[ath_hal] Add get/set NAV functions

The NAV (network allocation vector) register reflects the current MAC
tracking of NAV - when it will stay quiet before transmitting.

Other devices transmit their frame durations in their 802.11 PHY headers
and all devices that hear a frame - even if it's one in an encoding
they don't understand - will understand the low bitrate PHY header that
includes the frame duration. So, they'll set NAV to this value so
they'll stay quiet until the transmit completes.

Anyway, sometimes the PHY NAV header is garbled and sometimes, notably
older broadcom devices, will fake a long NAV so they can get "cleaner" air
for local calibration. When this happens, the hardware will stay quiet
for quite some time and this can lead to missed/stuck beacons, or
(for Very Large Values) a MAC hang.

This code just adds the ability to get/set the NAV; the driver will
need to take care of using it during transmit hangs and beacon misses
to see if it's due to a trash looking NAV.

[ath] [ath_hal] [ath_hal_9300] Extend the start PCU receive to handle resetting ANI.

One of the fun issues with scanning has been how the existing
ANI values were programmed into the hardware when channels were
changed. If you're on a really crappy channel and ANI has made
you deaf then when you scan you continue to be deaf on all channels.

This code passes in a flag to startpcureceive which in AR5416 and later
is also used to enable ANI. This allows it to know if it's a normal
operation or a scan operation.

This fixes my situation at home where a temporary spot of a device
going deaf due to interference starts scanning and .. can't hear
anything until I restart.

Now, this isn't the full fix - ideally:

(a) all the ANI config and per-channel information would be migrated
to the shared HAL stuff and enabled for all of the NICs;
(b) when a station reassociates and some other error conditions
(like missed beacons, NF calibration failures, etc) a knob
to reset ANI parameters would likely help recovery.

But hey, I'm committing bits of code again! woo!

Tested:

* AR9344 (2G), STA operation

ath(4): begin fleshing out a "reset type" extension to force cold/warn resets.

Right now the only way to force a cold reset is:

* The HAL itself detects it's needed, or
* The sysctl, setting all resets to be cold.

Trouble is, cold resets take quite a bit longer than warm resets.

However, there are situations where a cold reset would be nice.
Specifically, after a stuck beacon, BB/MAC hang, stuck calibration results,
etc.

The vendor HAL has a separate method to set the reset reason (which is
how HAL_RESET_BBPANIC gets set) which informs the HAL during the reset path
why it occured. This is almost but not quite the same; I may eventually
unify both approaches in the future.

This commit just extends HAL_RESET_TYPE to include both status (eg BBPANIC)
and type (eg do COLD.) None of the HAL code uses it yet though; that'll
come later.

It also is a big no-op in each HAL - I need to go teach each of the HALs
about cold/warm reset through this path.

Migrate the chip power mode status to public ath_hal, rather than the
private per-chip HAL.

This allows the ah_osdep.[ch] code to check whether the power state is
valid for doing chip programming.

Migrate the chip power mode status to public ath_hal, rather than the
private per-chip HAL.

This allows the ah_osdep.[ch] code to check whether the power state is
valid for doing chip programming.

It should be a no-op for normal driver work but it does require a
clean kernel/module rebuild, as the size of HAL structures have changed.

Now, this doesn't track whether the hardware is ACTUALLY awake,
as NETWORK_SLEEP wakes the chip up for a short period when traffic
is received. This doesn't actually set the power mode to AWAKE, so
we have to be careful about how we touch things.

But it's enough to start down the path of implementing station mode
chipset power savings, as a large part of the silliness is making
sure the chip is awake during periodic calibration / ANI and
random places where transmit may be occuring. I'd rather not a repeat
of debugging power save on ath9k, where races with calibration
and transmit path stuff took a couple years to shake out.

Tested:

* AR5416, STA mode

Begin adding support to explicitly set the current chainmask.

Right now the only way to set the chainmask is to set the hardware
configured chainmask through capabilities. This is fine for forcing
the chainmask to be something other than what the hardware is capable
of (eg to reduce TX/RX to one connected antenna) but it does change what
the HAL hardware chainmask configuration is.

For operational mode changes, it (may?) make sense to separately control
the TX/RX chainmask.

Right now it's done as part of ar5416_reset.c - ar5416UpdateChainMasks()
calculates which TX/RX chainmasks to enable based on the operating mode.
(1 for legacy and whatever is supported for 11n operation.) But doing
this in the HAL is suboptimal - the driver needs to know the currently
configured chainmask in order to correctly enable things for each
TX descriptor. This is currently done by overriding the chainmask
config in the ar5416 TX routines but this has to disappear - the AR9300
HAL support requires the driver to dynamically set the TX chainmask based
on the TX power and TX rate in order to meet mini-PCIe slot power
requirements.

So:

* Introduce a new HAL method to set the operational chainmask variables;
* Introduce null methods for the previous generation chipsets;
* Add new driver state to record the current chainmask separate from
the hardware configured chainmask.

Part #2 of this will involve disabling ar5416UpdateChainMasks() and moving
it into the driver; as well as properly programming the TX chainmask
based on the currently configured HAL chainmask.

Tested:

* AR5416, STA mode - both legacy (11a/11bg) and 11n rates - verified
that AR_SELFGEN_MASK (the chainmask used for self-generated frames like
ACKs and RTSes) is correct, as well as the TX descriptor contents is
correct.
