Current implementation of RT6352 support provides too high tx power
at least on iPA/eLNA devices. Reduce amplification of variable gain
amplifier by 6dB to match board target power of 17dBm.
Transmited signal strength with this patch is similar to that of
stock firmware or pandorabox firmware. Throughput measured with iperf
improves. Device tested: Xiaomi Miwifi Mini.

This patch adds several country codes to the regd.h and regd_common.h
files in order to support devices whose country codes are not present in
the original list.
Without this patch, all devices whose manufacturer programmed any of these
code in their EEPROM will run without wireless interfaces.

Initially this patch was introduced as a quick fix following
the removal of 936-ath10k_skip_otp_check.patch which caused
multiple ath10k pcie devices in various ipq806x and ar71xx/ath79
targets to malfunction.
Thankfully, the affected devices have been updated to utilize
the pre-caldata method. And finally with the switch to ath10k-ct,
which never had the patch or any reports of similar issues, I
think it's time to remove this patch since it is no longer needed.

Based on the process of discovery in
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1613, it has become clear
that (at least) the PowerCloud System CR5000 was unable to get
working 5GHz wireless (PCIe) because AH_USE_EEPROM was unconditionally
masked out, not only when qca,noeeprom was in the DTS.
This patch moves mask AH_USE_EEPROM into the if ... qca,noeeprom
OF test.
Thanks to Christian Lampartar (@chunkeey) for the heavy lifting and help.
Patch has been prepared for upstream and will be submitted after review
by @chunkeey and @xdarklight.

This partitialy reverts commit ccab68f2d3.
Registering the GPIO chip without a parent device completely breaks the
ath9k GPIOs for device tree targets.
As long as boards using the devicetree don't have the gpio-controller
property set for the ath9k node, the unloading of the driver works as
expected.
Register the GPIO chip with the ath9k device as parent only for OF
targets to find a trade-off between the needs of driver developers and
the broken LEDs and buttons seen by users.

Currently, dynack was only tested upstream using AP/STA mode.
Testing it on IBSS, showed that late-ack detection was broken.
This is caused due to dynack using Association Request/Response
frames for late-ack detection, which IBSS does not use.
Also allowing Authentication frames here solves this.
A second issue also got fixed, which was also seen AP/STA mode:
When a station was added, the estimated value would be exponentially averaged
using 0 as a starting point.
This means that on larger distances, the ack timeout was still not high
enough before synchronizing would run out of late-ack's for estimation.
Fix this by using the initial estimated value as a baseline
and only start averaging in the following estimation rounds.
Test setup:
- 2x identical devices: RB912UAG-5HPnD + 19dB sector
- IBSS
- 2x2 802.11an (ar9340), HT20, long GI
- RSSI's -70 / -71
- Real distance: 23910 meter
Results (60s iperf runs):
Fixed coverage class 54 (up to 24300m):
* 21.5 Mbits/sec
Dynack:
* 28.9 Mbits/sec

Registering a GPIO chip with the ath9k device as parent prevents unload,
because the gpiochip core increases the module use count.
Unfortunately, the only way to avoid this at the moment seems to be to

Tri-band devices (1x 2.4GHz + 2x 5GHz) often incorporate special filters in
the RX and TX path. These filtered channel can in theory still be used by
the hardware but the signal strength is reduced so much that it makes no
sense.
There is already a DT property to limit the available channels but ath10k
has to manually call this functionality to limit the currrently set wiphy
channels further.

Most of the implementations behind cfg80211_get_station will not initialize
sinfo to zero before manipulating it. For example, the member "filled",
which indicates the filled in parts of this struct, is often only modified
by enabling certain bits in the bitfield while keeping the remaining bits
in their original state. A caller without a preinitialized sinfo.filled can
then no longer decide which parts of sinfo were filled in by
cfg80211_get_station (or actually the underlying implementations).
cfg80211_get_station must therefore take care that sinfo is initialized to
zero. Otherwise, the caller may tries to read information which was not
filled in and which must therefore also be considered uninitialized. In
batadv_v_elp_get_throughput's case, an invalid "random" expected throughput
may be stored for this neighbor and thus the B.A.T.M.A.N V algorithm may
switch to non-optimal neighbors for certain destinations.
