The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

This patch fixes several shortcomings of the
previous implementation. Features of the
rewrite include:
* handles undocumented "0x0000" word at the
start of the frequency table.
(Affected some early? DELL 1450 USB devices
and my Symbol 5GHz miniPCI card.)
* supports more than just one reference point
per band. (Also needed for the Symbol card.)
* ships with default values in case the eeprom
data is damaged, absent or unsupported.

This patch re-enables p54's power save features and adds a workaround
which temporarily alters the device's power state in order to allow
ps-polls to be sent and buffered data to be retrieved during psm.
(Incorporates patch originally posted as "p54: fix beacon template dtim
IE corruption". -- JWL)
