2b87f3aac0 ath9k/debug: improve the snprintf() handling
The snprintf() function returns the number of bytes that *would* have
been written (not counting the NULL terminator) and that can potentally
be more than the size of the buffer.

In this patch if there were one liners where string clearly fits into
the buffer, then I changed snprintf to sprintf().  It's confusing to use
the return value of snprintf() as a limitter without verifying that it's
smaller than size.  This is what initially caught my attention here.
If we use the return value of sprintf() instead future code auditors will
assume we've verified that it fits already.

Also I did find some places where it made sense to use the return value
after we've verified that it is smaller than the buffer size.

Finally the read_file_rcstat() function added an explicit NULL terminator
before calling snprintf().  That's unnecessary because snprintf() will
add the null terminator automatically.

08578b8f16 ath9k: enable the baseband watchdog events for AR9003
This enables the baseband watchdog events for the AR9003
family on ath9k. Upon an a baseband watchdog interrupt we reset
the hardware, this should address corner case conditions where
normal operation can stall. Enable ATH_DBG_RESET to be able
to review details of the bb watchdog interrupt once it happens.
If you're curious how often this happens just grep the debugfs
interrupt file.

7c9fd60f97 ath9k: Fix bug in the way "bf_tx_aborted" of struct ath_buf is used
This bug was introduced by the following commit

	Author: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <vasanth@atheros.com>
	Date:   Thu Apr 15 17:38:46 2010 -0400

	ath9k: Remove ATH9K_TX_SW_ABORTED and introduce a bool for this purpose

Wrong buffer is checked for bf_tx_aborted field in ath_tx_num_badfrms(),
this may result in a rate scaling with wrong feedback (number
of unacked frames in this case). It is the last one in the chain
of buffers for an aggregate frame that should be checked.

Also it misses the initialization of this field in the buffer,
this may lead to a situation where we stop the sw retransmission
of failed subframes associated to this buffer.

ab1d864431 ath9k: remove AR9003 from PCI IDs for now
We tried to squeeze as much AR9003 support into this kernel
release cycle but there are a few features which are still
being tested and developed. Some of these features are critical
to the stable operation of AR9003 so for now disable AR9003 support
all together. This will get re-enabled once all necessary features
are in place but very likely will not happen for 2.6.35.

a4b770972b drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s
This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

with some cleanups by hand.

6f256de70b ath9k_common: drop incomming frames with an invalid hardware rate
ath9k_common (used by ath9k and ath9k_htc) trusts the frames
blessed by hardware as OK are infact correct even if the rate
seen by the driver is unrecognized. ath9k_common just treats
these frames in mac80211 as frames as frames under 1 mbps rate.
It seems this might not be the best thing to do as other parts of
the frame might not be valid so just drop these frames for now.

8e15599499 ath9k_common: move the rate status setting into ath9k_process_rate()
This has no real functional change, this just moves the setting the
the mac80211 rate index into ath9k_process_rate(). This allows us
to eventually make ath9k_process_rate() return a negative value
in case we have detected a specific case rate situation which should
have been ignored.

9c6dda4e2d ath9k_htc: Fix beaconing in IBSS mode
The current way of managing beaconing in ad-hoc
mode has a subtle race - the beacon obtained from mac80211
is freed in the SWBA handler rather than the TX
completion routine. But transmission of beacons goes
through the normal SKB queue maintained in hif_usb,
leading to a situation where __skb_dequeue() in the TX
completion handler goes kaput.

Fix this by simply getting a beacon from mac80211 for
every SWBA and free it in its completion routine.

3ef83d745b ath9k: fix another source of corrupt frames
Atheros hardware supports receiving frames that span multiple
descriptors and buffers. In this case, the rx status of every
descriptor except for the last one is invalid and may contain random
data. Because the driver does not support this, it needs to drop such
frames.
