2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd(a)openwrt.org>

commit f860d526eb2939a1c37128900b5af2b6f3ff7f20 upstream.

When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of
the 913x specific cold reset. As with some AR9280 cards, the TSF needs
to be preserved in software here.

Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful
TSF write directly after the chip reset. In this case, repeating the
TSF write after the initval-writes usually works.

This patch detects failed TSF writes and recovers from them, taking
into account the delay caused by the initval writes.
