Subject: [PATCH 4/4] ath9k: fix retry counting / BAR handling during queue flush

When tx is suspended temporarily and the queue is flushed, do not increase
the retry count or attempt to send out BAR frames. Instead simply retry
the affected subframes normally after the reset.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ath9k: improve PS filter clearing and retry counting for A-MPDU

Do not increment the retry counter if packets to a sleeping station
were not sent because of tx failure, instead of only checking the filter
flag.
Clear the PS filter only after an A-MPDU was reported as filtered,
otherwise the hardware might do some unnecessary extra retransmissions.
