7303dd7f31 iwlwifi: mvm: Enable power save on BSS and P2P client in DCM
New FW enables support for power save on BSS and P2P client MACs
simultaneously when they function on different channels (DCM).
Enable this case in the driver after examining new TLV flag -
IWL_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_BSS_P2P_PS_DCM. Still power management is not
allowed on both MACs if they function on a same channel.
Remove another redundant TLV flag - IWL_UCODE_TLV_FLAGS_P2P_PS that
is not in use anymore. Remove bound_vif_cnt as redundant.

Allow reading/writing prph registers.

The address is set in the first argument
of the write operation. second argument
is optional and can be used for writing.

e.g.
echo '0xA01234 0x99' > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/iwlwifi/iwlmvm/prph_reg
will write 0x99 into reg 0xA01234

cat /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/iwlwifi/iwlmvm/prph_reg
will show its current value (probably 0x99)

56bd24a18e mwifiex: provision for holding and restoring packets during TDLS setup
While TDLS link is being setup, few packets from this station to
peer station may be buffered at AP. It may happen that once TDLS
link is setup, packets sent from station to peer on direct link
get delivered before traffic from AP arrives at peer station.
This results into packet reordering issue at peer station.

To avoid this, we hold data packets destined to TDLS peer during
TDLS setup. These packets are moved to temperory TDLS TX queue.
Upon successful TDLS setup, they are moved to RA list created for
this peer. Upon failure, packets are moved back to AP's RA list
for that particular TID.

189b3299fe mwifiex: don't leak DMA command skbuffs
The current mwifiex pcie driver assumed that it would get
its cmdrsp_complete() callback called before another command
was sent to unmap the command's skbuff. However, that is not
true. The mwifiex_check_ps_cond() will send a sleep command
to the card without having adapter->curr_cmd set. Within the
workqueue's state machine the adapter's state would be set
to allow commands (curr_cmd = NULL && cmd_sent = false) after
having receieved the response from the sleep command. The
card->cmd_buf would then be overridden with the new command
but the first command's skbuff was not unmapped. This leaks
mapped skbuffs when a bounce buffer is employed.

To rectify this unmap the card->cmd_buf when the response is
received from the card instead of waiting for the
cmdrsp_complete() callback.

dbccc92b5d mwifiex: balance dma map/unmap sizes
Depending on the underlying DMA implementation its
not possible to partially unmap DMA buffers. Moreover
its not possible to understand the intent of passing
0 as the size to dma unmap. The intent of this
driver is unmap the entire skb buffer. The only way
to ensure that the size matches on unmap is to store
both the dma address and the size in the skb ca field.

Introduce a mwifiex_dma_mapping structure which tracks
the dma address and the size. Additionally, provide
a mwifiex_unmap_pci_memory() that utilizes the new
structure. This also provide symmetry within the
internal API.

9e495a2603 ath9k: Remove ath9k rate control
There is no benefit in retaining the legacy rate control module
in the driver codebase.

It is known to be buggy and has less than optimal performance
in real-world environments compared with minstrel. The only
reason that it was kept when we made the switch to minstrel
as default was that it showed higher throughput numbers in a
clean/ideal environment.

This is no longer the case and minstrel can push ath9k to
the same throughput levels. In TCP, with 3-stream cards, more than
295 Mbps can be obtained in open air, with 2-stream cards,
210 Mbps is easily reached. To test performance issues,
instead of using a broken rate control module, it is better
to use the fixed-rate interface provided by mac80211 anyway.

The ath9k RC has not received any bug fixes in years and is
just bit-rotting away - this patch removes it.
