bb6bd25c08 b43: use kernel api to replace b43 specific helper function
Use ieee80211_channel_to_frequency() to replace b43_channel_to_freq_{2,5}ghz(),
and remove unused b43_freq_to_channel_{2,5}ghz().

5e20a4b530 b43: Fix firmware loading when driver is built into the kernel
Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the
probe routine to fail because the request to user space would time
out. The original fix for b43 (commit 6b6fa58) moved the firmware
load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous
firmware loading. This method is OK when b43 is built as a module;
however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel.

This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file
using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to
hold the work queue until that file is available. This driver
reads several firmware files - the remainder can be read synchronously.
On some test systems, the async read fails; however, a following synch
read works, thus the async failure falls through to the sync try.

4da909e7b5 b43: do not use SSB specific flags when calling core reset function
Luckily the only flag we use when calling core reset is GMODE one.
Thanks to that we can just switch to single bool and make function calls
bus generic.

Tested on my BCM4312 (LP-PHY) and early tested with BCM43224.

060210f938 b43: Dynamically control log verbosity
Dynamically control the log verbosity with a module parameter.
This enables us to dynamically enable debugging messages (or disable
info, warn, error messages) via module parameter or /sys/module/b43/parameters/verbose.

This increases the module size by about 3k. But in practice it reduces the
module size for the user, because some distributions ship the b43 module
with CONFIG_B43_DEBUG set, which increases the module by about 15k.

So with this patch applied, distributions should really _disable_ CONFIG_B43_DEBUG.
There is no reason to keep it in a production-release kernel.
So we have a net reduction in size by about 12k.

This patch also adds a printk of the wireless core revision, so people
don't have to enable SSB debugging to get the wireless core revision.

1a9f509368 b43: Automatically probe for opensource firmware
First probe for proprietary firmware and then probe for opensource firmware.
This way around it's a win-win situation.
1) If proprietary fw is available, it will work.
2) If opensource firmware is available, but no proprietary (Distros can only ship open fw)
   it might work.
3) If both open and proprietary are available, it will work, because it selects
   the proprietary. We currently don't prefer the open fw in this case, because it doesn't
   work on all devices. It would introduce a regression otherwise.

The remaining FIXMEs in this patch are harmless, because they only matter on multiband
devices, which are not implemented yet anyway.

f5eda47f45 b43: Rewrite LO calibration algorithm
This patch distributes the Local Oscillator calibration bursts over time,
so that calibration only happens when it's actually needed.
Currently we periodically perform a recalibration of the whole table.
The table is huge and this takes lots of time. Additionally only small bits
of the table are actually needed at a given time. So instead of maintaining
a huge table with all possible calibration values, we create dynamic calibration
settings that
a) We only calibrate when they are actually needed.
b) Are cached for some time until they expire.
So a recalibration might happen if we need a calibration setting that's not
cached, or if the active calibration setting expires.
Currently the expire timeout is set to 30 seconds. We may raise that in future.

This patch reduces overall memory consumption by nuking the
huge static calibration tables.

This patch has been tested on several 4306, 4311 and 4318 flavours.
