Currently, ath9k uses a global counter for all
frames that need to be assigned a sequence number.
QoS-data frames are handled properly since they
have a per-tid counter. But, beacons and other
management frames use the same counter even if
multiple interfaces or contexts are present.
Fix this issue by making the counter per-interface
and using it when mac80211 sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ.

When a channel context is removed, the hw_queue_base
is set to -1, this will result in a panic because
ath9k_chanctx_stop_queues() can be called on an interface
that is not assigned to any context yet - for example,
when trying to scan.
Fix this issue by setting the hw_queue_base to zero
when a channel context is removed.

When we are attempting to switch to a new

When a full chip reset is done, all the queues
across all VIFs are stopped, but if MCC is enabled,
only the queues of the current context is awakened,
when we complete the reset.
This results in unfairness for the inactive context.
Since frames are queued internally in the driver if
there is a context mismatch, we can awaken all the
queues when coming out of a reset.
The VIF-specific queues are still used in flow control,
to ensure fairness when traffic is high.

On AR934x and newer SoC devices, the layout of the AR_RTC_PLL_CONTROL
register changed. This currently breaks at least 5/10 MHz operation.
AR933x uses the old layout.
It might also have been causing other stability issues because of the
different location of the PLL_BYPASS bit which needs to be set during
PLL clock initialization.
This patch also removes more instances of hardcoded register values in

When multiple channel contexts are enabled, a p2p interface
that is assigned to a context will have an address that
is different from the device mac address, which is used
by wpa_s as the p2p device ID.
Certain frames like provision requests use the device address

iterates over only the active interfaces in a context and the
device address is not used.

The NoA duration for a GO is half the beacon interval
and a concurrent context like a STA can be active only
for that duration, before switching back to the GO's
operating channel.
Currently, when multiple beacons are missed, the dwell
time for the STA context is extended to improve the
chances of receiving a beacon. But the NoA is not updated
and this will cause problems since the GO is offline
for a period that is longer than the advertised duration.
Fix this by ensuring that the NoA is updated first before
extending the time slot for the STA context. Also make
sure that non-periodic NoA is used for a one-time, longer
absence period.
