mac80211: fix erroneous clearing of MESH_PATH_SN_VALID flag
When a PREQ or PREP is received from an intermediate node, it contains
useful information for path selection but it doesn't include the
originator's sequence number. Therefore, when updating the mesh path
to that intermediate node, we should not set the MESH_PATH_SN_VALID
flag. BUT, if the flag is set, it should not be unset as we might have
received a valid sequence number for that intermediate node in the past.
This issue was reported, fixed and tested by Ya Bo (游波) and Pedro
Larbig (ASPj).

rt2x00: Fix PCI interrupt processing race on SMP systems
When toggle_irq is called for PCI devices to disable device interrupts
it used tasklet_disable to wait for a possibly running tasklet to finish.
However, on SMP systems the tasklet might still be scheduled on another CPU.
Instead, use tasklet_kill to ensure that all scheduled tasklets are finished
before returning from toggle_irq.
Furthermore, it was possible that a tasklet reenabled its interrupt even
though interrupts have been disabled already. Fix this by checking the
DEVICE_STATE_ENABLED_RADIO flag before reenabling single interrupts
during tasklet processing.
While at it also enable/kill the TBTT and PRETBTT tasklets in the
toggle_irq callback and only use tasklet_kill in stop_queue to wait
for a currently scheduled beacon update before returning.

No commands can be run while the interface is down, so the ndo_dev_stop

to disconnect from the network and disabling multicast functionality)
directly.
power_save and power_restore hooks are added meaning that card drivers
can take steps to turn the device off when the interface is down.
The MAC address can now only be changed when all interfaces are down;
the new address will be programmed when an interface gets brought up.
This matches mac80211 behaviour.

After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would
like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless
trees and replacing the staging driver.
The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.
The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49
kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107
to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26
to zero :)
There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we
decided to omit for now:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31:
WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527:
WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms;
see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt
The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific
structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have
any big endian hardware to test that right now.
We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The
code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.
Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:
o HCI over SDIO support
o nl80211 testmode
o firmware logging
o suspend support
Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI
over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to
share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research
more.
Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.
As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I
decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16
and sle32, especially from wmi.h.
Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall of
fame based on number of patches is:
