We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment
and the radio is out of tune. There are lot of plcp errors indicating
this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the
Access Point. By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are
reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise.
To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication,
- The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on
the statistics notification from the uCode.
- It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via
the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.

This switches the iwlwifi driver to use paged skb from linear skb for Rx
buffer. So that it relieves some Rx buffer allocation pressure for the
memory subsystem. Currently iwlwifi (4K for 3945) requests 8K bytes for
Rx buffer. Due to the trailing skb_shared_info in the skb->data,
alloc_skb() will do the next order allocation, which is 16K bytes. This
is suboptimal and more likely to fail when the system is under memory
usage pressure. Switching to paged Rx skb lets us allocate the RXB
directly by alloc_pages(), so that only order 1 allocation is required.
It also adjusts the area spin_lock (with IRQ disabled) protected in the
tasklet because tasklet guarentees to run only on one CPU and the new
unprotected code can be preempted by the IRQ handler. This saves us from
spawning another workqueue to make skb_linearize/__pskb_pull_tail happy
(which cannot be called in hard irq context).
Finally, mac80211 doesn't support paged Rx yet. So we linearize the skb
for all the management frames and software decryption or defragmentation
required data frames before handed to mac80211. For all the other frames,
we __pskb_pull_tail 64 bytes in the linear area of the skb for mac80211
to handle them properly.

The iwlwifi drivers have LED blinking requirements that
mac80211 cannot fulfill due to the use of just a single
LED instead of different ones for TX, RX, radio etc.
Instead, the single LED blinks according to transfers
and is solid on the rest of the time. As such, having
LED class devices registered that mac80211 triggers are
connected to is pointless as we don't use the triggers
anyway.
Remove all the useless code and add hooks into the
driver itself. At the same time, make the LED code
abstracted so the core code that determines blink rate
etc. can be shared between 3945 and agn in iwlcore.
At the same time, the fact that we removed the use of
the mac80211 LED triggers means we can also remove the
IWLWIFI_LEDS Kconfig symbol since the LED support is
now self-contained.

The field called 'len' in struct iwl_rx_packet is in fact not just a length
field but also includes some flags from the flow handler. In several places
throughout the driver, this causes incorrect values to be interpreted as
lengths when the field is improperly masked.
In most situations the improper use is for debugging output, and simply results
in an erroneous message, such as:
[551933.070224] ieee80211 phy0: I iwl_rx_statistics Statistics notification received (480 vs -1367342620).
which should read '(480 vs 484)'.
In at least one case this could case bad things to happen:
void iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif(struct iwl_priv *priv,
struct iwl_rx_mem_buffer *rxb)
{
struct iwl_rx_packet *pkt = (struct iwl_rx_packet *)rxb->skb->data;
IWL_DEBUG_RADIO(priv, "Dumping %d bytes of unhandled "
"notification for %s:\n",
le32_to_cpu(pkt->len), get_cmd_string(pkt->hdr.cmd));
iwl_print_hex_dump(priv, IWL_DL_RADIO, pkt->u.raw, le32_to_cpu(pkt->len)
);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(iwl_rx_pm_debug_statistics_notif);
Given the rampant misuse of this field without proper masking throughout the
driver (every use but one), this patch renames the field from 'len' to
'len_n_flags' to reduce confusion. It also adds the proper masking when
this field is used as a length value.

Thermal Throttling feature is used to put NIC into low power state when

Two Thermal Throttling Management Methods; this patch introduce the
Legacy Thermal Management:
IWL_TI_0: normal temperature, system power state
IWL_TI_1: high temperature detect, low power state
IWL_TI_2: higher temperature detected, lower power state
IWL_TI_CT_KILL: critical temperature detected, lowest power state
Once get into CT_KILL state, uCode go into sleep, driver will stop all
the active queues, then move to IWL_TI_CT_KILL state; also set up 5
seconds timer to toggle CSR flag, uCode wake up upon CSR flag change,
then measure the temperature.
If temperature is above CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode go backto sleep;
if temperature is below CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode send Card State
Notification response with appropriate CT_KILL status flag, and uCode
remain awake, Driver receive Card State Notification Response and update
the card temperature to the CT_KILL exit threshold.
