It is not necessary to hold the firmware memory during the whole
driver lifetime, and obviously it does waste memory. Suppose there
are 4 ath9k-htc usb dongles working, kernel has to consume about
4*50KBytes RAM to cache firmware for all dongles. After applying the
patch, kernel only caches one single firmware image in RAM for
all ath9k-htc devices just during system suspend/resume cycle.
When system is ready for loading firmware, ath9k-htc can request
the loading from usersapce. During system resume, ath9k-htc still
can load the firmware which was cached in kernel memory before
system suspend.

This feature had been disabled in ath9k because the code to support
it was incomplete, but now the code is in sync with the internal QCA
codebase, so it's time to enable it.
On many newer devices, the calibration is assumed to be done with PA
linearization enabled.
Tests with a particular AR933x device showed that the signal emitted
at full power was highly distorted and unreliable with PA linearization
disabled. With this patch, the signal becomes clear and stability
is improved.

Before PAPRD training can run, the card needs to have sent a packet for
thermal calibration. Sending a dummy packet with the PAPRD training flag
set causes a crash under some circumstance.
Fix the code by replacing the dummy tx with a delay that waits for a
real packet tx to have occurred.

ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess() and ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess()
in a loop over the received frames. The decrypt_error flag is
initialized to false
just outside ath_rx_tasklet() loop. ath9k_rx_accept(), called by
ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess(),
only sets decrypt_error to true and never to false.
Then ath_rx_tasklet() calls ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess() and passes
decrypt_error to it.
So, after a decryption error, in ath9k_rx_skb_postprocess(), we can
have a leftover value
from another processed frame. In that case, the frame will not be marked with
RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED even if it is decrypted correctly.
When using CCMP encryption this issue can lead to connection stuck
because of CCMP
PN corruption and a waste of CPU time since mac80211 tries to decrypt an already
deciphered frame with ieee80211_aes_ccm_decrypt.
Fix the issue initializing decrypt_error flag at the begging of the
ath_rx_tasklet() loop.

commit b74713d04e
"ath9k: Handle fatal interrupts properly" introduced a race condition, where
IRQs are being left enabled, however the irq handler returns IRQ_HANDLED
while the reset is still queued without addressing the IRQ cause.
This leads to an IRQ storm that prevents the system from even getting to
the reset code.
Fix this by disabling IRQs in the handler without touching intr_ref_cnt.

AR1111 is same as AR9485. The h/w
difference between them is quite insignificant,
Felix suggests only very few baseband features
may not be available in AR1111. The h/w code for
AR9485 is already present, so AR1111 should
work fine with the addition of its PID/VID.
