There are a number of parameters that aren't really hardware
specific but rather define how the DVM firmware is used.
Move these into the DVM configuration.

Until now we didn't handle properly the FLUSH ampdu action
coming from mac80211. This could result in SCD queue leak:
mac80211 would STOP_FLUSH an AMPDU Tx session and remove
the station. If we had still packets on the ring, we
wouldn't deallocate the SCD queue and wait for it to be
empty.
The indication of the queue being empty comes from the Tx
response flow which relies on the tid_data structure. The
problem is that this structure has been cleared when the
station has been removed.
In order to solve this issue, block in the STOP_FLUSH
ampdu_action until the SCD queue is flushed, and only then,
let mac80211 move forward to remove the station.
iwlagn_txfifo_flush had to be enhanced to allow this.
The bug fixed here caused the "txq_id mismatch: 12 0" print.

Alex Romosan reported that since the mac80211 changes in
"mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status" and
the subsequent fixes in "mac80211: fix auth/assoc timeout
handling" (commits 1672c0e319 and 89afe614c0) there's
sometimes an issue connecting to a 5 GHz network with the
iwlwifi DVM driver.
The reason appears to be that since these commits any bad
TX status makes mac80211 immediately try again, causing
all of the authentication attempts to be quickly rejected
by the firmware as it hasn't heard a beacon yet. Before,
it would wait for the timeout regardless of status.
To fix this, invoke the passive-no-RX workaround when not
associated yet as well. This will cause the first frame
to get lost, but then the driver will stop the queues and
the second attempt will only be transmitted after hearing
a beacon, thus delaying it appropriately to not make the
firmware reject it again.

With new transports coming up, move to threaded
interrupt handling now. This has the advantage
that we can use the same locking scheme with all
different transports we may need to implement.
Note that the TX path obviously still runs in a
tasklet, so some spin_lock() calls need to change
to spin_lock_bh() calls to properly lock out the
TX path.
In my test on a Calpella platform this has no
impact on throughput or latency.
Also add lockdep annotations to avoid lockups due
to catch sending synchronous commands or using
locks that connect with them from the irq thread.

The rate scaling won't treat the information in a frame
with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU set if IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU
is cleared. But all the frames coming from an AGG tx queue
have IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU set, and IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU
is set only if the frame was sent in an AMPDU.
This means that all the data in frames in AGG tx queues that
aren't sent as an AMPDU is thrown away.
This is even more harmful when in bad link conditions, the
frames are sent in an AMPDU and then finally sent as single
frame. So a lot of failures weren't reported and the rate
scaling got stuck in high rates leading to very poor
connectivity.
Fix that by clearing IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU when the frame
isn't part of an AMPDU.

We know that we have issues with the fw in the reclaim path.
This is why iwl_reclaim doesn't complain too loud when it
happens since it is recoverable. Somehow, the caller of
iwl_reclaim however WARNed when it happens. This doesn't
make any sense.
When I digged into the history of that code, I discovered
that this bug occurs only when we receive a BA notification.
So move the W/A in the BA notification handling code where
it was before.

By using a few temporary variables, smatch can track

The EEPROM reading/parsing code is all mixed in
the driver today, and the EEPROM is parsed only
when we access data from it. This is problematic
because the NVM needs to be parsed and that is
independent of reading it. Also, the NVM format
for new devices will be different and probably
require a new parser.
Therefore refactor the reading and parsing and
create two independent components. Reading the
EEPROM requires direct hardware accesses and
therefore access to the transport, but parsing
is independent and can be done on an NVM blob.
