b94177e10f ath9k: add stability fixes for long standing hang issues (FS#13, #34, #373, #383)
The radio would stop communicating completely. This issue was easiest to
trigger on AR913x devices, e.g. the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND, but other
hardware was occasionally affected as well.

The most critical issue was a race condition in disabling/enabling IRQs
between the IRQ handler and the IRQ processing tasklet

6b013019f9 Add back the commit "ath9k: Add airtime fairness scheduler"
This reverts commit c296ba834d.
According to several reports, the issues with the airtime fairness
changes are gone in current versions.
It's time to re-apply the patch now.

70afc0bdd1 kernel: mac80211: set the parent of the ath9k gpio_chip
This allows gpiolib to re-use ath9k's devicetree node as GPIO
controller.
Example:

ath9k: ath9k@0 {
	#gpio-cells = <2>;
	gpio-controller;
}

Now the ath9k node can be used just like any other GPIO controller:
	gpios = <&ath9k 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

7b7ea91e24 kernel: mac80211: enable the gpio controller for all ath9k devices
This enables ath9k's built-in GPIO controller for all chip versions
(instead of an explicit whitelist). This also allows us to get rid of
some duplicate code between hw.c and gpio.c because hw.c already
determines the number of GPIOs.

3ce71eaedd kernel: mac80211: fold the AR9280 GPIO patch into the ath9k GPIO patch
This folds 550-ath9k_add_ar9280_gpio_chip.patch into
548-ath9k_enable_gpio_chip.patch because the former patch only extends
code which is introduced in the latter.
