Rename CONFIG_DISABLE_LINK_TUNING to DRIVER_SUPPORT_LINK_TUNING
Link tuning support is not only based on EEPROM decisions, but
also if the device actually supports it.
Currently only rt2500usb doesn't support link tuning because
of hardware problems. But rt2800usb is also suspected of having
problems with link tuning.

The RSSI values in the RXWI descriptor aren't true RSSI
values. Instead they are more like the AGC values similar
to rt61pci. And as such, it needs the same conversion
before it can be passed to rt2x00lib/mac80211.
This requires the struct queue_entry to be passed to
rt2800_process_rxwi rather then the skb structure which
is contained in the queue_entry. This is required to
obtain the lna_gain information from the rt2x00_dev structure.
This fixes connection problems when using wpa_supplicant
which would try to connect to the worst AP's rather then the
best ones.

Legacy driver indicates that BBP1_TX_ANTENNA must be set
to 0 for TXPATH values of 1 and 3. So the previous statement
that nothing should be done for TXPATH = 3, is false.
Furthermore, remove the false BBP3_RX_ANTENNA initialization
when TXPATH is 1 for PCI and SOC devices. This field will always
be overridden in the next switch statement, making this initialization
bogus. History of this line indicates it was there from the beginning,
and was once caught as typo. Instead of replacing the line with the
correct line, the correct line was added...

IEEE80211_HT_CAP_RX_STBC is a 2 bit flag, and should thus
never be set as normal flag. Instead we must read the number
of RX paths from the EEPROM and set the IEEE80211_HT_CAP_RX_STBC
with the correct value (using the same logic as the number of TX
streams).

When an interface is removed the according beacon entry should be reset.
The current approach to only clear the first word is not enough to stop
the device from sending out the beacon, hence resulting in beacons being
sent out for already removed interfaces.
Fix this by invalidating the entire TXWI in front of the beacon instead
of only the first word.
Also clear all beacons during startup in the same way.

Since the link tuning is based on average RSSI values taken from all received
frames it doesn't make sense to enable it in AP mode where every associated
station provides independent RSSI values. Furthermore the legacy drivers
don't enable link tuning in AP mode as well.

For the Master mode case, we initialized the BSSID as the MAC
address, but never wrote it into the registers. This causes
Hardware crypto to break in Master mode when receiving frames
which require the BSSID to be filled in.
This is safe for STA mode since the BSSID will be initialized
to 00:00:00:00:00 at this point, but will be set to the correct
value later when the device associates.

Explicitly enable the usage of fallback rates for
the transmission of frames with rt61pci and rt73usb hardware.
Note that for txdone reporting, only rt61pci is capable of
reporting the fallback rates, for USB it is not possible
to determine the number of retries. However the device will
use the fallback rates, so it might still help in the performance.

In some corner cases the reported tx rates/retries didn't match the really
used ones.
The hardware lowers the tx rate on each consecutive retry by 1 (but won't
fall back from MCS to legacy rates) _until_ it reaches the lowest one.
In case the frame wasn't sent succesful the number of retries is 7 and if
a rate index <7 was used the previous code reported negative rate indexes
which were then ignored by the rate control algorithm and mac80211.
Instead, report the remaining number of retries to have happened with
the lowest rate (index 0). This should give the rate control algorithm
slightly more accurate information about the used tx rates/retries.

Set up max_rates and max_rate_tries with suitable values even if we do not
support the whole functionality.
As rt2800 has a global fallback table we cannot specify more then one tx rate
per frame but since the hw will try several different rates (based on the
fallback table) we should still initialize max_rates to the maximum number of
rates we are going to try. Otherwise mac80211 will truncate our reported tx
rates and the rc algortihm will end up with incorrect data choosing unsuitable
rates for tx.
This improves throughput on rt2800 devices considerable.

Currently rt2800pci will read TX_STA_FIFO until the previously read value
matches the current value. However, it is obvious that TX_STA_FIFO only
contains values that can easily be the same for multiple consecutive frames
(especially when communicating with only one other STA). Hence, we often
ended up with reading only the first entry and ignoring the rest.
One result was that when the TX_STA_FIFO contained multiple entires, only
the first one was read and properly handled while the others remained in the
tx queue.
Thus, drop this check but introduce a maximum number of reads. All legacy
drivers use the size of the tx ring as limit but state that the TX_STA_FIFO
has only 16 entries. So, let's just stick with the tx ring size for now.
