The cycpwr_thr1 value needs to be lower on the extension channel than on
the control channel, similar to how the register settings are programmed
in the initvals.
Also drop the unnecessary check for HT40 - this register can always be
written. This patch has been reported to improve HT40 stability and
throughput in some environments.

On AR934x and newer SoC devices, the layout of the AR_RTC_PLL_CONTROL
register changed. This currently breaks at least 5/10 MHz operation.
AR933x uses the old layout.
It might also have been causing other stability issues because of the
different location of the PLL_BYPASS bit which needs to be set during
PLL clock initialization.
This patch also removes more instances of hardcoded register values in
favor of properly computed ones with the PLL_BYPASS bit added.

Wasn't the original patch for improving stability ? Won't reverting it
reintroduce the earlier situation ?
If ANI issues/regressions for pre-AR9003 chips are still arising,
I wonder what we have gained by the switch and if the new algorithm
is a good fit for the older chips.
At least for SoC chips, people will report it to OpenWrt. For PC-OEM
cards, users will just say that the card sucks and move on...

The issues that were slightly improved by this patch were fixed in a
different way later. This change has been tested in OpenWrt for 3 weeks now.

After switching to the new algorithm, a large number of users reported a
very significant increase in stability. Back then, overall stability of
ath9k was a lot worse than it is now, and a much larger number of users
were having trouble with it.
Additionally, the new algorithm is much easier to understand and tune -
the old code (especially the one with both algorithms combined) was an
incomprehensible mess of spaghetti code. I still believe the new
algorithm is better for pre-AR9003 than the old one, just the callback
that applies the settings needs a bit more fine tuning.
The ANI issues that I'm finding these days affect a *much* smaller
number of users, and are less severe than what we've been dealing with
during the time of the switch.

For pre-AR9003, most devices used with OpenWrt actually use exactly the
same chips as PC-OEM cards.

Yes, that is true. We split the SoC/PC-OEM chip lines in AR9003.
Sorry for the noise. ;)
