[PATCH 1/2] ath6kl: Update netstats for some of the tx failrues in ath6kl_data_tx()

[Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan]

There are few cases where the tx skb is dropped but netstats is
not updated, fix this.

[PATCH 2/2] ath6kl: Complete failed tx packet in ath6kl_htc_tx_from_queue()

[Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan]

Return status of ath6kl_htc_tx_issue() is ignored in
ath6kl_htc_tx_from_queue(), but failed tx packet is
is not cleaned up. To fix memory leak in this case, call
completion with error. Also, throw an error debug message
when tx fails in ath6kl_sdio_write_async() due to shortage
in bus request buffer.

I'm not sure about this one. There's a risk that this will spam the log.
Should it be a debug message instead? Or should we have instead
ath6kl_err_ratelimit()?

This condition is very rare, I found it only through code review. I'm 
pretty sure we don't hit this very often.

I'm not worried how often it happens, I'm just worried that _when_ it
happens the warning might make things worse. For example, I personally
saw a case where flood of warnings prevented watchdog heartbeat from
happening which caused the whole system to reboot. Without the warnings
system would have worked just fine, just a bit more slowly.

Is it ok for you if I change the ath6kl_err() to WARN_ON_ONCE() (or
WARN_ONCE() if you prefer to keep the warning message)? This should be a
rare event anyway.

[PATCH] ath6kl: Fix missing gpio pin 9 configuration

[Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan]

GPIO pin 9 also needs to be configured along with other gpio
pins to avoid sdio crc errors. I've not experienced any issue
with missing this particular gpio pin configuration, found dunring
code review. This can potentially improve rx performance.
