There was a confusion in the usage of the bits AR5K_STA_ID1_ACKCTS_6MB and
AR5K_STA_ID1_BASE_RATE_11B. If they are set (1), we will get lower bitrates for
ACK and CTS. Therefore ath5k_hw_set_ack_bitrate_high(ah, false) actually
resulted in high bitrates, which i think is what we want anyways. Cleared the
confusion and added some documentation.

I/Q calibration was completely broken, resulting in a high number of CRC errors
on received packets. before i could see around 10% to 20% CRC errors, with this
patch they are between 0% and 3%.
1.) the removal of the mask in commit "ath5k: Fix I/Q calibration
(f1cf2dbd0f798b71b1590e7aca6647f2caef1649)" resulted in no mask beeing used
when writing the I/Q values into the register. additional errors in the
calculation of the values (see 2.) resulted too high numbers, exceeding the
masks, so wrong values like 0xfffffffe were written. to be safe we should
always use the bitmask when writing parts of a register.
2.) using a (s32) cast for q_coff is a wrong conversion to signed, since we
convert to a signed value later by substracting 128. this resulted in too low
numbers for Q many times, which were limited to -16 by the boundary check later
on.
3.) checked everything against the HAL sources and took over comments and minor
optimizations from there.
4.) we can't use ENABLE_BITS when we want to write a number (the number can
contain zeros). also always write the correction values first and set ENABLE
bit last, like the HAL does.

This is an Adaptive Noise Imunity (ANI) implementation for ath5k. I have looked
at both ath9k and HAL sources (they are nearly the same), and even though i
have implemented some things differently, the basic algorithm is practically
the same, for now. I hope that this can serve as a clean start to improve the
algorithm later.
This also adds a possibility to manually control ANI settings, right now only
thru a debugfs file:
* set lowest sensitivity (=highest noise immunity):
echo sens-low > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* set highest sensitivity (=lowest noise immunity):
echo sens-high > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* automatically control immunity (default):
echo ani-on > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
* to see the parameters in use and watch them change:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
Manually setting sensitivity will turn the automatic control off. You can also
control each of the five immunity parameters (noise immunity, spur immunity,
firstep, ofdm weak signal detection, cck weak signal detection) manually thru
the debugfs file.
This is tested on AR5414 and nearly doubles the thruput in a noisy 2GHz band.

Here are some minor updates for EEPROM, mostly documentation and some small
fixes which have no effect at the moment.
- fixed_bias is not available for B mode.
- AR5K_EEPROM_[RT]X_CHAIN_DIS is 3 bit. this is MIMO and will not be used in
ath5k, but just to be correct.
- AR5K_EEPROM_JAP_MID_EN added, and shift of following flags adapted.
- added some documentation for EEPROM values and some comments.

This updates ath5k to calibrate the noise floor similar to the
way it is done in the madwifi hal and ath9k. Of note:
- we start NF measurement at the same time as AGC calibration,
but do not actually read the value until the periodic (long)
calibration
- we keep a history of the last few values read and write the
median back to the hardware for CCA
- we do not complain if NF calibration isn't complete, instead
we keep the last read value.

Also make ath5k and ath9k use it, and share register definitions.

The new values are taken from the recently open sourced Atheros HAL.
Correctness is also confirmed by the users with access to Atheros
documentation.

* Add code to support the various antenna scenarios supported by hw
* For now hardcode the default scenario (single or dual omnis with
tx/rx diversity working and tx antenna handled by session -hw keeps
track on which antenna it got ack from each ap/station and maps each
ap/station to one of the antennas-).
