[PATCH 0/9] ath9k: Add Antenna diversity support for AR9485

[Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan]

From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mshajakhan@atheros.com>

*This patch set adds Antenna diversity support for AR9485, previously
 antenna diversity is only supported in AR9285
*The basic antenna diversity algorithm remains the same
*slight change in the diversity field in eeprom
*introduction of main/alt gain table and lna1_lna2 delta fields
*initially set LNA1 for main antenna
*introduction of diversity group
*based on diversity group, fast diversity bias parmaters and
lna1_lna2_delta varies
*implement an API to take the decision of swapping main/ALT LNA's
for AR9485
*configure fast diversity bias based on diversity group

Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan (9):
  ath9k_hw: make antenna diversity modules chip specific
  ath9k_hw: enable Antenna diversity for AR9485
  ath9k_hw: define registers/macros to support Antenna diversity
  ath9k_hw: config diversity based on eeprom contents
  ath9k_hw: define modules to get/set Antenna diversity paramaters
  ath9k_hw: define antenna diversity group
  ath9k: Implement an API to swap main/ALT LNA's
  ath9k: configure fast_div_bias based on diversity group
  ath9k: make sure main_rssi is positive

hi all,
	mostly this will never happen. in case you get a card with antenna 
diversity not enabled in your eeprom settings, please try to do this 
manually in the driver by the following way. even this itself is 
sufficient to boost the Rx(may be Tx) throughput tremendously when you 
use a single antenna in the Tx/Rx chain!
thanks to Kent Chaung.
