From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>

The commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
changed various ANI operational parameters to address a specific
card/environment. This is not really applicable for other cards
in general usage.

As per internal documentation, lowering the immunity level can be
done only after 5 periods have passed and the CCK/OFDM errors are
below the low watermak threshold - which have been fixed at 300 and
400 respectively by the sytems team.

Raising the immunity level can be done when CCK/OFDM errors exceed
600 and 1000 (per second).

Set these values once during attach.

With this patch, the raise-limit is always 3500, you should change it to
1000 when removing the above-/below-INI distinction.

Thanks, I'll fix this and send a v2.

Actually, the changes appear to have been merged internally, for QCA988x.
So, I am not sure if we can keep the ANI tweaks.

Let's see if there is any improvement in this bug with
these patches: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49201
