Christian Lamparter 9b9c5aaeed ar9170: xmit code revamp
This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code.

In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs.
However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for
pending data frames.

This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g.
We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different
in the mean time. But - as you guessed it -  this simple approach
stands in way for a decent aggregation implementation.

Christian Lamparter 66d008139c ar9170usb: more minor fixes
This patch contains a few more mostly random fixes for the USB front-end.

1. handle irq command response, instead of printing it to the console.

2. remove fixed FIXME.
    (real fix: "ar9170usb: reset device on resume". )

3. some more one-liner.
	- get rid of a useless "return;"
	- add a few branch prediction hints in hot-paths
	etc.

Christian Lamparter b55d6bcf9b ar9170: fix lockdep warning on hibernate
This patch takes care of Johannes' deadlock report by moving the
mutex_lock right after cancel_work_sync in ar9170_op_stop.

Besides, the janitor does not need to hold the mutex anymore,
so this extra lines can be removed as well.

Christian Lamparter 864cc02e7c ar9170: use bitop macros for tx filter flags
This patch fixes a bug in configure_filter's (sub-)routines.
We never really cleared the flags once we updated the hardware state,
so we wasted our resources by applying already active settings.

Zhu Yi e31a16d6f6 wireless: move some utility functions from mac80211 to cfg80211
The patch moves some utility functions from mac80211 to cfg80211.
Because these functions are doing generic 802.11 operations so they
are not mac80211 specific. The moving allows some fullmac drivers
to be also benefit from these utility functions.

Christian Lamparter 083c4687bc ar9170: handle otus' A-MPDU density definitions
Otus uses slightly different set of "Minimum MPDU Start Spacing" values
than the 802.11n D2.0 specifies. (the whole table is shifted by one and
therefore the 16us spacing is not officially available!)

And while we're at it, we also initialize our MAC's density register.
So, this annoying _feature_ will not break TX A-MPDU later.

Johannes Berg 2d0ddec5b2 mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changed
The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the
BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most
other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes
config_interface and rolls all the information it previously
passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.

Johannes Berg 57c4d7b4c4 mac80211: clean up beacon interval settings
We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.

This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.

NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
      to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
      drivers, some are updated in this patch.

Johannes Berg 9e52b0623c ar9170: support HT receive and channel config
This patch adds support for configuring HT40 channels
and receiving HT40 to ar9170. Receiving aggregation
doesn't seem to work right now, so it's not enabled.
Same goes for TX aggregation, but that probably needs
even more work.

With this, I can receive roughly 33 Mbits/sec.

The HT capabilities are a little odd, I tried following
otus here -- in particular having SGI_40 but not SGI_20
is a little weird but afaict that's what otus does.

Luis R. Rodriguez 85efc86eb7 atheros: fix propagation of bad EEPROM on regulatory init
When the EEPROM is not in good condition we cannot continue so
we currently bail out but only ath5k is bailing out properly.
Both ath9k and ar9170 were proceeding and if a user were to run
into this they'd see an obscure panic. Lets propagate the error
as intended and make sure we inform the user by lifting the
error message from debug to a kernel error.
