278fc73c0c iwlwifi: move agn specific rx related code to iwl-agn-rx.c
To avoid having unnecessary functions in iwlcore.ko, those that
are not shared by agn and 3945, move agn specific rx related code
to iwl-agn-rx.c.

09034cb77e iwlwifi: return ucode errors from station management
When station management calls to ucode return
an error we could previously do nothing, but
now that almost all calls are synchronous we
can actually let the error bubble up. Use EIO
as the error as it best indicates a problem
with the device.

e666674eec iwlwifi: use sync commands for keys
Key management can use sync commands

4620fefa59 iwlagn: use mutex for aggregation
Now that the ampdu_action callback can sleep,
we can use the mutex to properly protect the
aggregation data, and return useful errors if
they should happen.

Also, add some sleep and mutex debugging so
we won't call any of the functions that now
require being able to sleep and/or the mutex
to be held in an invalid context.

543708be32 mac80211: fix sw scan bracketing
Currently, detection in hwsim and ath9k can
detect that two sw scans are in flight at the
same time, which isn't really true. It is
caused by a race condition, because the scan
complete callback is called too late, after
the lock has been dropped, so that a new scan
can be started before it is called.

It is also called too early semantically, as
it is currently called _after_ the return to
the operating channel -- it should be before
so that drivers know this is the operating
channel again.

ath5k assumes ah_current_channel is always a valid pointer in

Reviewed RX descriptor functions against the HAL sources. Some minor changes:

  - check size before making changes to the descriptor

  - whitespace

  - add comments about 5210 timestamps. this needs to be adressed later!

  - FIFO overrun error only available on 5210

  - rs_phyerr should not be OR'ed

  - clear the whole ath5k_rx_status structure before using, instead of
    zeroing specific fields.

04f1e34d3c rt2x00: Enable HW crypto by default
Hardware cryptography seems to be working
on a 11G network with WPA/WPA2 cryptography
enabled. WEP still needs to be tested...

e6474c3c6d rt2x00: Limit TX done looping to number of TX ring entries
Similar to rt2800pci, remove the check for duplicate
register reading, and instead limit the for-loop to
the maximum number of TX entries inside a queue.

e1b4d7b735 rt2x00: Enable fallback rates for rt61pci and rt73usb
Explicitly enable the usage of fallback rates for
the transmission of frames with rt61pci and rt73usb hardware.

Note that for txdone reporting, only rt61pci is capable of
reporting the fallback rates, for USB it is not possible
to determine the number of retries. However the device will
use the fallback rates, so it might still help in the performance.

3d2bc1036a rt2x00: Fix tx status reporting when falling back to the lowest rate
In some corner cases the reported tx rates/retries didn't match the really
used ones.

The hardware lowers the tx rate on each consecutive retry by 1 (but won't
fall back from MCS to legacy rates) _until_ it reaches the lowest one.

In case the frame wasn't sent succesful the number of retries is 7 and if
a rate index <7 was used the previous code reported negative rate indexes
which were then ignored by the rate control algorithm and mac80211.

Instead, report the remaining number of retries to have happened with
the lowest rate (index 0). This should give the rate control algorithm
slightly more accurate information about the used tx rates/retries.

3f2bee2499 rt2x00: provide mac80211 a suitable max_rates value
Set up max_rates and max_rate_tries with suitable values even if we do not
support the whole functionality.

As rt2800 has a global fallback table we cannot specify more then one tx rate
per frame but since the hw will try several different rates (based on the
fallback table) we should still initialize max_rates to the maximum number of
rates we are going to try. Otherwise mac80211 will truncate our reported tx
rates and the rc algortihm will end up with incorrect data choosing unsuitable
rates for tx.

This improves throughput on rt2800 devices considerable.

3afa626a05 rt2x00: Fix TX_STA_FIFO handling
Currently rt2800pci will read TX_STA_FIFO until the previously read value
matches the current value. However, it is obvious that TX_STA_FIFO only
contains values that can easily be the same for multiple consecutive frames
(especially when communicating with only one other STA). Hence, we often
ended up with reading only the first entry and ignoring the rest.

One result was that when the TX_STA_FIFO contained multiple entires, only
the first one was read and properly handled while the others remained in the
tx queue.

Thus, drop this check but introduce a maximum number of reads. All legacy
drivers use the size of the tx ring as limit but state that the TX_STA_FIFO
has only 16 entries. So, let's just stick with the tx ring size for now.

IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES indicates that more frames are queued for tx
but has nothing to do with fragmentation. Hence, don't set ENTRY_TXD_MORE_FRAG
but only ENTRY_TXD_BURST to not kick the tx queues immediately.

ecb7cab59a rt2x00: only set TXDONE_FALLBACK in rt2800pci if the frame was retried
TXDONE_FALLBACK expresses that fallback rates were used for retries. Hence,
it only makes sense to set the flag if retries > 0.
