The hardware parsing of Control Wrapper Frames needs to be disabled, as
it has been causing spurious decryption error reports. The initvals for
other chips have been updated to disable it, but AR9580 was left out for
some reason.

ath_complete_reset will not be called if ath9k_hw_reset
is unsuccessful, so we need to re-enable intertupts to
balence the previous ath_prepare_reset call. Also schedule a
reset as a best effort method to recover the chip from
whatever state caused the channel change failure.

The beacon and multicast-buffer queues are managed by the beacon

The commit 'ath9k_hw: fix calibration issues on chainmask that don't
include chain 0' changed the hardware chainmask to the chip chainmask
for the duration of the calibration, but the revert to user
configuration in the reset path runs too early.
That causes some issues with limiting the number of antennas (including
spurious failure in hardware-generated packets).
Fix this by reverting the chainmask after the essential parts of the
calibration that need the workaround, and before NF calibration is run.

On many different chips, important aspects of the MAC state are not
fully cleared by a warm reset. This can show up as tx/rx hangs, those
annoying "DMA failed to stop in 10 ms..." messages or other quirks.
On AR933x, the chip can occasionally get stuck in a way that only a
driver unload/reload or a reboot would bring it back to life.
With this patch, a full reset is issued when bringing the chip out of
FULL-SLEEP state (after idle), or if either Rx or Tx was not shut down
properly. This makes the DMA related error messages disappear completely
in my tests on AR933x, and the chip does not get stuck anymore.

The ath9k commit 2ef167557c
(ath9k: fix signal strength reporting issues) fixed an issue where the
reported per-frame signal strength reported to mac80211 was being
overwritten with an internal average. The same issue is also present
in ath9k_htc.
In addition to preventing the driver from overwriting the value, this
commit also ensures that the internal average (which is used for ANI)
only tracks beacons of the AP that we're connected to.

For VHT, many more bandwidth changes are possible. As a first
step, stop toggling the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag
in the HT capabilities and instead introduce a bandwidth field
indicating the currently usable bandwidth to transmit to the
station. Of course, make all drivers use it.
To achieve this, make ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() get
the station as an argument, rather than the new capabilities,
so it can set up the new bandwidth field.
If the station is a VHT station and VHT bandwidth is in use,
also set the bandwidth accordingly.
Doing this allows us to get rid of the supports_40mhz flag as
the HT capabilities now reflect the true capability instead of
the current setting.
While at it, also fix ieee80211_ht_cap_ie_to_sta_ht_cap() to not
ignore HT cap overrides when MCS TX isn't supported (not that it
really happens...)

Currently, when the driver requires the DTIM period,
mac80211 will wait to hear a beacon before association.
This behavior is suboptimal since some drivers may be
able to deal with knowing the DTIM period after the
association, if they get it at all.
To address this, notify the drivers with bss_info_changed
with the new BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD flag when the DTIM
becomes known. This might be when changing to associated,
or later when the entire association was done with only
probe response information.
Rename the hardware flag for the current behaviour to
IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC to more accurately
reflect its behaviour. IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD is
no longer accurate as all drivers get the DTIM period
now, just not before association.

The sample data received through the spectral scan can be either in big or
little endian byteorder. This information isn't stored in the output file.
Therefore it is not possible for the analyzer software to find the correct byte
order.
It is relative common to get the data from a low end AP in big endian mode and
transfer it to another computer in little endian mode to analyze it. Therefore,
it would be better to store it in network (big endian) byte order.
The extension of the 8 bit bins for each bin to 16 bit is not necessary. This
operation can be done in userspace or on a different machine. Instead the
max_exp defining the amount of shifting required for each bin is exported to
userspace.
The change of the output format requires a change of the type in the sample
tlv to allow the userspace program to correctly detect the bin format.

When using the spectral scan feature, frames with phy errors are
returned for further processing to the driver. However, if the frames
also have an invalid CRC (which seems to happen quite often), the frame
is marked with bad CRC and not with the PHY error bit. The FFT
processing function will thus miss the frames.
Fix this by changing the precedence in error marking.
