Subject: [PATCH 47/97] ath9k: Fix TX queue draining

From: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@...eros.com>

commit e8009e9850d59000d518296af372888911a129bd upstream.

When TX DMA termination has failed, the HW has to be reset
completely. Doing a fast channel change in this case is insufficient.
Also, change the debug level of a couple of messages to FATAL.
