Usually H/W generate statistics notify once per about 100ms, but
sometimes we can receive notify in shorter time, even 2 ms.
This can be problem for plcp health and ack health checking.
I.e. with 2 plcp errors happens randomly in 2 ms duration, we
exceed plcp delta threshold equal to 100 (2*100/2).
Also checking ack's in short time, can results not necessary false
positive and firmware reset, for example when channel is noised and
we do not receive ACKs frames or when remote device does not send
ACKs at the moment.
Patch change code to do statistic check and possible recovery only
if 99ms elapsed from last check. Forced delay should assure we have
good statistic data to estimate hardware state.

When setting up multiple BSSIDs in AP mode on an rt2800pci device we
previously used the STAs AID to select an appropriate key slot. But
since the AID is per VIF we can end up with two STAs having the same AID
and thus using the same key index. This resulted in one STA overwriting
the key information of another STA.
Fix this by simply searching for the next unused entry in the pairwise
key table.
Also bring the key table init in sync with deleting keys by initializing
the key table entries to 0 instead of 1.

The interrupt of the wl12xx is a level interrupt in nature, since the
interrupt line is not auto-reset. However, since resetting the interrupt
requires bus transactions, this cannot be done from an interrupt
context. Thus, requesting a level interrupt would require to disable the
irq and re-enable it after the HW is acknowledged. Since we now request
a threaded irq, this can also be done by specifying the IRQF_ONESHOT
flag.
Triggering on an edge can be problematic in some platforms, if the
sampling frequency is not sufficient for detecting very frequent
interrupts. In case an interrupt is missed, the driver will hang as the
interrupt line will stay high until it is acknowledged by the driver,
which will never happen.
Fix this by requesting a level triggered interrupt, with the
IRQF_ONESHOT flag.

To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to
interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up
a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more
efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler. This
handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as
SDIO/SPI transactions.
Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs
(ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a
different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O
responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be
scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance.
The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was
changed. For simplicity, always query the FW for more pending
interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the
extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables
registering the IRQ handler with the ONESHOT option.

The SDIO bus is claimed and released for each SDIO transaction. In
addition to the few CPU cycles it takes to claim and release the bus, it
may also cause undesired side effects such as the MMC host stopping its
internal clocks.
Since only the wl12xx_sdio driver drives this SDIO card, it is safe to
claim the SDIO host once (on power on), and release it only when turning
the power off.
This patch was inspired by Juuso Oikarinen's (juuso.oikarinen@nokia.com)

On newer hardware revisions, there is no need to write the host's
counter at the end of a RX transaction. The same applies to writing the
number of packets at the end of a TX transaction.
It is generally a good idea to avoid unnecessary SDIO/SPI transfers.
Throughput and CPU usage are improved when avoiding these.
Send the host's RX counter and the TX packet count only if needed, based
on the hardware revision.

The FW has a limited amount of memory for holding frames. In case it
runs out of memory reserved for RX frames, it'll have no other choice
but to drop packets received from the AP. Thus, it is important to
handle RX data interrupts as soon as possible, before handling anything
else.
In addition, since there are enough TX descriptors to go around, it is
better to first send TX frames, and only then handle TX completions.
Fix this by changing the order of function calls in wl1271_irq_work.
