ssb: do not read SPROM if it does not exist
Attempting to read registers that don't exist on the SSB bus can cause
hangs on some boxes. At least some b43 devices are 'in the wild' that
don't have SPROMs at all. When the SSB bus support loads, it attempts
to read these (non-existant) SPROMs and causes hard hangs on the box --
no console output, etc.
This patch adds some intelligence to determine whether or not the SPROM
is present before attempting to read it. This avoids those hard hangs
on those devices with no SPROM attached to their SSB bus. The
SSB-attached devices (e.g. b43, et al.) won't work, but at least the box
will survive to test further patches. :-)

mac80211: Fix ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer with hw connection monitoring
When IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR is configured by the driver, starting
of ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer should be prevented, as it is then not needed.
This is currently partially the case. As it seems, when a probe-response is
received from the AP the timer is still restarted, thus restarting the host
based connection keep-alive mechanism. These probe-responses happen at least
when scanning while associated.
Fix this by preventing starting of the ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer in the
ieee80211_rx_mgmt_probe_resp function.

When I set up multiple VAPs with ath9k, I encountered an issue that
the traffic may be lost after a while.
The detailed phenomenon is
1. After a while the clients connected to one of these VAPs will get
into a state that no broadcast/multicast packets can be transfered
successfully while the unicast packets can be transfered normally.
2. Minutes latter the unitcast packets transfer will fail as well,
because the ARP entry is expired and it can't be freshed due to the
broadcast trouble.
It's caused by the group key overwritten and someone discussed this
issue in ath9k-devel maillist before, but haven't work out a fix yet.
I referred the method in madwifi, and made a patch for ath9k.
The method is to set the high bit of the sender(AP)'s address, and
associated that mac and the group key. It requires the hardware
supports multicast frame key search. It seems true for AR9160.
Not sure whether it's the correct way to fix this issue. But it seems
to work in my test. The patch is attached, feel free to revise it.

According to tests, both TSF lower and upper registers kept counting, so
the higher part could have been updated after the lower part has been
read, as shown in the following log where the upper part is read first
and the lower part next.
This patch corrects this by checking that the upper part has not been
changed while the lower part was read. It has been tested in an IBSS
network where artifical IBSS merges have been done in order to trigger
hundreds of rollover for the TSF lower part.
It follows the logic mentionned by Derek, with only 2 register reads
needed at each additional steps instead of 3 (the minimum number of
register reads is still 3).

Once upon a time the AR_EEPROM_MAC macro was added to let us
add a random attribute to the three 4-bytes of MAC addresses
entries we read from the EEPROM. This was good while a random
high-enough value was used which did not conflict with any
of the already existing enum eeprom_param values. With AR9003
support the enums overlap and it means we either increment
the random offset or just restore the reading logic to match
what the HAL has. I choose to do the later to synchronize
the logic on both code bases.
