iwlwifi: delay firmware loading from pci_probe to network interface open
This patch moves the firmware loading (read firmware from disk and load
it into the device SRAM) from pci_probe time to the first network
interface open time. There are two reasons for doing this:
1. To support kernel buildin iwlwifi drivers. Because kernel initializes
network devices subsystem before hard disk and SATA subsystem, it is
impossible to get the firmware image from hard disk in the PCI probe
handler. Thus delaying the firmware loading into the network
interface open time is the way to go. Note, we only read the firmware
image from hard disk the first time the interface is open. After this
is succeeded, we cache the firmware image into the host memory. This
is a performance gain when user open and close the interface multiple
times and is necessary for device suspend and resume.
2. For better power saving. When the iwlwifi modules are loaded (or
buildin the kernel) but the wireless network interface is not being
used, it is a good practice the wireless device consumes as less
power as possible. Unloading the firmware from the wireless device
and unregister the driver's interrupt handler in the network
interface close handler provides users a way to achieve this. User
space network configuration tools (i.e NetworkManager) can also
contribute here when it detects a wired cable is connected and
close the wireless interface automatically.
This patch also includes the pci_save/restore_state() fixed by Ian Schram
upon the first version.

enable N-PHY stuff.
To enable N-PHY probing simply remove the BROKEN dependency
and enable the option in the kernel config.

b43: Remove PIO support
Remove b43 PIO support.
DMA works well on all supported devices. There's no reason to use PIO.
Additionally, new devices don't support PIO in hardware anymore.
b43 PIO support is dead and unused code.
After applying this patch please do
git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.h
git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.c
to remove the main PIO support code.

ssb: Fix PCMCIA lowlevel register access
This fixes lowlevel register access for PCMCIA based devices.
The patch also adds a temporary workaround for the device mac address.
It simply adds generation of a random address. The real SPROM extraction
will follow in another patch.
The temporary workaround will be removed then, but for now it's OK.

ssb: Fix extraction of values from SPROM
This fixes extraction of some values from the SPROM.
It mainly fixes extraction of antenna related values, which
is needed for another b43 fix sent later.

Reviewing the semaphore usage I noticed these down_interruptible calls. Most
of these aren't returning anything, so a caller can't tell if the operation
completed or not. prism54_wpa_bss_ie_get() returns zero, but it's treated as
the function failing which doesn't seem correct.

This turns out to be true only for rtl8180. On rtl8187, power levels are
indeed stored in nibbles, so this patch is wrong. Please revert this patch.

airo: sanitize BSSListRid handling
Stop byteswap-in-place in readBSSListRid(), annotate the sucker.
BTW, that had immediately found a bug - another codepath fetching
the same struct from card did _not_ byteswap, but used ->dBm the
same as everything else - host-endian. Fix in the next patch...
