Revert a hunk in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c introduced by
commit 2577c6e8f232 ("ath9k_hw: Add support for AR946/8x chipsets") that
caused a nasty regression to appear on my Acer Ferrari One (the box
locks up entirely at random times after the wireless has been started
without any way to get debug information out of it).

This happens with devices using a regulatory domain 0x68 that are only 5Ghz capable because ath_reg_apply_active_scan_flags assumes that we always have a 2,4Ghz band.

During the fast channel change noise floor values are being loaded twice at init_cal and after channel_change. The commit "ath9k_hw: Improve fast channel change for AR9003 chips" overlooked it that caused failure to load nf while doing bgscan. This patch performs noise floor calibration after the fast and full reset. Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanohar@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Previously the driver did not care if TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS was set on aggregated frames or not and it would silently drop successfully sent frames if possible [much like: "no news is good news!"]. But, TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS was invented for a reason and no tx status report should ever be dropped if it is set.
