The ISL3887 chip needs a USB reset, whenever the
usb-frontend module "p54usb" is reloaded.
This patch fixes an off-by-one bug, if the user
is running a kernel without the CONFIG_PM option
set and for some reason (e.g.: compat-wireless)
wants to switch between different p54usb modules.

rt2x00: Move USB tx/rx done handling to workqueue
Move all TX and RX completion handling into a work structure,
which is handeled on the mac80211 workqueue. This simplifies
the code in rt2x00lib since it no longer needs to check if the
device is USB or PCI to decide which mac80211 function should be used.
In the watchdog some changes are needed since it can no longer rely
on the TX completion function to be run while looping through the
entries. (Both functions now work on the same workqueue, so this
would deadlock). So the watchdog now waits for the URB to return,
and handle the TX status report directly.
As a side-effect, the debugfs entry for the RX queue now correctly
displays the positions of the INDEX and INDEX_DONE counters. This
also implies that it is not possible to perform checks like queue_empty()
and queue_full() on the RX queue.

Use ath9k_cmn_get_hw_crypto_keytype() instead which is
already exported and shared, and does exactly the same thing.

mac80211: allow drivers to request SM PS mode change
Sometimes drivers have more information than the
stack about how their antennas/chains are used,
and may require that the SM PS mode be changed.
This could happen, for example, when detecting
that the user disconnected an antenna. Thus this
patch introduces API to allow drivers to request
SM PS mode changes.

cfg80211: deauth doesn't always imply disconnect
When an AP sends a deauth frame, or we send one
to an AP, that only means we lost our connection
if we were actually connected to that AP. Check
this to avoid sending spurious "disconnected"
events and breaking "iw ... link" reporting.

This patch introduces a new timer, which will release
queued-up MPDUs from the reorder buffer, whenever
they've waited for more than HT_RX_REORDER_BUF_TIMEOUT
(which is at around 100 ms).
The advantage of having a dedicated timer, instead of
relying on a constant stream of freshly arriving aMPDUs
to release the old ones, is particularly observable when
even a small fraction of MPDUs are forever lost at
low network speeds.
Previously under these circumstances frames would become
stuck in the reorder buffer and the network stack of both
HT peers throttled back, instead of revving up and
gunning the pipes.
