The code for handling various restrictions concerning regulatory limits, antenna gain, etc. is very convoluted and duplicated across various EEPROM parsing implementations, making it hard to review. This patch partially cleans up the mess by unifying regulatory limit handling in one function and simplifying handling of antenna gain. It also removes unused transmit power scaling arrays from the EEPROM code, which belonged to an unimplemented API that isn't supposed to be in the driver anyway. Signed-off-by:

ath9k_hw_set_diversity is only called from init.c where it cannot affect the hardware setting because it's cleared on the next reset. Instead of using a PHY op for something that's supposed to be initialized statically, set the register value directly in the INI override function. Signed-off-by:

Instead of addressing corner cases like "ath9k: avoid enabling interrupts while processing rx", this approach handles it in generic manner. Signed-off-by:

The AR9330 1.0 and 1.1 are using the same revision, thus it is not possible to distinguish the two chips. The platform setup code can distinguish the chips based on the SoC revision.

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually). To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction" definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h". Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier. Hope people are OK with tiny include file. Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story. Signed-off-by:

While unloading the driver, the ps_usecount is incremented before configuring gpio registers in deinit_device. But it is failed to restore the ps_usecount after that. The problem is that the chip is forcibly moved to FULL SLEEP by radio_disable when mac80211 is reporting as idle though ps_usecount is not zero. This patch retores ps_usecount properly and ensures that the chip is always moved to full sleep only if ps usage count is zero which also helps in debugging deadbeef on multivif case. And also fixes the following warning. ath: DMA failed to stop in 10 ms AR_CR=0xdeadbeef AR_DIAG_SW=0xdeadbeef ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c:536 ath_stoprecv+0xf4/0x100 [ath9k]() Cc: stable@kernel.org Cc: Paul Stewart <pstew@google.com> Signed-off-by:

We do not kill any scheduled tasklets when stopping device, that may cause usage of resources after free. Moreover we enable interrupts in tasklet function, so we could potentially end with interrupts enabled when driver is not ready to receive them.

It looks like some hardware registers are left into undefined state after suspend/resume. At minimum, this can cause odd issues related to key cache and hardware trying to encrypt/decrypt frames unexpectedly. This seems to happen even when there is no keys configured, i.e., hardware can end up touching TX frames just based of invalid key cache context even if the driver is not asking a specific entry to be used. In addition, RX can likely be affected. This patch fixes this issue. Signed-off-by:
