The ISL3887 chip needs a USB reset, whenever the
usb-frontend module "p54usb" is reloaded.
This patch fixes an off-by-one bug, if the user
is running a kernel without the CONFIG_PM option
set and for some reason (e.g.: compat-wireless)
wants to switch between different p54usb modules.

The TX_STA_FIFO register which is used for per-frame TX frame
status reporting is also valid on rt2800usb. We can move the
rt2800pci_txdone function into rt2800lib where it can also
be used by rt2800usb.
rt2800usb needs to overwrite the txdone work handler to
a different function.
Both rt2800usb as rt2800_txdone need to take into account
that IO failures can occur while uploading the URB, which

The only reason why the write_tx_data callback function
is needed inside the driver, is because the location of
the TXWI descriptor is different on PCI and USB hardware.
Except for the beacon, where the TXWI is always at the
start of the SKB buffer.
In both cases the drivers write_tx_data function only
wrap around the function rt2800_write_txwi. Move write_tx_data
completely into the rt2800lib library, and add a callback
function to obtain the TXWI pointer.

Move all TX and RX completion handling into a work structure,
which is handeled on the mac80211 workqueue. This simplifies
the code in rt2x00lib since it no longer needs to check if the
device is USB or PCI to decide which mac80211 function should be used.
In the watchdog some changes are needed since it can no longer rely
on the TX completion function to be run while looping through the
entries. (Both functions now work on the same workqueue, so this
would deadlock). So the watchdog now waits for the URB to return,
and handle the TX status report directly.
As a side-effect, the debugfs entry for the RX queue now correctly
displays the positions of the INDEX and INDEX_DONE counters. This
also implies that it is not possible to perform checks like queue_empty()
and queue_full() on the RX queue.

When the noise floor limits are being bypassed because of strong
interference, sensitivity is also reduced.
In order to recover from this as quickly as possible, trigger a
long periodic calibration every second instead of every 30 seconds,
until the NF median is within limits again. This is especially important
if the interference lasts for a while, since it takes multiple clean
NF calibrations to bring the median back to normal.

When beacons get stuck in AP mode, the most likely cause is interference.
Such interference can often go on for a while, and too many consecutive
beacon misses can lead to connected clients getting dropped.
Since connected clients might not be subjected to the same interference
if that happens to be very local, the AP should try to deal with it as
good as it can. One way to do this is to trigger an NF calibration with
automatic baseband update right after the beacon miss. In my tests with
very strong interference, this allowed the AP to continue transmitting
beacons after only 2-3 misses, which allows a normal client to stay
connected.
With some of the newer - really sensitive - chips, the maximum noise
floor limit is very low, which can be problematic during very strong
interference. To avoid an endless loop of stuck beacons -> nfcal ->
periodic calibration -> stuck beacons, the beacon miss event also sets
a flag, which allows the calibration code to bypass the chip specific
maximum NF value. This flag is automatically cleared, as soon as the
first NF median goes back below the limits for all chains.
In my tests, this allowed an ath9k AP to survive very strong interference
(measured NF: -68, or sometimes even higher) without losing connectivity
to its clients. Even under these conditions, I was able to transmit
several mbits/s through the interface.

Stuck beacons are a useful indicator for debugging various PHY
issues such as calibration. Putting them on the same debug level
as the other beacon stuff makes it hard to spot them in huge amounts
of spam.

Only the IBSS manager, ie. the station that sent
the IBSS beacon last, should be replying to probe
responses. This requires implementing the mac80211
tx_last_beacon callback, which we can do thanks to
the ucode beacon notification.

This function was exiting early if the existing diversity settings
were unchanged. Unfortunately, in some cases the antenna configuration
is not initialized at all.

...and unregistration to core shutdown. Previously, the driver
remained registered even when the hardware was shutdown. That
causes the driver to return -ENODEV if the b43 device is IFF_DOWN.
This change causes the driver to disappear in that case, allowing
/dev/hwrng to still function if another hwrng device is available.

This is, of course, because the value of WIFI_IF_NTFY_MAX is 0xff and
hdr->oid is a u8. This is obviously an attempt to verify the range on
an input value, but since it has no effect it can simply be removed.
