ca7966c88e iwlagn: implement synchronous firmware load
The current firmware loading mechanism in
iwlwifi is very hard to follow, and thus
hard to maintain. To make it easier, make
the firmware loading synchronous.

For now, as a side effect, this removes a
number of retry possibilities we had. It
isn't typical for this to fail, but if it
does happen we restart from scratch which
this also makes easier to do should it be
necessary.

0ed7b3c044 rt2x00: Implement get_antenna and set_antenna callback functions
Implement the get_antenna and set_antenna callback functions, which will
allow clients to control the antenna for all non-11n hardware (Antenna handling
in rt2800 is still a bit magical, so we can't use the set_antenna for those drivers
yet).

To best support the set_antenna callback some modifications are needed in the
diversity handling. We should never look at the default antenna settings to determine
if software diversity is enabled. Instead we should set the diversity flag when
possible, which will allow the link_tuner to automatically pick up the tuning.

e01ae27f8c rt2x00: Allow dynamic addition of PCI/USB IDs.
Both USB and PCI drivers allow a system administrator to dynamically add
USB/PCI IDs to the device table that a driver supports via the
/sys/bus/{usb,pci,pci_express}/drivers/<driver-name>/new_id files.

However, for the rt2x00 drivers using this method currently crashes the
system with a NULL pointer failure.

This is due to the set-up of rt2x00 where the probe functions require a
rt2x00_ops structure in the driver_info field of the probed device. As
this field is empty for the dynamically added devices this fails for
these devices.

Fix this by introducing driver-specific probe wrappers that do nothing
but calling the bus-specific probe functions with the rt2x00_ops structure
as an argument, rather than depending on the driver_info field.

152a599274 rt2x00: Decrease association time for USB devices
When powersaving is enabled, assocaition times are very high
(for WPA2 networks, the time can easily be around the 3 seconds).

This is caused, because the flushing of the queues takes
too much time. Without the flushing callback mac80211 assumes
a timeout of 100ms while scanning. Limit all flush waiting
loops to the same maximum.

We can apply this maximum by passing the drop status to the
driver, which makes sure the driver performs extra actions
during the waiting for the queue to become empty.

After these changes, association times fall within the
healthy range of ~0.6 seconds with powersaving enabled.
The difference between association time between powersaving
enabled and disabled is now only ~0.1 second (which can also
be due to the measuring method).

f0187a1987 rt2800usb: add timer to handle TX_STA_FIFO
TX status is reported by the hardware when a packet has been
sent (or after TX failed after possible retries), which is some
time after the DMA completion.  Since the rt2800usb hardware can
not signal interrupts we have to use a timer, otherwise the
TX status would only be read by the next packet's TX DMA
completion, or by the watchdog thread.

0e0d39e5f3 rt2800usb: read TX_STA_FIFO asynchronously
Trying to fix the "TX status report missed" warnings
by reading the TX_STA_FIFO entries as quickly as possible.
The TX_STA_FIFO is too small in hardware, thus reading
it only from the workqueue is too slow and entries get lost.

Start an asynchronous read of the TX_STA_FIFO directly from
the TX URB completion callback (atomic context, thus it cannot
use the blocking rt2800_register_read()). If the async
read returns a valid FIFO entry, it is pushed into a larger
FIFO inside struct rt2x00_dev, until rt2800_txdone() picks
it up.

A .tx_dma_done callback is added to struct rt2x00lib_ops
to trigger the async read from the URB completion callback.

7dab73b37f rt2x00: Split rt2x00dev->flags
The number of flags defined for the rt2x00dev->flags field,
has been growing over the years. Currently we are approaching
the maximum number of bits which are available in the field.

A secondary problem, is that one part of the field are initialized only
during boot, because the driver requirements are initialized or device
requirements are loaded from the EEPROM. In both cases, the flags are
fixed and will not change during device operation. The other flags are
the device state, and will change frequently. So far this resulted in the fact
that for some flags, the atomic bit accessors are used, while for the others
the non-atomic variants are used.

By splitting the flags up into a "flags" and "cap_flags" we can put all flags
which are fixed inside "cap_flags". This field can then be read non-atomically.
In the "flags" field we keep the device state, which is going to be read atomically.

This adds more room for more flags in the future, and sanitizes the field access methods.

This patch adds WLAN LED support to the mac80211 rt2x00 driver for
Ralink SoC (rt305x) devices.  The current WLAN LED drivers in
rt2800lib.c set the LED brightness via an MCU request, but do nothing
for SoC.  This patch checks for SoC and sets the register to enable the
WLAN LED (instead of an MCU request).  This enables the WLAN LED for
RT305x devices.

93ae2dd223 ath9k: assign keycache slots to unencrypted stations
Frame filtering relies on having a valid destination index (keycache slot),
to keep track of the destination. Assigning a keycache slot (configured
to unencrypted, with no key data attached) improves powersave handling in
AP mode with no encryption.
The dummy keycache entry for a station is cleared, when a real key gets
added.

5519541d5a ath9k: fix powersave frame filtering/buffering in AP mode
This patch fixes a long standing issue of pending packets in the queue being
sent (and retransmitted many times) to sleeping stations.
This was made worse by aggregation through driver-internal retransmitting
of A-MDPU subframes.
Previously the hardware tx filter was cleared unconditionally for every
single packet - with this patch it uses the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT
for unaggregated frames.
A sta_notify driver op is added to stop aggregation for stations when they
enter powersave mode. Subframes stay buffered inside the driver, to ensure
that the BlockAck window keeps a sane state.
Since the driver uses software aggregation, the clearing of the tx filter
needs to be handled by the driver instead of mac80211 for aggregated frames.

8e22ad323f ath9k: Fix beacon generation on foreign channel
While leaving the oper channel, beacon generation is stopped
by mac80211 and beacon slots are marked as inactive.
During the scan, ath9k configures beacon timers
based on IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL which inturn generates
beacon alert even though bslot is inactive.

ath9k fails to disable beacon alert while moving to offchannel
if none of the beacon slot is active. This is causing beacon
transmission on foreign channel. This patch enables swba
based on active bslots.

This issue was reported with two vifs (AP+STA) and triggered
scan in STA vif in unassociated state.
