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.

Drivers that load firmware from their probe routine have problems with
the latest versions of udev as they get timeouts while waiting for user
space to start. The problem is fixed by using request_firmware_nowait()
and delaying the start of mac80211 until the firmware is loaded.
To prevent the possibility of the driver being unloaded while the
firmware loading callback is still active, a completion queue entry
is used.
Also, to simplify the firmware loading procedure, this patch removes
the old, unofficial and confusing fallback firmware names. However,
they are still supported! So any user - who is still using them -
is hereby advised to link/rename their old firmware filenames:
isl3890usb to isl3886usb

In the experiment with Azimuth ADEPT-n testbed where the APs transmit
power was reduced to 25% and the signal strength was futher attenuated
by 20dB and induced a path loss of ~7dB, the station was reporting
beacon losses and the following issue were observed.
* rx clear is stuck at low for more than 300ms
* dcu chain and complete state is stuck at one of the hang signature
This patch triggers the hang detection logic that recovers the chip
from any of the above conditions. As the issue was originally reported
in ChromeOs with AR9382 chips, this detection logic is enabled only for
AR9380/2 chips.

This patch improves ANI operations by switching among the immunity
levels based on PHY errors and beacon rssi which will adjust receiver
desensitizing parameters. The changes are
* Configure the Weak Signal Detection based on current immunity value.
* At highest OFDM immunity level poor performance was observed with
strong interference. By tuning the FIR step and spur immunity levels
and not changing any weak signal detection thresholds at any level
helped to improve the performance.
* ANI took long time to recover back to lower immunity levels on heavy
data load. As the listen time got reset to zero before reaching to
the 5x of aniperiod, the immunity level is not lowering back even
without any interference. This patch fix that.

the problem arises from a setting of the gain when scans are started.

When we have downlink traffic alone and the station is going thru
bgscan, the client is out of operating channel for around 1000ms which
is too long. The mac80211 decides when to switch back to oper channel
based on tx queue, bad latency and listen time. As the station does not
have tx traffic, the bgscan can easily affect downlink throughput. By
reducing the listen time, it helps the associated AP to retain the
downstream rate.

Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The
assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help
de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous
interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are
collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too
much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips
specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the
connection stability in congested networks.

libertas provides a dump_survey implementation based on reading of
a RSSI value. However, this RSSI value is calculated based on the
last received beacon from the associated AP - it is not a good
way of surveying a channel in general, and even causes an error
if the card is not associated to a network.
As this is not appropriate as a survey, remove it. This fixes an
issue where something in userspace is repeatedly calling site-survey
during boot, resulting in many repeated errors as the RSSI value cannot
be read before associating.

Currently we read tx status register after each urb data transfer. As
callback procedure also trigger reading, that causing we have many
"threads" of reading status. To prevent that introduce TX_STATUS_READING
flags, and check if we are already in process of sequential reading
TX_STA_FIFO, before requesting new reads.
Change timer to hrtimer, that make TX_STA_FIFO overruns less possible.
Use 200 us for initial timeout, and then reschedule in 100 us period,
this values probably have to be tuned.
Make changes on txdone work. Schedule it from
rt2800usb_tx_sta_fifo_read_completed() callback when first valid status
show up. Check in callback if tx status timeout happens, and schedule
work on that condition too. That make possible to remove tx status
timeout from generic watchdog. I moved that to rt2800usb.
Loop in txdone work, that should prevent situation when we queue work,
which is already processed, and after finish work is not rescheduled
