5e218b7ab8 mwifiex: display correct country information in debugfs "info"
Use "priv->country_code" string to display country information in
debugfs command "info" instead of "adapter->region_code".

"adapter->region_code" contains default region code got from FW while
initialization, whereas "priv->country_code" is updated in reg_notifier
handler whenever there is a change in regulatory domain.

2aac73f140 iwlwifi: create device configuration header file
The iwl-shared.h header file will be going away
soon. There isn't much left in it that we keep,
other than the device configuration declarations.

iwl-cfg.h seemed like a possible alternative but

11483b5c22 iwlwifi: move eeprom into priv
The whole code around eeprom is distributed
across whole bunch of different files, most
of which belong to the to-be-DVM code. As a
result, it is currently very hard to split
out the EEPROM code to be generic. However,
it is also quite unlikely that the current
EEPROM code will be needed by the MVM code
as that has different mechanisms to query
the EEPROM (it does so through the uCode.)

So, at least temporarily, move everything
into priv. If it becomes necessary to use
the code from MVM, we will have to split it
out, but then it's also easier since we'll
know what pieces we need.

48dffd397e iwlwifi: split force_reset debugfs file
Split the force_reset debugfs file into two
different files:
 * "rf_reset" triggers a reset of the RF when
   written to and exposes statistics on RF
   resets when read
 * fw_restart triggers a firmware restart when
   written to and lives in the transport

This cleans up all sources of firmware restart
to originate within the transport layer and
allows us to simplify some code.

7c5ba4a830 iwlwifi: move queue watchdog into transport
This removes one of the two sources of device
restarts in the upper layer -- those are a bit
inconvenient because normal restarts originate
in the transport. By moving the watchdog down
it can be treated the same.

Also rewrite the watchdog logic. Timers are
much more efficient when they never fire, so
instead firing a timer every 500ms set up a
timer for each TX queue and fire it only when
the queue is really stuck. This avoids the CPU
waking up when everything is working well.

While at it, remove the wd_disable config item
and replace it by simply setting wd_timeout to
IWL_WATCHHDOG_DISABLED (0).

we clean all this up and in doing so enable cut-specific code paths for

3a25a8c8b7 mac80211: add improved HW queue control
mac80211 currently only supports one hardware queue
per AC. This is already problematic for off-channel
uses since if we go off channel while the BE queue
is full and then try to send an off-channel frame
the frame will never go out. This will become worse
when we support multi-channel since then a queue on
one channel might be full, but we have to stop the
software queue for all channels. That is obviously
not desirable.

To address this problem allow drivers to register
more hardware queues, and allow them to map them to
virtual interfaces. When they stop a hardware queue
the corresponding AC software queues on the correct
interfaces will be stopped as well. Additionally,
there's an off-channel queue to solve that problem
and a per-interface after-DTIM beacon queue. This
allows drivers to manage software queues closer to
how the hardware works.

Currently, there's a limit of 16 hardware queues.
This may or may not be sufficient, we can adjust it
as needed.

4b6f1dd6a6 mac80211: add explicit monitor interface if needed
The queue mapping redesign that I'm planning to do
will break pure injection unless we handle monitor
interfaces explicitly. One possible option would
be to have the driver tell mac80211 about monitor
mode queues etc., but that would duplicate the API
since we already need to have queue assignments
handled per virtual interface.

So in order to solve this, have a virtual monitor
interface that is added whenever all active vifs
are monitors. We could also use the state of one
of the monitor interfaces, but managing that would
be complicated, so allocate separate state.

rtl8192se used as an AP suffers from "Out of SW-IOMMU space" errors. These
are caused by the DMA buffers used for beacons never being unmapped.

a7959c1394 rtlwifi: Preallocate USB read buffers and eliminate kalloc in read routine
The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to
acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When
_usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is
a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is
reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.
The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could
be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from
within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync()
by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and
allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.
