O.K. i got that from legacy HAL. It first reads the register and if
it's zeroed it sets to the default value of 0x781 (which is the same
really, it's AR5K_TUNE_RSSI_THRES | AR5K_TUNE_BMISS_THRES <<
AR5K_RSSI_THR_BMISS_S), if not it saves it and restores it after reset
is done.
So can you see why this
/* Save RSSI thresholds (they 'll get zeroed from initvals) */
rssi_thr = ath5k_hw_reg_read(ah, AR5K_RSSI_THR);
/* If they are not set, set the default value */
if (!rssi_thr)
rssi_thr = AR5K_INIT_RSSI_THR;
doesn't work ? What is the value of rssi_trh if not zero ?
