The current ath9k tx queue handling code showed a few issues that could
lead to locking issues, tx stalls due to stopped queues, and maybe even
DMA issues.
The main source of these issues is that in some places the queue is
selected via skb queue mapping in places where this mapping may no
longer be valid. One such place is when data frames are transmitted via
the CAB queue (for powersave buffered frames). This is made even worse
by a lookup WMM AC values from the assigned tx queue (which is
undefined for the CAB queue).
This messed up the pending frame counting, which in turn caused issues
with queues getting stopped, but not woken again.
To fix these issues, this patch removes an unnecessary abstraction
separating a driver internal queue number from the skb queue number
(not to be confused with the hardware queue number).
It seems that this abstraction may have been necessary because of tx
queue preinitialization from the initvals. This patch avoids breakage
here by pushing the software <-> hardware queue mapping to the function
that assigns the tx queues and redefining the WMM AC definitions to
match the numbers used by mac80211 (also affects ath9k_htc).
To ensure consistency wrt. pending frame count tracking, these counters
are moved to the ath_txq struct, updated with the txq lock held, but
only where the tx queue selected by the skb queue map actually matches
the tx queue used by the driver for the frame.

Current 8187B initialization misses anaparam registers restore after
8187 reset. This causes ANAPARAM register to stay zeroed out (ANAPARAM2
kept its value on my tests). To avoid this, call rtl8187_set_anaparam
right after chip reset (to be on the safe side, as it makes sure we
restore all ANAPARAM registers).

The wl1271_rx function loops through packets in an aggregated buffer. Each
packet in the buffer is handled by a call to wl1271_rx_handle_data, which will
fail if skb memory allocation fails or production mode is enabled. These
failures currently prevent the rx counters to be incremented, thus causing the
rx loop to run forever.
Fix this by ignoring error codes reported wl1271_rx_handle_data function.
This essentially means that frames will be dropped in production mode, which
is the intetion, and frames will be dropped if memory allocation fails, which
is a decent way to recover from that situation.

The number of entries in the TX queue is compared to the low watermark
value each time TX completion interrupts are handled.
However, the fact that a TX completion arrived does not necessarily mean
there are any less skbs in the TX queue.
In addition, a TX completion interrupt does not necessarily mean that there
are any new available TX blocks. Thus, queuing TX work when the low
watermark is reached might not be needed.
Fix this by moving the low watermark handling to the TX work function,
and avoid queuing TX work in this case.
