4e416a6f49 p54: enhance firmware parser to reduce memory waste
This patch greatly reduces one of biggest memory waste in the driver.

The firmware headers provides the right values for extra head-/tailroom
and mtu size which are usually much lower than the old hardcoded ones.

84df3ed30b p54: redo queue numbering
The firmware supports 8 different queues and not only 4.
So, let's make some room for further tasks (ap/adhoc support)
in this area.

32ddf07185 p54: rename prism54xyz -> p54xyz
It's been a long time, but fullmac prism54 driver is still around...
I think we should rename every prism54* in order to avoid some
confusion about "what is actually what" in the future ;-).

Thanks-to: Maxi <maxi@daemonizer.de>

eda0c003d1 p54: Fix for TX sequence number problem
Following "mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers", if a packet
has the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ assigned, a sequence number must be
supplied, either by hardware or software. AFAIK, no such hardware exists
for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection
qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours
without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper
sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed
in the hardware state, not the vif state.

6041e2a08c p54: Fix potential concurrent access to private data
Experience with the rtl8187 driver has shown that mac80211 can make
calls to the config callback routine in rapid succession. This patch
creates a mutex that protects the private data in several of the routines
called by mac80211.

57ffc589a9 mac80211: clean up get_tx_stats callback
The callback takes a ieee80211_tx_queue_stats with a contained
array of ieee80211_tx_queue_stats_data, remove the former, rename
the latter to ieee80211_tx_queue_stats and make tx_stats() take
the array directly.
