[PATCH 00/29] ath: virtual wiphy updates / add ath9k_common

The first set of patches are the virtual wiphy updates which I had
sent out as RFTs, I've not tested them. The others are changes to
ath9k to add a new module ath9k_common to be shared between ath9k
and ath9k_htc. For now it only has some common RX helpers but will
grow as I see more and more being shared.

I've tested these changes with ath5k, ath9k and ar9170 on the ath9k_htc
driver. ath9k_htc now scans with this common shared code.

If you'd like the all in one patch you can grab it from here:

The ath9k_htc git tree has a branch called rx-rework which you can check
out and use if you apply the patch above. Next on the agenda will be to add
some initial TX support to ath9k_htc. More common stuff will be moved
into ath9k_common as we move along.

Luis R. Rodriguez (29):
  ath9k: fix listening to idle requests
  ath9k: update hw configuration for virtual wiphys
  ath9k: simpify RX by calling ath_get_virt_hw() once
  ath9k: use the passed ieee80211_hw on ath_rx_prepare()
  ath9k: pass the ieee80211_hw on radio enable/disable
  ath9k: use correct hw for tx aggregation TX completion
  ath9k: use the right hw on ath_tx_setup_buffer() for HT
  ath9k: handle low buffer space for virtual wiphys
  ath9k: do not pass the entire descriptor to ath_rx_prepare()
  ath9k_hw: move ath_extend_tsf() to hw code to share as
    ath9k_hw_extend_tsf()
  ath9k: move struct ath_ani to common area
  ath9k: use the ieee80211_hw to get to an sband on ath_rx_prepare()
  ath9k: move RX check code into helper ath9k_rx_accept()
  ath9k: remove temp variable ratecode from ath_rx_prepare()
  ath9k: move rate descriptor reading into a helper
  ath9k: move qual processing into a helper
  ath9k: move rssi processing into a helper
  ath9k: avoid the copy skb->cb on every RX'd skb
  ath9k: move the rx_stats->rs_datalen check to ath9k_rx_accept()
  ath: move the rx bufsize to common to share with ath5k/ath9k
  ath5k: remove double cache alignment, ath_rxbuf_alloc() already does
    it
  ath9k: move the max rx buffer size check to ath9k_rx_accept()
  ath9k: rename ath_rx_prepare() to ath9k_rx_skb_preprocess()
  ath9k: move driver keymap, keymax and splitmic to common
  ath5k: use the common->keymap
  ath9k: move RX skb post processing to a helper
  ath9k_common: add new module to share 802.11n driver helpers
  ath9k_common: remove ath9k_compute_qual()
  ath9k_common: clarify and correct jumbogram processing
