74415edb04 rt2x00: Add RXDONE_CRYPTO_IV/ICV flags
Drivers should notify rt2x00lib when they provide
the IV/ICV data. This adds some flexibility to drivers
which can't provide all information.
	* rt2500usb provides ICV inside the frame
	* rt2800pci doesn't provide IV/ICV
	* rt2800usb doesn't provide IV/ICV

f1ca2167d8 rt2x00: Detect USB BULK in/out endpoints
Instead of hardcoding the used in/out endpoints
we should detect them by walking through all
available endpoints.

rt2800usb will gain the most out of this, because
the legacy drivers indicate that there are multiple
endpoints available.
However this code might benefit at least rt73usb as
well for the MIMO queues, and if we are really lucky
rt2500usb will benefit because for the TX and PRIO
queues.

Even if rt2500usb and rt73usb do not get better performance
after this patch, the endpoint detection still belongs to
rt2x00usb, and it shouldn't hurt to always try to detect
the available endpoints.

c9c3b1a5de rt2x00: Cleanup indirect register access
All code which accessed indirect registers was similar
in respect to the for-loop, the given timeout, etc.
Move it into a seperate function, which for PCI drivers
can be moved into rt2x00pci.

This allows us to cleanup the cleanup the code further
by removing the goto statementsand making the codepath

8ff48a8bbe rt2x00: Fix race condition when using inderect registers
Indirect registers require multiple calls to the CSR
register in order to access the indirect registers.
This must be protected under a lock to prevent race
conditions which could cause invalid data to
be returned when reading from the indirect register or silent
failures when writing data to the indirect register.

USB drivers where already protected under a mutex,
so rename the mutex and make PCI drivers use the mutex
as well.
This now means that BBP and RF registers are no longer
accessible in interrupt context. That is not a bad
situation since the slow behavior of accessing
those registers means we don't _want_ to access them
in interrupt context either.

bad13639a3 rt2x00: Optimize get_duration / get_duration_res
We can optimize get_duration and get_duration_res
by making them a macro. They are really simple
calculation handlers so this doesn't matter much.

Often (especially in rt2400pci and rt2500pci,
the arguments are hardcoded, and the result value
is passed into other hardcoded values.

By making the functions a macro GCC can
optimize the entire thing much better.

rt2x00pci contained "fake" FIELD definitions for

assumes the driver will always have the same field

This should be dependent on the driver, and we

0262ab0df6 rt2x00: Fix race conditions in flag handling
Some of the flags should be accessed atomically to
prevent race conditions. The flags that are most important
are those that can change often and indicate the actual
state of the device, queue or queue entry.

The big flag rename was done to move all state flags to
the same naming type as the other rt2x00dev flags and
made sure all places where the flags were used were changed. ;)

Thanks to Stephen for most of the queue flags updates,
which fixes some of the most obvious consequences of the
race conditions. Among those the notorious:

rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0.

This patch undoes the damage by adding the Tx descriptor length

In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way

it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

61448f8807 rt2x00: Fix queue related oops in case of deselected mac80211 multi-queue feature.
With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.

The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.

Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
inside a mac80211 structure.

61486e0f68 rt2x00: Remove ieee80211_tx_control argument from write_tx_desc()
Move the last remaining information details read from ieee80211_tx_control
in the drivers to the txentry_desc structure. After this we can
remove ieee80211_tx_control from the argument list for the callback function,
which makes it easier when the control information is moved into skb->cb

566bfe5a8b mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

e58c6aca99 rt2x00: Use rt2x00 queue numbering
Use the rt2x00 queue enumeration as much as possible,
removing the usage of the mac80211 queue numbering
wherever it is possible.

This makes it easier for mac80211 to change it queue
identification scheme without having to deal with
big changes in the rt2x00 code.

61c2b682b8 rt2x00: Fix quality/activity led handling
There was an obvious typo in LED structure
initialization which caused the radio and quality/activity
leds to be incorrectly initialized which resulted in
the leds not being enabled.

Additionally add the rt2x00led_led_activity() handler
that will enable TX/RX activity leds when the radio
is being enabled.

a2e1d52a32 rt2x00: Remove MAC80211_LEDS dependency
Implement triggers inside rt2x00 itself based
on input from mac80211. This replaces the method
of using the mac80211 trigger events which do
not work for USB drivers due to the scheduling
requirement.

After this patch RT2500USB_LEDS and RT73USB_LEDS
no longer need to be tagged as broken since they
now support LED handling again without having to
check for in_atomic().

e0b005fa14 rt2x00: TO_DS filter depends on intf_ap_count
The TO_DS filter does not only depend on the FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS flag
provided by mac80211, but also on the intf_ap_count count.
This makes sense, since when Master mode is active, we should all frames
that are send to the active AP (the device itself).

This means that when an interface is added we should force the
packet filter to be updated during the next mac80211 call of
configure_filter() to make sure the intf_ap_count field is checked.
