ath.git patches for 4.9. Major changes: ath9k * disable RNG by default
When building with W=1, we got one warning as belows: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/wmi.c:3509:6: warning: variable ‘ret’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] At the end of ath6kl_wmi_set_pvb_cmd, it is returned by 0 regardless of return value of ath6kl_wmi_cmd_send. This patch fixes return value from 0 to ret that has result of ath6kl_wmi_cmd_send execution. Signed-off-by: Chaehyun Lim <chaehyun.lim@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>
ath9k RNG will dominates all the noise sources from the real HW RNG, disable it by default. But we strongly recommand to enable it if the system without HW RNG, especially on embedded systems.

Firmware is running watchdog timer for tracking copy engine ring index and write index. Whenever both indices are stuck at same location for given duration, watchdog will be trigger to assert target. While updating copy engine destination ring write index, driver ensures that write index will not be same as read index by finding delta between these two indices (CE_RING_DELTA). HTT target to host copy engine (CE5) is special case where ring buffers will be reused and delta check is not applied while updating write index. In rare scenario, whenever CE5 ring is full, both indices will be referring same location and this is causing CE ring stuck issue as explained above. This issue is originally reported on IPQ4019 during long hour stress testing and during veriwave max clients testsuites. The same issue is also observed in other chips as well. Fix this by ensuring that write index is one less than read index which means that full ring is available for receiving data.

Ignore processing further in SWBA event scheduled for a vif, if mac80211 has marked the particular vif for stop beaconing and brought the vdev down in 'ath10k_control_beaconing'.
