Subject: [PATCH 3.1] ath9k_hw: fix calibration on 5 ghz

ADC calibrations cannot run on 5 GHz with fast clock enabled. They
need to be disabled, otherwise they'll hang and IQ mismatch calibration
will not be run either.

Hi, I reported this same problem on february, I was using Ubiquiti SR71-15
cards. I've been running them with the same "fix" that Felix has proposed. If
you need a tester for another solution just let me know.

Regards,
Jorge

Got confirmation that this is indeed the correct fix.
John, please merge this patch

FreeBSD does this. nbd disabled the EEPROM check a while ago in ath9k.
So it isn't this.

Can we please hold off of this until we know if this is indeed the correct fix?

Ie, I'm not sure yet whether 5ghz fast clock (which clocks the mac/bb
like it was doing 2.4ghz) needs the dual ADCs enabled or not.
It may be that something is being incorrectly disabled when the
fastclock initvals are being written over the normal 5ghz values.

Thanks,


Adrian

Hi Jorge,

Could you please test whether the below patch helps?
