2e286947f1 ath9k: remove support for the FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS filter flag
The hardware rx filter flag triggered by FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS is overly broad
and covers even frames with PHY errors. When this flag is enabled, this message
shows up frequently during scanning or hardware resets:

ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up

Since promiscuous mode is usually not particularly useful, yet enabled by
default by bridging (either used normally in 4-addr mode, or with hacks
for various virtualization software), we should sacrifice it for better
reliability during normal operation.

This patch leaves it enabled if there are active monitor mode interfaces, since
it's very useful for debugging.

5f6722ee63 wl1251: fix elp_work race condition
While working on PS I've noticed elp_work is kicking rather often, and
sometimes the chip is put to sleep before 5ms delay expires. This
seems to happen because by the time wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup is called
elp_work might still be pending. After wakeup is done, the processing
may take some time, during which 5ms might expire and elp_work might
get scheduled. In this case, ss soon as 1st thread finishes work and
releases the mutex, elp_work will then put the device to sleep without
5ms delay. In addition 1st thread will queue additional elp_work
needlessly.

Fix this by cancelling work in wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup instead.

d0c331aff9 wl1251: remove wl1251_ps_set_elp function
wl1251_ps_set_elp() only does acx_sleep_auth call and takes the chip
from/to ELP, however all callers of wl1251_ps_set_mode() have already
taken the chip out of ELP and puts it back to ELP when they finish.
This makes ELP calls (and register writes they result in) superfluous.

So remove wl1251_ps_set_elp function and call acx_sleep_auth directly.

4d9d88d121 net/wireless: add COUNTRY to to regulatory device uevent
Regulatory devices issue change uevents to inform userspace of a need
to call the crda tool; however these can often be sent before udevd is
running, and were not previously included in the results of
udevadm trigger (which requests a new change event using the /uevent
attribute of the sysfs object).

Add a uevent function to the device type which includes the COUNTRY
information from the last request if it has yet to be processed, the
case of multiple requests is already handled in the code by checking
whether an unprocessed one is queued in the same manner and refusing
to queue a new one.

The existing udev rule continues to work as before.

410f2bb30d iwlwifi: avoid too frequent recover from statistics
Usually H/W generate statistics notify once per about 100ms, but
sometimes we can receive notify in shorter time, even 2 ms.

This can be problem for plcp health and ack health checking.

I.e. with 2 plcp errors happens randomly in 2 ms duration, we
exceed plcp delta threshold equal to 100 (2*100/2).

Also checking ack's in short time, can results not necessary false
positive and firmware reset, for example when channel is noised and
we do not receive ACKs frames or when remote device does not send
ACKs at the moment.

Patch change code to do statistic check and possible recovery only
if 99ms elapsed from last check. Forced delay should assure we have
good statistic data to estimate hardware state.

When setting up multiple BSSIDs in AP mode on an rt2800pci device we
previously used the STAs AID to select an appropriate key slot. But
since the AID is per VIF we can end up with two STAs having the same AID
and thus using the same key index. This resulted in one STA overwriting
the key information of another STA.

Fix this by simply searching for the next unused entry in the pairwise
key table.

Also bring the key table init in sync with deleting keys by initializing
the key table entries to 0 instead of 1.

rt2x00queue_get_tx_queue that is only valid for tx queues and use it in
places where only tx queues are valid.

Furthermore, this new method is quite short and as such can be inlined
to avoid the function call overhead.

This only converts the txdone functions of drivers that don't use an ATIM
queue and the generic tx path.

6410db593e rtl8187: Change rate-control feedback
The driver for the RTL8187L chips returns IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK for all
packets, even if the maximum number of retries was exhausted. In addition
it fails to setup max_rates in the ieee80211_hw struct, This behavior
may be responsible for the problems noted in Bug 14168. As the bug is very
old, testers have not been found, and I do not have the case where the
indicated signal is less than -70 dBm.
