But the commit "ath9k_hw: fix a noise floor calibration related race condition" makes the PA calibration executed more frequently beased on nfcal_pending value. Running PAOffset calibration lesser than longcal interval doesn't help anything and the worse part is that it causes NF load timeouts and RX deaf conditions. In a very noisy environment, where the distance b/w AP & station is ~10 meter and running a downlink udp traffic with frequent background scan causes "Timeout while waiting for nf to load: AR_PHY_AGC_CONTROL=0x40d1a" and moves the chip into deaf state. This issue was originaly reported in Android platform where the network-manager application does bgscan more frequently on AR9271 chips. (AR9285 family usb device).
