f3d4505de5 ath9k: remove eeprom txgain override for minor version < 19
ath9k_hw_4k_get_eeprom() overrides the eeprom value for txgain if the
minor version is not 19 or above with a value of 0.
ar9002_hw_init_mode_gain_regs() relies on this information to
determine whether this is a high power wifi card or not. The override
caused the driver to always use the 'normal' power tables even for
high power devices if their minor version was not high enough. Thus
leading to reduced power output.

This isn't needed for the AR9285; the check originated with the
AR9280 setup code which requires the EEPROM version check.

281ed297ff mac80211_hwsim: Fix RX status reporting for HT
RX_FLAG_HT must be included when reporting MCS rates. Without
this, mac80211 ended up dropping any frame sent at MCS index 12
or higher and that resulted in oddly random looking errors in
mac80211_hwsim tests.

abc1199411 rt2x00: Fix PCI interrupt processing race on SMP systems
When toggle_irq is called for PCI devices to disable device interrupts
it used tasklet_disable to wait for a possibly running tasklet to finish.
However, on SMP systems the tasklet might still be scheduled on another CPU.
Instead, use tasklet_kill to ensure that all scheduled tasklets are finished
before returning from toggle_irq.

Furthermore, it was possible that a tasklet reenabled its interrupt even
though interrupts have been disabled already. Fix this by checking the
DEVICE_STATE_ENABLED_RADIO flag before reenabling single interrupts
during tasklet processing.

While at it also enable/kill the TBTT and PRETBTT tasklets in the
toggle_irq callback and only use tasklet_kill in stop_queue to wait
for a currently scheduled beacon update before returning.

By doing this we can ensure that interrupts are never be
enabled in the middle of tasklet processing. Instead of
addressing corner cases like "ath9k: avoid enabling interrupts
while processing rx", this approach handles it in generic manner.

b037b69326 ath9k: do not enable interrupt on set interrupt mask
At preset set_interrupt also enables interrupt after changing
mask. This is not necessary in all cases and also sometime it
breaks the assumption that interrupt was disabled. So let us
enable the interrupt explicity if it was disabled earlier.
This could also avoid unnecessary register ops and also helps
the follow up patch to have global ref count for interrupts ops.

d2e7b3425c libertas: disable functionality when interface is down
Modify the driver so that it does not function when the interface is
down, in preparation for runtime power management.

No commands can be run while the interface is down, so the ndo_dev_stop
routine now directly does all necessary work (including asking the device
to disconnect from the network and disabling multicast functionality)
directly.

power_save and power_restore hooks are added meaning that card drivers
can take steps to turn the device off when the interface is down.

The MAC address can now only be changed when all interfaces are down;
the new address will be programmed when an interface gets brought up.
This matches mac80211 behaviour.

Also, some small cleanups/simplifications were made in the surrounding
device handling logic.

9aa603578f ath6kl: Fix crash during the connection process
Sometimes, the network manager is failing to connect to the AP due
to the below kernel crash message. The reason behind this,
after issuing the connect command to the chip, the chip is sending
disconnect event and then immediately one connect event to the host
in some random cases.

The host driver resets all states (including cfg80211 state machine)
when it receives disconnect event from the chip. But, still the host
driver reports the next received connect event to cfg80211, at that time
cfg80211 SME state would have been in IDLE state, which was causing
the below kernel crash.

Now, host driver's sme state machine is checked every time before
delivering connect event to cfg80211

But still the connection seems to work. To not clutter the logs change
the error message to a debug message. But add a fixme comment so that
this will be investigated.

f96efb5cb1 ath6kl: remove dependency to wireless extensions
ath6kl Kconfig still had dependencies to wext, remove those as they are
not needed anymore.

Now ath6kl should not have any wext code left. Time to have a beer and
celebrate this.

6fd1eacec1 ath6kl: fix crash when interface is closed but scan is ongoing
When ath6kl module was removed while a scan was ongoing the driver would
crash in ath6kl_cfg80211_scan_complete_event().

Fix the function not to iterate nodes when the scan is aborted. The nodes
are already freed when the module is being unloaded. This patch removes the
null check entirely as the wmi structure is not accessed anymore during
module unload.

Also fix a bug where the status was checked as a bitfield with '&' operator.
But it's not a bitfield, just a regular error code.

This is a port of my patch from ath6kl staging with the same title.

cf104c2a20 ath6kl: fix atomicity in ath6kl_cfg80211_scan_node()
ath6kl_cfg80211_scan_node() was calling cfg80211_inform_bss_frame()
with CFP_KERNEL but the function is executed with a spin lock taken.
This is wrong and the function must use GFP_ATOMIC instead.

b2c76bbe00 ath6kl: don't force foreground scan when connected
In my setup data transfer stalls when there's data transmission during
scan. After some testing I found out that using background scan
when connected to makes the problem go away. This is more like
a workaround than a proper fix, but as the stall is so severe the
workaround is justified.

With a dual band card this increases scan time when connected from
1.9s to 4.4s. When not connected the scan time is not affected and
is the same 1.9s.
