Currently vgc_level_reg and vgc_level are equal to eachother,
while the purpose of vgc_level_reg is the value last written
to the register and is remembered through link tuning resets.
The vgc_level is the currently active level, which is
reset during link tuning resets.
The usage of these variables depends on the drivers, some drivers
need both, while others need only one of the two.

While scanning the link tuner must be disabled. Otherwise
it will interfere with receiving all beacons for each channel
due to changing sensitivity levels.

Rename CONFIG_DISABLE_LINK_TUNING to DRIVER_SUPPORT_LINK_TUNING
Link tuning support is not only based on EEPROM decisions, but
also if the device actually supports it.
Currently only rt2500usb doesn't support link tuning because
of hardware problems. But rt2800usb is also suspected of having
problems with link tuning.

Since the link tuning is based on average RSSI values taken from all received
frames it doesn't make sense to enable it in AP mode where every associated
station provides independent RSSI values. Furthermore the legacy drivers
don't enable link tuning in AP mode as well.

As mentioned on the linux-wireless mailing list, the current copyright
statements in the rt2x00 are meaningless, as the rt2x00 project is
not even a formal legal entity. Therefore it is better to replace
the existing copyright statements with copyright statements for the
people that actually wrote the code.
Note: Updated to the best of my knowledge with respect to who
contributed considerable amounts of code.

Small changes in signal level was not detected up by the
MOVING_AVERAGE() due to a rounding error, using 'int' type.
rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity_eval:
rssi: -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62
rssi_avg: -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57
The signal level reported back could be significantly (5dBm)
different from the actual value. A level +3dBm is the same as
double the AP output power.

Antanna quality statistics is not handled correctly, which leads to
software diversity being shutdown completly.
The main problem is that during antenna diversity statistics can
be reset resulting in loosing the signal strength just before
evaluation.
rssi history is not updated correctly leading to incorrect comparison
material for basing antenna switching on.

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

rt2x00dev->default_ant should be initialized once by the driver,
and should not be changed afterwards. Because rt2x00lib_config_antenna()
was using a reference to the struct antenna_setup it actually had the oppurtunity
to change the default antenna setting and it actually did that during the validation.
Instead of passing a pointer to antenna_setup the entire structure should be copied.

Software antenna tuning is broken because of an function
ordering problem during rt2x00link_tuner().
rt2x00link_precalculate_signal()
rt2x00leds_led_quality()
rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity()
rt2x00link_precalculate_signal() will reset the quality TX/RX counters,
however rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() requires the RX counter to
see what RSSI value must be used for a particular antenna.
We can't change the ordering since rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() might
reset other statistics which are needed by the function called earlier.
Move the reset of the quality TX/RX counters into a seperate function
and move the call to after rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity().

Restrict drivers to only access link_qual structure during
link tuning. The contents of these fields are for the drivers
and all fields are allowed to be changed to values the driver
considers correct.
This means that some fields need to be moved outside of this
structure to restrict access only to rt2x00link itself.
This allows some code to be moved outside of the rt2x00.h header
and into rt2x00link.c.
