orinoco: add orinoco_usb driver
This driver uses the core orinoco modules for the bulk of
the functionality. The low level hermes routines (for local bus
cards) are replaced, the driver supplies its own ndo_xmit_start

Some recent functionality is not available to the USB cards yet
(firmware loading and WPA).

iwl: cleanup: remove unneeded error handling
This is just a cleanup and doesn't change how the code works.
debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() return an error pointer
(-ENODEV) if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is not enabled, otherwise if an error occurs
they return NULL. This is how they are implemented and what it says in
the DebugFS documentation. DebugFS can not be compiled as a module.
As a result, we only need to check for error pointers and particularly
-ENODEV one time to know that DebugFS is enabled. This patch keeps the
first check for error pointers and removes the rest.
The other reason for this patch, is that it silences some Smatch warnings.
Smatch sees the condition "(result != -ENODEV)" and assumes that it's
possible for "result" to equal -ENODEV. If it were possible it would lead
to an error pointer dereference. But since it's not, we can just remove
the check.

Currently whenever rts thresold is set, every packet will use RTS
protection no matter its size exceeds the threshold or not. This is
due to a bug in the rts threshold check.
if (len > tx->local->hw.wiphy->rts_threshold) {
txrc.rts = rts = true;
}
Basically it is comparing an int (len) and a u32 (rts_threshold),
and the variable len is assigned as:
len = min_t(int, tx->skb->len + FCS_LEN,
tx->local->hw.wiphy->frag_threshold);
However, when frag_threshold is "-1", len is always "-1", which is
0xffffffff therefore rts is always set to true.

Quote from comment #17:
"The problem is the innocent looking moving of the tx processing to
after the rx processing in the tasklet. Quoting from the changelog:
This patch does it the same way, except that it also prioritize
rx data processing, simply because tx routines *can* wait.
This is causing an issue with us referencing already freed memory,
because some skb's we transmit, we immediately receive back, such
as those for reading the eeprom (*) and getting stats.
What can happen because of the moving of the tx processing to after
the rx processing is that when the tasklet first runs after doing a
special skb tx (such as eeprom) we've already received the answer
to it.
Then the rx processing ends up calling p54_find_and_unlink_skb to
find the matching tx skb for the just received special rx skb and
frees the tx skb.
Then after the processing of the rx skb answer, and thus freeing
the tx skb, we go process the completed tx ring entires, and then
dereference the free-ed skb, to see if it should free free-ed by
p54p_check_tx_ring()."
