    ath9k: RX stucks during heavy traffic in HT40 mode. · dd8b15b0

    Running iperf along with p2p traffic on both TX and RX side then
    stop one side, then stop the other side, then start it up again,
    eventually the STA gets into a mode that it can not pass data at
    all.
    
    A hardware workaround for invalid RSSI can make FIFO write pointer
    to jump over read pointer, causing RX data corruption and repeated
    DMA. Both TX and RX works fine when the workaround is disabled.
    
    To replace the original hardware work around, software looks for
    frames with post delimiter CRC error and mark the RSSI invalid so
    that the upperlayer will not use the RSSI associated with this
    frame. So disable the hardware workaround by updating the appropriate
    registers.
