On older chips, the INI value differ in similar ways as cycpwr_thr1, so
convert it to absolute values as well.
Since the ANI algorithm is different here compared to the old
implementation (fewer steps, controlled at a different point in time),
it makes sense to use values similar to what would be applied for newer
chips, just without relying on INI defaults.

The table was copied from the ANI implementation of AR9300. It assumes
that the INI values contain a baseline value that is usable as reference
from which to increase/decrease based on the noise immunity value.
On older chips, the differences are bigger and especially AR5008/AR9001
are configured to much more sensitive values than what is useful.
Improve ANI behavior by reverting to the absolute values used in the
previous implementation (expressed as a simple formula instead of the
old table).

The primary purpose of this piece of code was to selectively disable
OFDM weak signal detection. The checks for this are elsewhere, and an
earlier commit relaxed the restrictions for older chips, which are more
sensitive to interference.

qi->tqi_readyTime is written directly to registers that expect
microseconds as unit instead of TU.
When setting the CABQ ready time, cur_conf->beacon_interval is in TU, so
convert it to microseconds before passing it to ath9k_hw.
This should hopefully fix some Tx DMA issues with buffered multicast
frames in AP mode.

Since commit 558ff225de80ac95b132d3a115ddadcd64498b4f (ath9k: fix
ps-poll responses under a-mpdu sessions) non-data frames would have
gotten a sequence number from a TIDs sequence counter instead of
using the global sequence counter.
This can lead to instable connections.
To fix this only select the correct TID if we are processing a
data frame. Furthermore, prevent non-data frames to get a sequence
number from a TID sequence counter by adding a check to
ath_tx_setup_buffer.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Jason's analysis:
"The GCC 4.8.1 compiler will not do the for-loop till scat_entries, instead,
it only run one round loop. This may be caused by that the GCC 4.8.1 thought
that the scat_list only have one item and then no need to do full iteration,
but this is simply wrong by looking at the assebly code. This will cause the sg
buffer not get set when scat_entries > 1 and thus lead to kernel panic.
Note: This issue not observed with GCC 4.7.2, only found on the GCC 4.8.1)"
Fix this by using the normal [0] style for defining unknown number of list
entries following the struct. This also fixes corruption with scat_q_depth, which
was mistankely added to the end of struct and overwritten if there were more
than item in the scat list.

Older chipsets are more sensitive to high PHY error counts, and the
current noise immunity thresholds were based on tests run at QCA with
newer chipsets.
This patch brings back the values from the old ANI implementation for
old chipsets, and it also disables weak signal detection on an earlier
noise immunity level, to improve overall radio stability on affected
devices.

The commit 80b4205b "ath9k: Fix OFDM weak signal detection for AP mode"
prevented weak signal detection changes from taking effect in AP mode on
all chipsets, claiming it is "not allowed".
The main reason for not disabling weak signal detection in AP mode is
that typically beacon RSSI is used to track whether it is needed to
boost range, and this is unavailable in AP mode for obvious reasons.
The problem with not disabling weak signal detection is that older
chipsets are very sensitive to high PHY error counts. When faced with
heavy noise, this can lead to an excessive amount of "Failed to stop
TX DMA" errors in the field.
