Shiji Yang 6bcd1c2501 mac80211: sync some rt2x00 patches with wireless-next
Some local patches have been sent to upstream and they are slightly
different from the upstream version. So it's better to replace them
to avoid conflicts with the new mac80211 backport driver. The
different parts have been merged into patch 996.

This commit also includes some additional fixes:
* Fix watchdog function.
* Improve MT7620 register initialization.
* Introduce DMA busy watchdog for rt2800.

P.S.
Sometimes rt2800 series chips may fall into a DMA busy state. The
tx queues become very slow and the client cannot connect to the AP.
Usually, We can see a lot of hostapd warnings at this point:
'hostapd: IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response'

The DMA busy watchdog can help the driver automatically recover
from this abnormal state. By the way, setting higer 'cell_density'
and disabling 'disassoc_low_ack' can significantly reduce the
probability of the DMA busy.

Subject: wifi: rt2x00: disable RTS threshold for rt2800 by default
rt2800 has a lot of registers to control the RTS enable/disable
status for different rates. And the driver control them via
rt2800_set_rts_threshold(). When RTS was disabled in user
interface, this function won't be called at all. This means that
the RTS is still 'on' for CCK and OFDM rates. So we'd better to
disable them by default because it should be like this. The RTS
for HT20 and HT40 is already default off so we don't need to
touch them. If we toggle the RTS status, these register bits
will be enable/disable again by rt2800_set_rts_threshold().
