead of pr_* logging functions
owl-loader: auto-generate the eeprom filename as fallback
owl-loader: add a debug message when swapping the eeprom data
owl-loader: add missing newlines in log messages

ath9k: move spectral scan support under a separate config symbol

At the moment, spectral scan support, and with it RELAY, is always enabled
with ATH9K[_HTC]_DEBUGFS. Spectral scan support is currently the only user
of RELAY in ath9k, and it unconditionally reserves a relay channel.

Having debugfs support in ath9k is often useful even on very small embedded
routers, where we'd rather like to avoid the code size and RAM usage of the
relay support.

ath9k: move RELAY and DEBUG_FS to ATH9K[_HTC]_DEBUGFS

Currently, the common ath9k_common module needs to have a
dependency on RELAY and DEBUG_FS in order to built. This
is usually not a problem. But for RAM and FLASH starved
AR71XX devices, every little bit counts.

This patch adds a new symbol CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON_DEBUG
which makes it possible to drop the RELAY and DEBUG_FS
dependency there and move it to ATH_(HTC)_DEBUGFS.

Note: The shared FFT/spectral code (which is the only user
of the relayfs in ath9k*) needs DEBUG_FS to export the relayfs
interface to dump the data to userspace. So it makes no sense
to have the functions compiled in, if DEBUG_FS is not there.

ath9k: feeding entropy in kernel from ADC capture

This patch is derived from
commit 6301566e0b2d ("ath9k: export HW random number generator"),

We evaluated the entropy of the ADC data on QCA9531, QCA9561, QCA955x,
and AR9340, and it has sufficient quality random data (at least 10 bits
and up to 22 bits of min-entropy for a 32-bit value). We conservatively
assume the min-entropy is 10 bits out of 32 bits. Thus, ATH9K_RNG_BUF_SIZE
is set to 320 (u32) i.e., 1.25 kilobytes of data is inserted to fill up
the pool as soon as the entropy counter becomes 896/4096 (set by random.c).
Since ADC was not designed to be a dedicated HW RNG, we do not want to bind
it to /dev/hwrng framework directly. This patch feeds the entropy directly
from the WiFi driver to the input pool. The ADC register output is only
used as a seed for the Linux entropy pool. No conditioning is needed,
since all the conditioning is performed by the pool itself.

ath9k: Remove ath9k rate control

There is no benefit in retaining the legacy rate control module
in the driver codebase.

It is known to be buggy and has less than optimal performance
in real-world environments compared with minstrel. The only
reason that it was kept when we made the switch to minstrel
as default was that it showed higher throughput numbers in a
clean/ideal environment.

This is no longer the case and minstrel can push ath9k to
the same throughput levels. In TCP, with 3-stream cards, more than
295 Mbps can be obtained in open air, with 2-stream cards,
210 Mbps is easily reached. To test performance issues,
instead of using a broken rate control module, it is better
to use the fixed-rate interface provided by mac80211 anyway.

The ath9k RC has not received any bug fixes in years and is
just bit-rotting away - this patch removes it.

ath9k: add TX99 support

TX99 support enables Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing.
SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF
exposure limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a
measure of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density
for transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.

Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
governmental SAR regulations.

In the examples below, for more bit rate options see the iw TX bitrate
setting documentation:

ath9k: Fix Kconfig for ATH9K_HTC

Ath9k consists of 2 different sub-modules: ATH9K and ATH9K_HTC.
Both uses common Atheros code from ath.ko and need ATH_COMMON.

However, while ATH9K selects ATH_COMMON, ATH9K_HTC does not.
As result, if ATH9K_HTC is the only Atheros card selected, compilation fails with
unresolved symbols.

This patch moves ATH_COMMON selection to the common part for both
ATH9K and ATH9K_HTC

wireless: allow Atheros card to not depend on ath.ko

There are 2 different things:
- sub-menu for "Atheros Wireless cards" family
- module ath.ko with common Atheros code

Until now, they both used to depend on the same Kconfig variable ATH_COMMON.
Thus, being "Atheros card" and "depending on ath.ko" was the same.

To allow module to belong to the
"Atheros Wireless cards" family but not use ath.ko,
2 conditions above need to be separated.

So, this patch introduce new Kconfig variable ATH_CARDS for belonging
to the "Atheros Wireless Cards" family; while ATH_COMMON becomes hidden
variable to express dependency on common Atheros code in ath.ko. Modules
that depend on this common code now express it by setting ATH_COMMON.

Right now, ath6kl do not depend on common code and thus do not set ATH_COMMON.

ath9k_hw: make bluetooth coexistence support optional at compile time

Many systems (e.g. embedded systems) do not have wifi modules connected to
bluetooth modules, so bluetooth coexistence is irrelevant there. With the
addition of MCI support, ath9k picked up quite a bit of extra code that
can be compiled out this way.

This patch redefines ATH9K_HW_CAP_MCI and adds an inline wrapper for
querying the bluetooth coexistence scheme, allowing the compiler to
eliminate code that uses it, with only very little use of #ifdef.

On MIPS this reduces the total size for the modules by about 20k.

We make oldconfig every time when a new kernel arrives, but
if we don't have such a device(I guess this is the most common
case for a new device), the default value should be 'n' so
that the kernel size we build doesn't grow up too much quickly.
For anyone who has the device, it is OK for them to turn it on

ath9k: introduce ATH9K_{PCI,AHB} config options

Currently ath9k only available in menuconfig if PCI bus
support is enabled. However the driver is required for
the built-in wireless MACs of the Atheros AR9130/AR9132
SoCs. These SoCs have no PCI controller, the wireless
MAC is connected to the AHB bus on them.

Introduce separated config options for the supported
buses, in order to allow building of ath9h without PCI
bus support.

As a bonus, this patch removes the cross-reference of
the ATHEROS_AR71XX option which is not present in the
kernel.

ath9k_common: add new module to share 802.11n driver helpers

ath9k and ath9k_htc share a lot of common hardware characteristics.
They only differ in that ath9k_htc works with a target CPU and ath9k
works directly with the hardware. ath9k_htc will do *some* things in
the firmware, but a lot of others on the host.

The common 802.11n hardware code is already shared through the ath9k_hw
module. Common helpers amongst all Atheros drivers can use the ath module,
this includes ath5k and ar9170 as users. But there is some common driver
specific helpers which are not exactly hardware code which ath9k and
ath9k_htc can share. We'll be using ath9k_common for this to avoid
bloating the ath module and the common 802.11n hardware module ath9k_hw.

We start by sharing skb pre and post processing in preparation for a hand
off to mac80211.

ath9k_hw will also be compiled in.
