Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ath9k: remove ath9k_sta_remove_debugfs

mac80211 uses debugfs_remove_recursive, so there's no need for the
driver to do an explicit cleanup of its sta debugfs entry.

Subject: [PATCH 5/5] ath9k: reset buffer stale flag in ath_tx_get_tid_subframe

If that flag stays set for a buffer that already ran through the tx path
once, it might cause issues in tx completion processing. Better clear it
early to ensure that this does not happen

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] ath9k: simplify ath_tid_drain

ath_tid_drain is only called when a station entry is being removed, so
there is no point in still tracking BAW state. Remove some unnecessary
code and a bogus TODO comment related to this.

This is done in ath9k_hw_set_cck_nil(). All the 1-chain devices are handled
except AR9330. Maybe the chainmask check can be moved there ?

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] ath9k: simplify debugfs chainmask handling

Writing to that file is unnecessary and quirky, the antenna API should
be used instead. Use debugfs_create_u8 to allow reading the values.
