The ucode is able to answer probe response by itself. This writes such
a template into the specific memory. Currently the probe requests are
also send to mac80211 so there are more answers send to a requesting
client. We have to make the ucode stop sending probe requests to the
driver.

This patch addresses a long standing issue of the driver with the
mac80211 .flush() callback. Since implementing the .flush() callback
a number of issues have been fixed, but a WARN_ON_ONCE() was still
triggered because the timeout on the flush could still occur.
This patch changes the awkward design using msleep() into one using
a waitqueue. The waiting flush() context will kick the transmit dma
when it is idle and the timeout used waiting for the event is set
to 500 ms. Worst case there can be 64 frames outstanding for transmit
in the driver. At a rate of 1Mbps that would take 1.5 seconds assuming
MTU is 1500 bytes and ignoring retries. The WARN_ON_ONCE() is also
removed as this was put in to indicate the flush timeout as a reason
for the driver to stall. That was not happening since fixing endless
AMPDU retries with following upstream commit:

The .tx() callback function can drop packets when there is no
space in the DMA fifo. Propagate that information to caller

The brcmsmac internal tx buffering is problematic. The amount of
buffering is excessive (228 packets in addition to the 256 slots in each
DMA ring), and frames may be dropped due to a lack of flow control.
This patch reworks the transmit code path to remove the internal
buffering. Frames are immediately handed off to the DMA support rather
than passing through an intermediate queue. Non-aggregate frames are
queued immediately into the tx rings, and aggregate frames are queued
temporarily in an AMPDU session until ready for transmit.
Transmit flow control is also added to avoid dropping packets when the
tx rings are full. Conceptually this is a separate change, but it's
included in this commit because removing the tx queue without adding
flow control could cause significant problems.

The mac80211 tx queues and brcmsmac DMA fifos both map directly to AC
levels. Therefore it's much more straightforward to queue tx frames and
choose the tx fifo based on the mac80211 queue instead of mapping 802.1D
priority tags to precedence levels then back to AC levels. mac80211
already maps the 802.1D levels to the appropriate AC levels and queues
management frames at the maximum priority, so the results should be
identical.
One functional change resulting from this patch is that AMPDU retries no
longer get a priority boost to queue them ahead of packets with the same
priority already in the tx queue. This behavior will be restored (in
effect at least) in a later patch when the tx queue is removed.
