For some reason firmware is sending invalid rates when we try to
query current bitrate from ath6kl_get_station() and a warning is issued:
[ 3810.415720] ath6kl: invalid rate: 1935633515
[ 3811.105493] ath6kl: invalid rate: 1935633515
[ 3811.556063] ath6kl: invalid rate: 1935633515
As the warning happens way too often, convert the warning to a debug
message once we have a proper fix. But to make it easy to follow
how often the problem appears, add a debugfs to print
various statistics about workarounds and make this issue the first WAR.

Commit 94e532d1a ("ath6kl: Fix system freeze under heavy data load")
aligns the skb data without checking if the skb is cloned. Because of
this ath6kl can corrupt the local TCP stack information that can result
in TCP retransmission failing and TCP connections stalling.
To avoid the corruption we need to copy the skb. Now the alignment
in ath6kl_htc_tx_buf_align() doesn't corrupt TCP packets anymore (and is
not even used for the cloned skb's that got copied since the alignment
of the data is handled at the copy time).

Driver does not report disconnect event properly when in connecting state,
this leads to issues failures in starting reconnection. Send a disconnect
command to target when a disconnect event is received with reason code
other than 3 (DISCONNECT_CMD - disconnect request from host) to make the

will be one more disconnect event for this disconnect command with reason
code DISCONNECT_CMD which will be notified to cfg80211.

When pinging form ar6003 to the AP RTT was high even when power save was
disabled:
100 packets transmitted, 97 received, 3% packet loss, time 99125ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.875/46.733/795.506/139.181 ms
After some investigation one reason for this was that received
multicast traffic confused the aggrecation logic and caused 400 ms
timeouts when receiving multicast frames from AP.
A simple way to fix is to pass only unicast frames for aggregation. This
improves RTT:
100 packets transmitted, 99 received, 1% packet loss, time 99144ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.083/13.084/403.390/56.794 ms

When the rssi of the current AP drops, both wpa_supplicant and the
firmware may do a background scan to find a better AP and try to
associate. This might lead to a race condition where both may try
to connect to some AP based on their scan results.
Since the firmware is capable of handling roaming, let
wpa_supplicant know about this capability so that it will back off
from bgscan based roaming.

Since we may end up using a dummy BSS entry when roaming, allow one Beacon
frame -based bssinfo from the current BSS to be processed prior to starting

There is no point in unconditionally converting the bssinfo header
to the old version since only the new header is being used and the
driver can as well read the values from it when needed. Leaving out
the conversion saves some extra memory copying.
In addition, use the calculated "rssi" value snr - 95 dBm to get the
proper value in cfg80211 BSS table (i.e., something that more or less
matches with the value used in STA info).

The internal node table in ath6kl was not really used for any useful
purpose. It was just used to collect scan results during a scan and then
provide them in a burst to cfg80211 at the completion of the scan. There
is no point in doing this since cfg80211 is perfectly capable of
maintaining the BSS table and the BSS inform messages are sent in
separate function calls anyway.
This provides more complete information in the cfg80211 BSS table since
this allows Beacon and Probe Response frames to be distinguished and IEs
from them reported separately.

This fixes the BSS "update" just before the connected or roamed event.
The previous implementation was completely broken: it forced a hardcoded
signal strength and IEs from Association _Request_ frame instead of any
Beacon information. This broke various things, including PMKSA caching.
The current workaround for creating a dummy BSS entry before the roamed
event is not exactly ideal, but that is quite a bit better than the
previous state. As a future improvement, cfg80211 could potentially be
extended to allow this type of use or ath6kl could delay sending the
roamed event before receiving a BSS info event.

Do the magnitude/phase coeff correction only if the outlier
is detected. Updating wrong magnitude/phase coeff factor
impacts not only tx gain setting but also leads to poor
performance in congested networks. In the clear environment
the impact is very minimal because the outlier happens
very rarely according to the past experiment. It occured
less than once every 1000 calibrations.
