rt2x00: Write the BSSID to register when interface is added
For the Master mode case, we initialized the BSSID as the MAC

Hardware crypto to break in Master mode when receiving frames

This is safe for STA mode since the BSSID will be initialized

ath9k: fix retry count for A-MPDU rate control status reports
The 'bf_retries' field of the ath_buf structure was used for both
software retries (AMPDU subframes) and hardware retries (legacy
frames). This led to a wrong retry count being reported for the A-MPDU
rate control stats.
This patch changes the code to no longer use bf_retries for reporting
retry counts, but instead always using the real on-chip retry count
from the ath_tx_status.
Additionally, if the first subframe of an A-MPDU was not acked, the tx
status report is submitted along with the first acked subframe, which
may not contain the correct rates in the tx info.
This is easily corrected by saving the tx rate info before looping over
subframes, and then copying it back once the A-MPDU status report is
submitted.
In my tests this change improves throughput visibly.

broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that
the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_,
which the new code no longer did, and normally it
_never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually,
the code prior to my patch there would have been
broken already.
The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask
the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the
new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it
since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending
on the default filter in the device, which isn't
necessarily what we want (since we don't program it
right now).
Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have
allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.
It is possbile that the transmission of paprd test frame

in accessing already freed memory when the associated pending

mac80211: Add interface for driver to temporarily disable dynamic ps
This mechanism introduced in this patch applies (at least) for hardware
designs using a single shared antenna for both WLAN and BT. In these designs,
the antenna must be toggled between WLAN and BT.
In those hardware, managing WLAN co-existence with Bluetooth requires WLAN
full power save whenever there is Bluetooth activity in order for WLAN to be
able to periodically relinquish the antenna to be used for BT. This is because
BT can only access the shared antenna when WLAN is idle or asleep.
Some hardware, for instance the wl1271, are able to indicate to the host
whenever there is BT traffic. In essence, the hardware will send an indication
to the host whenever there is, for example, SCO traffic or A2DP traffic, and
will send another indication when the traffic is over.
The hardware gets information of Bluetooth traffic via hardware co-existence
control lines - these lines are used to negotiate the shared antenna
ownership. The hardware will give the antenna to BT whenever WLAN is sleeping.
This patch adds the interface to mac80211 to facilitate temporarily disabling
of dynamic power save as per request of the WLAN driver. This interface will
immediately force WLAN to full powersave, hence allowing BT coexistence as
described above.
In these kind of shared antenna desings, when WLAN powersave is fully disabled,
Bluetooth will not work simultaneously with WLAN at all. This patch does not
address that problem. This interface will not change PSM state, so if PSM is
disabled it will remain so. Solving this problem requires knowledge about BT
state, and is best done in user-space.

ath5k: review and add comments for descriptors
I carefully reviewed desh.h against the HAL sources. Added comments and made
differences between 5210, 5211 and 5212 more clear by adding _521x to the
defines which are specific to that chipset. Renamed some defines. No functional
changes.

ath5k: use direct function calls for descriptors when possible
Use direct function calls for ath5k_hw_setup_rx_desc() and
ath5k_hw_setup_mrr_tx_desc() instead of a function pointer which always pointed
to the same function in the case of ath5k_hw_setup_rx_desc() and which is
easily unified in the case of ath5k_hw_setup_mrr_tx_desc().
Also simplify the initialization function for the remaining function pointers.

ath5k: move checks and stats into new function
Create a new function ath5k_receive_frame_ok() which checks for errors, updates
error statistics and tells us if we want to further "receive" this frame or
not. This way we can avoid a goto and have a cleaner separation between buffer
handling and other things.

Enable LED by default and update the MODULE_PARM_DESC. The original
reason for defaulting to disabled was documented in 2005 and noted, "The
LED code has been reported to hang some systems when running ifconfig
and is therefore disabled by default." This no longer appears
applicable and users have been requesting this be enabled for several
years.

ath9k_hw: avoid setting cwmin/cwmax to 0 for IBSS for AR9003
IBSS requires the cwmin and cwmax to be respected when
we reset the txqueues on AR9003 otherwise the distribution
of beacons will be balanced towards the AR9003 card first
preventing equal contention for air time for other peers
on the IBSS.
Without this IBSS will work but only the AR9003 card will be
be issuing beacons on the IBSS.

rt2x00: Synchronize WCID initialization with legacy driver
Legacy rt2870 driver handles WCID differently then we expected,

After this, rt2800usb reports frames have been decrypted

Note that for txdone reporting, only rt61pci is capable of

rt2x00: Fix tx status reporting when falling back to the lowest rate
In some corner cases the reported tx rates/retries didn't match the really
used ones.
The hardware lowers the tx rate on each consecutive retry by 1 (but won't
fall back from MCS to legacy rates) _until_ it reaches the lowest one.
In case the frame wasn't sent succesful the number of retries is 7 and if
a rate index <7 was used the previous code reported negative rate indexes
which were then ignored by the rate control algorithm and mac80211.
Instead, report the remaining number of retries to have happened with
the lowest rate (index 0). This should give the rate control algorithm
slightly more accurate information about the used tx rates/retries.
