ath5k: Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI) Implementation

This is an Adaptive Noise Imunity (ANI) implementation for ath5k. I have looked
at both ath9k and HAL sources (they are nearly the same), and even though i
have implemented some things differently, the basic algorithm is practically
the same, for now. I hope that this can serve as a clean start to improve the
algorithm later.

This also adds a possibility to manually control ANI settings, right now only
thru a debugfs file:
  * set lowest sensitivity (=highest noise immunity):
	echo sens-low > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
  * set highest sensitivity (=lowest noise immunity):
	echo sens-high > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
  * automatically control immunity (default):
	echo ani-on > /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani
  * to see the parameters in use and watch them change:
	cat /sys/kernel/debug/ath5k/phy0/ani

Manually setting sensitivity will turn the automatic control off. You can also
control each of the five immunity parameters (noise immunity, spur immunity,
firstep, ofdm weak signal detection, cck weak signal detection) manually thru
the debugfs file.

This is tested on AR5414 and nearly doubles the thruput in a noisy 2GHz band.

+/**
+ * DOC: Basic ANI Operation
+ *
+ * Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI) controls five noise immunity parameters
+ * depending on the amount of interference in the environment, increasing
+ * or reducing sensitivity as necessary.
+ *
+ * The parameters are:
+ *   - "noise immunity"
+ *   - "spur immunity"
+ *   - "firstep level"
+ *   - "OFDM weak signal detection"
+ *   - "CCK weak signal detection"
+ *
+ * Basically we look at the amount of ODFM and CCK timing errors we get and then
+ * raise or lower immunity accordingly by setting one or more of these
+ * parameters.
+ * Newer chipsets have PHY error counters in hardware which will generate a MIB
+ * interrupt when they overflow. Older hardware has too enable PHY error frames
+ * by setting a RX flag and then count every single PHY error. When a specified
+ * threshold of errors has been reached we will raise immunity.
+ * Also we regularly check the amount of errors and lower or raise immunity as
+ * necessary.
