Both USB and PCI drivers allow a system administrator to dynamically add
USB/PCI IDs to the device table that a driver supports via the
/sys/bus/{usb,pci,pci_express}/drivers/<driver-name>/new_id files.
However, for the rt2x00 drivers using this method currently crashes the
system with a NULL pointer failure.
This is due to the set-up of rt2x00 where the probe functions require a
rt2x00_ops structure in the driver_info field of the probed device. As
this field is empty for the dynamically added devices this fails for
these devices.
Fix this by introducing driver-specific probe wrappers that do nothing
but calling the bus-specific probe functions with the rt2x00_ops structure
as an argument, rather than depending on the driver_info field.

rt2x00: Decrease association time for USB devices
When powersaving is enabled, assocaition times are very high
(for WPA2 networks, the time can easily be around the 3 seconds).
This is caused, because the flushing of the queues takes
too much time. Without the flushing callback mac80211 assumes
a timeout of 100ms while scanning. Limit all flush waiting
loops to the same maximum.
We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the
driver, which makes sure the driver performs extra actions
during the waiting for the queue to become empty.
After these changes, association times fall within the
healthy range of ~0.6 seconds with powersaving enabled.
The difference between association time between powersaving
enabled and disabled is now only ~0.1 second (which can also
be due to the measuring method).

A secondary problem, is that one part of the field are initialized only
during boot, because the driver requirements are initialized or device
requirements are loaded from the EEPROM. In both cases, the flags are
fixed and will not change during device operation. The other flags are
the device state, and will change frequently. So far this resulted in the fact
that for some flags, the atomic bit accessors are used, while for the others
the non-atomic variants are used.
By splitting the flags up into a "flags" and "cap_flags" we can put all flags
which are fixed inside "cap_flags". This field can then be read non-atomically.
In the "flags" field we keep the device state, which is going to be read atomically.

This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being

This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting
of A-MDPU subframes.
Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every
single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT
for unaggregated frames.
A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they
enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure
that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state.
Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter
needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.

The length of the received SKB could be equal to
HTC_RX_FRAME_HEADER_SIZE in case of packets with phy/crc errors,
in which case they are dropped without being processed.
Fix this check so that the error counters are updated correctly.

Use a queue to handle WMI events and schedule a tasklet
to process the events. This fixes the race between the
WMI event ISR and the SWBA tasklet when the arrival of
WMI events in quick succession could overwrite the SWBA
data before the tasklet from a previous iteration could
have been scheduled. Also, drain the WMI queue properly.

Transmission of beacons becomes erratic when TX load
is high, since the latency involved in the generation
of a SWBA interrupt on the target to the actual sending
of a beacon is quite high for USB devices.
Fix this by adjusting the beacon response time.

In multi-interface mode, beacons/probe responses that are
sent out must have their timestamp field updated. Calculate
the TSF adjustment value for each beaconing interface and set it
in the frame properly.

mwl8k: use traffic threshold to decide when to start ampdu
Currently, ampdu stream is created on the first qos packet to an
HT sta. The overhead of setting up the BA session may not be
justified if the outgoing packet rate is minimal (e.g., ping). So
we only allow ampdu streams after seeing a critical number of
packets in an arbitrary one-second interval.
