The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

The flag isn't very descriptive -- the intention
is that the driver provides a TSF timestamp at

The register definition for retry configuration on AR5212 was wrong, and simply
copied over from AR5210. Update the register definitions from the documentation.
Let the short and long retries be configured from mac80211 and use the standard
values of 7 and 4 by default. Also we need to make sure we don't export more
retries than we are configured for to mac80211 (and the rate module) in
hw->max_rate_tries.
Also clean up the code by removing unused defines and variables and drop the
different values for "station retries" - if these need to be different it can
be handled tru ah_retry_long/short.

This adds a few tracepoints to ath5k driver transmit and
receive callbacks in order to record packet traffic.
We record the entire packet in the trace buffer so that
the data can be extracted with trace-cmd and external
plugins.
Compared to the previous debugging calls, this approach
removes an out-of-line function call from the tx and rx
paths in the compiled-in-but-disabled case, while
improving the ability to process the logged data.
A new option, CONFIG_ATH5K_TRACER, is added so that one
may disable the tracepoints completely.

The old survey implementation was broken and returned nonsense data.
Clear cycle counters and survey data on reset. Since the cycle counters easily
overflow it's better to keep a local version of collected survey data (in ms
resolution, instead of clockrate) and update this every time survey is
retrieved. If survey is retrieved often enough to avoid cycle counter overflows
this works fine, otherwise we could update survey more often, like ath9k does.
Still only the survey for the current channel is kept.

* Add synth-only channel change for AR2413/5413. When we call
ath5k_reset with a channel ath5k_hw_reset will first try to
set channel on PHY while PHY is running instead of doing a normal
full reset. To do this phy_init has to change to implement this
functionality.
* Clean up change_channel flag, what it really did was skip PCU
registers when setting initvals. This is done because on reset
PCU registers are not affected (except the registers we set
in pcu init and -due to hw problems- TSF). Use a new skip_pcu
flag that's not misleading instead. In the future we might use
that to also skip PCU reset and save us the TSF etc problems
(needs testing because standard practice is to reset everything).
* Use fast channel change only when setting channel, and set skip_pcu
to false only on init. When we reset the card due to DMA or PHY
problems skip pcu but never do a fast channel change.
