libertas: Add support for Marvell Libertas CF8305
The CF8305 is a very old silicon running firmware version 3.0 . This card also
needs some special treatment as it's so old it can't do unaligned register
access. But since that happens only at one place, there were no changes made to
the register access functions, but instead that particular place was fixed.
Also, this card uses only one-stage firmware which is loaded the same way as
helper firmware. The second-stage firmware isn't loaded on this card and doesn't
therefore have to be supplied.

mac80211: remove tasklet enable/disable

no need to ever disable them.
However, we need to clear the pending packets when
taking down the last interface because otherwise
the tx_pending_tasklet might be queued if the
driver mucks with the queues (which it shouldn't).
I've had a situation occasionally with ar9170 in
which ksoftirq was using 100% CPU time because
a disabled tasklet was scheduled, and I think that
was due to ar9170 receiving a packet while the

cfg80211: clean up properly on interface type change
When the interface type changes while connected, and the
driver does not require the interface to be down for a
type change, it is currently possible to get very strange
results unless the driver takes special care, which it
shouldn't have to.
To fix this, take care to disconnect/leave IBSS when
changing the interface type -- even if the driver may fail
the call. Also process all events that may be pending to
avoid running into a situation where an event is reported
but only processed after the type has already changed,
which would lead to missing events and warnings.
A side effect of this is that you will have disconnected
or left the IBSS even if the mode change ultimately fails,
but since the intention was to change it and thus leave or
disconnect, this is not a problem.

cfg80211: make spurious warnings less likely, configurable
Bob reported that he got warnings in IBSS mode about
the ssid_len being zero on a joined event, but only
when kmemcheck was enabled. This appears to be due
to a race condition between drivers and userspace,
when the driver reports joined but the user in the
meantime decided to leave the IBSS again, the warning
would trigger. This was made more likely by kmemcheck
delaying the code that does the check and sends the
event.
So first, make the warning trigger closer to the
driver, which means it's not locked, but since only
the warning depends on it that's ok.
And secondly, users will not want to have spurious
warnings at all, so make those that are known to be
racy in such a way configurable.

The patch "mac80211: fix PS-poll response race" somehow broke
broadcast buffering in a funny way.
During normal operation - stations are awake - the firmware refused
to transmit broadcast frames and reported P54_TX_PSM_CANCELLED.
But everything worked as soon as one station entered PSM.
The reason:
The stack sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM for outgoing
broadcast frames as soon as a station is marked as sleeping.
This flag triggers a path which will reroute these frames
into p54's "content after beacon" queue, which is designed
to cope with the demands for psm.
This patch restores the old behavior.
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT will once again be used to signalize
the firmware to ignore the ps canceling for certain frames.

The current mwl8k_priv->fw_lock spinlock doesn't actually protect
against multiple commands being submitted at once, as it is not kept
held over the entire firmware command submission. And since waiting
for command completion sleeps, we can't use a spinlock anyway.
To fix mwl8k firmware command serialisation properly, we have the
following requirements:
- Some commands require that the packet transmit path is idle when
the command is issued. (For simplicity, we'll just quiesce the
transmit path for every command.)
- There are certain sequences of commands that need to be issued to
the hardware sequentially, with no other intervening commands.
This leads to an implementation of a "firmware lock" as a mutex that
can be taken recursively, and which is taken by both the low-level
command submission function (mwl8k_post_cmd) as well as any users of
that function that require issuing of an atomic sequence of commands,
and quiesces the transmit path whenever it's taken.

ever shrink the packet on the rx path. (And on both paths we are
guaranteed to be the only user of the skb we are handling.)
This allows removing all of the skb clone handling in the tx and tx
reclaim paths, and eliminates error checks in both the tx and rx
paths, simplifying the code a bit more.

mwl8k: ->add_interface() is not called for monitor interfaces
There is no need to check for NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR in
->add_interface(), as this function is never called for monitor
interfaces. Also, there is no need to advertise this bit in our
wiphy's ->interface_modes.

mwl8k_configure_filter() passes pointers to total_flags and the
multicast address list to a workqueue function, while there is no
guarantee that those pointers will still be valid by the time the
workqueue function runs.
Solve this by passing total_flags by value, and by passing an
already built multicast address setup command packet to the workqueue
function so that we don't have to look at the multicast address list
itself outside of mwl8k_configure_filter().
Also, since ->configure_filter() can sleep now, wait synchronously
for the worker to finish.

Instead of passing a flag bitmask to mwl8k_cmd_802_11_radio_control,
pass the 'enable' and 'force' arguments as separate parameters, and
introduce wrappers for the common cases of enabling and disabling
without forcing.

Other than ns_avgbrssi (Average beacon rssi) no data of
ath9k_node_stats is being used anywhere. Nuke this structure
and move its only useful member to ar5416Anistate. Also cleanup
this redundant data in ath_softc.

Currently the beacon rssi that LPF gives is divided and rounded
up by ATH_RSSI_EP_MULTIPLIER twice. This will leave the incorrect rssi
in ANI. Having correct rssi in ANI fixes the connection stability at
< 30dB rssi range. This patch removes the unncessary computation of average
rssi over already valid average rssi. Also removes the redundant macros to
find average rssi.

mac80211: fix register_hw error path
"cfg80211: fix alignment problem in scan request"
introduced a bug into the error path, because now
we allocate the entire scan request and not just
the channel list (the channel list is allocated
together with the scan request) -- on errors we
thus also need to free the entire scan request.

b43: LP-PHY: Implement spec updates and remove resolved FIXMEs
Larry has started re-checking all current routines against a new
version of the Broadcom MIPS driver. This patch implements the first
round of changes he documented on the specs wiki.
Also remove a few FIXMEs regarding missing initial values for variables
with dynamic initial values where reading the values has been implemented.
