iwlwifi: mvm: downgrade to old power management API
Current available FW still doesn't support new PM API.
Therefore, to enable basic power management with the
existing firmware, change the API in the driver back
to the API used in the current firmware.

rt2800 hardware sometimes reorders tx frames when transmitting to

To mitigate this effect associate the currently processed tx status

Under load, otherwise stable rates can easily fluctuate because of

There is need create driver own per interface debugfs files. This is

is possible that after we remove interface from the driver (i.e.
on suspend) we call drv_remove_interface_debugfs() function. Fixing this
problem will require to add call drv_{add,remove}_interface_debugfs()
anytime we create and remove interface in mac80211. So it's better to
