If driver load is failed, sometimes few pointers may remain
uninitialized ex. priv->wdev, priv->netdev, adapter->sleep_cfm
This will cause NULL pointer dereferance while unloading the
driver.

Pass mwifiex_private pointer directly to wmm_add_buf_txqueue()
instead of passing adapter and then deriving priv again in
mwifiex_get_priv_by_id(). This reduces a 'for' loop in TX path.

Current implementation, for retrieving priv from adapter,
uses bss_index. In multi interface environment supporting
different types, bss_index may not be unique.
Use bss_type along with bss_num to retrieve the priv.
bss_index is removed with this change.

cfg_workqueue was added to notify cfg80211 that scan, connect
or disconnect is done by calling respective completion handlers.
We can avoid use of this workqueue by calling those handlers
from other places.
1) Call connect, disconnect completion handlers in their callback
functions.
ex. Call cfg80211_connect_result() in mwifiex_cfg80211_connect()
2) Call scan completion handler after parsing response of last scan
command in a queue.
After removing the workqueue, variables (assoc_request etc.) and
checks used for mutual exclusion become redundant. Those are also
removed in this patch.

Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition)
is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads
enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the
threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is
same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response
of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command
response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd
command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last
command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver
command time out is seen for INIT command.
This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for
each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated
differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag
(scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.

In failure case locks are not allocated in mwifiex_register().
So mwifiex_free_lock_list() routine call becomes redundant.
Also we don't need to check return type for mwifiex_init_lock_list()
routine. It never fails.

1) Avoid global adapter pointer usage
a) in sdio.c by moving some code from mwifiex_cleanup_module() to
mwifiex_sdio_remove().
b) in main.c by passing an extra parameter to few functions.
2) Add new variable "user_rmmod" to identify if mwifiex_sdio_remove()
callback function is called in card removal or rmmod context. These
code changes are adapted from Libertas driver.
3) Remove unnecessary NULL pointer check for "func" pointer in
mwifiex_sdio_remove().

For SD8787 A0/A1 chipsets we use the default firmware image
file 'mrvl/sd8787_uapsta.bin'. So the chip rev id variable
is removed.
The global variable fw_name is moved to adapter structure
so that we can support a different interface, such as PCIe,
in future.
