60ea385ff2 NET: nl80211, fix lock imbalance and netdev referencing
Stanse found that nl80211_set_wiphy imporperly handles a lock and netdev
reference and contains unreachable code. It is because there return statement
isntead of assignment to result variable. Fix that.

For newer devices (6000g2a and 6000g2b), the sensitivity table send to

6555063666 iwlwifi: add support for device tx flush request
"Flush" request can come from two different sources, it can either from
mac80211, or from device when the operation is needed. Here
adding the support for device issue "flush" request.

When receive tx complete with status is TX_STATUS_FAIL_RFKILL_FLUSH,
issue REPLY_TXFIFO_FLUSH command to uCode to flush out all the tx frames
in queues.

In this condition, since mac80211 has no knowledge of "flush" operation,
driver need to stop all the tx queues and wait for the operation
completed before wake up the queues for frames transmission.

716c74b007 iwlwifi: add mac80211 flush callback support
Adding flush callback support in the driver. Two type of flush can be
issued by mac80211:
1. drop = true: frame drop is ok, issue REPLY_TXFIFO_FLUSH host command
to uCode to drop all the frames in tx fifo queues; then return the
control back to mac80211
2. drop = false: wait for either all the frames in tx fifo queues been
transmitted, or timeout; then return the control back to mac80211

If the flush request coming from mac80211, mac80211 will make sure there
are no additional frames push down to driver before flush operation is
completed.

c04f9f2203 iwlwifi: fix fw_restart module parameter
fw_restart module parameter was broken by the recent check for stuck
queue patch, driver check the fx_restart module parameter
before reload the firmware; but the stuck queue timer kick in after
firmware error and reload the firmware even fw_restart=0. In this case,
driver should not reload the firmware, it is important to help debugging
uCode error.

The only case we can ignore the module parameter is when user request
firmware reload from debugfs, which can bypass the checking and perform
firmware reload all the time.

f860d526eb ath9k: fix TSF after reset on AR913x
When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of
the 913x specific cold reset. As with some AR9280 cards, the TSF needs
to be preserved in software here.

Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful
TSF write directly after the chip reset. In this case, repeating the
TSF write after the initval-writes usually works.

This patch detects failed TSF writes and recovers from them, taking
into account the delay caused by the initval writes.

e22557f2e3 rt2x00: Fix antenna initialization
Legacy driver indicates that BBP1_TX_ANTENNA must be set
to 0 for TXPATH values of 1 and 3. So the previous statement
that nothing should be done for TXPATH = 3, is false.

Furthermore, remove the false BBP3_RX_ANTENNA initialization
when TXPATH is 1 for PCI and SOC devices. This field will always
be overridden in the next switch statement, making this initialization
bogus. History of this line indicates it was there from the beginning,
and was once caught as typo. Instead of replacing the line with the
correct line, the correct line was added...

fdb8725122 rt2x00: fix beacon reset on rt2800
When an interface is removed the according beacon entry should be reset.
The current approach to only clear the first word is not enough to stop
the device from sending out the beacon, hence resulting in beacons being
sent out for already removed interfaces.

Fix this by invalidating the entire TXWI in front of the beacon instead
of only the first word.

Also clear all beacons during startup in the same way.

Hardware crypto to break in Master mode when receiving frames
which require the BSSID to be filled in.

This is safe for STA mode since the BSSID will be initialized
to 00:00:00:00:00 at this point, but will be set to the correct
value later when the device associates.

38bdb650f9 mac80211: fix the for_each_sta_info macro
Because of an ambiguity in the for_each_sta_info macro, it can
currently only be used if the third parameter is set to 'sta'.
Fix this by renaming the parameter to '_sta'.

78c4653a22 ath9k: fix retry count for A-MPDU rate control status reports
The 'bf_retries' field of the ath_buf structure was used for both
software retries (AMPDU subframes) and hardware retries (legacy
frames). This led to a wrong retry count being reported for the A-MPDU
rate control stats.
This patch changes the code to no longer use bf_retries for reporting
retry counts, but instead always using the real on-chip retry count
from the ath_tx_status.
Additionally, if the first subframe of an A-MPDU was not acked, the tx
status report is submitted along with the first acked subframe, which
may not contain the correct rates in the tx info.
This is easily corrected by saving the tx rate info before looping over
subframes, and then copying it back once the A-MPDU status report is
submitted.
In my tests this change improves throughput visibly.
