On each TX descriptor allocation, a free entry is found by traversing the TX
descriptors array.
Improve this by holding a bitmap of all TX descriptors, and using efficient
bit operations to search for free entries.

While wl1271_irq_work handles RX directly (by calling wl1271_rx), a different
work is scheduled for transmitting packets. The IRQ work might handle more than
one interrupt during a single call, including multiple TX completion
interrupts. This might starve TX, since no packets are transmitted until all
interrupts are handled.
Fix this by calling the TX work function directly, instead of deferring
it.

Currently, the driver does not handle a failing hardware command to scan in
any way - effectively, the scan machine will jam until the driver is shut down,
and future scan requests will just return -EBUSY to user space, resulting in
a type of busy-loop. The same problem occurs if the firmware fails to deliver
the scan completion event - add timeout for this.

This patch is a complete rewrite of the scanning code. It now includes a
state machine to scan all four possible sets of channels independently:
2.4GHz active, 2.4GHz passive, 5GHz active and 5GHz passive. The wl1271
firmware doesn't allow these sets to be mixed, so up to several scan commands
have to be issued. This patch also allows scanning more than 24 channels per
set, by breaking the sets into smaller parts if needed (the firmware can scan
a maximum of 24 channels at a time).
Previously, the scanning code was erroneously scanning all channels possible
actively, not complying with the CRDA values. This is also fixed with this
patch.

Some AP's (such as Zyxel Prestige 600) have totally broken ps-poll
functionality. When powersave is enabled, these AP's will set the TIM bit for
a STA in beacons, but when the STA responds with a ps-poll, the AP does not
respond with data.
The wl1271 firmware is able to send an indication to the host, when this
problem occurs. This patch adds implementation, which temporarily disables
power-save in response to this indication, allowing the AP to transmit whatever
data it has buffered for the STA / whatever data is inbound at that time.
This patch does not make these AP's work reliably in PSM, but improves the
chances of inbound data getting through.
The side effect of this patch is increased power consumption when using a
faulty AP.
