Daniel Drake 86d95c2143 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Allow channels 1-11 for unrecognised regulatory domains
Zen Kato's device has a regulatory domain value of 0x49, which is not an
IEEE 802.11 code and is not even identified in the vendor driver.

Recent versions of the vendor driver don't even look at the regdomain
value any more, and just allow channels 1-11 everywhere. This patch
brings us more in line with that behaviour, by allowing channels 1-11
for regdomains which we don't know about.

Daniel Drake aaf83d4fc4 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Make CCK gain patching conditional on RF type
The vendor driver code suggests that CR47 patching happens on every channel
change for every RF (depending on bit 8 in POD).

Due to a bug in their driver (upper bits of RF_Mode get zeroed out, then
are examined for 1s when setting some other flags), this isn't actually
what happens, and their generic CCK patching routine never takes effect.

Some of their RF configurations do include explicit (duplicated) code
for CR47 patching though. This patch makes zd1211rw match that
behaviour.

Daniel Drake 4481d6093e [PATCH] zd1211rw: Add UW2453 RF support
This patch adds support for another radio appearing in new devices: the
Ubec UW2453. It's more complicated than the other RF's we support, but
Ubec publish full tech specs so we're able to understand the vendor code
relatively well.

Now that we support UW2453, we also support Atheros' new USB chip: the
AR5007UG. From the little info we have, this appears to be just a
rebranded ZD1211B.

This RF code doesn't work very well -- lots more TX/RX errors than the
other RFs. However, the vendor driver doesn't do any better, so this is
all we can do for now.

Due to conflicting/confusing defines in the vendor driver, we were
reading E2P_PHY_REG from the wrong location.

CR157 patching was slightly incorrect in that the vendor driver only
patches in an 8-bit value, whereas we were patching 24 bits.

Additionally, CR157 patching was happening on both zd1211 and zd1211b,
but this should only happen on zd1211.

Daniel Drake 0ce34bc8f7 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Remove addressing abstraction
Instead of passing our own custom 32-bit addresses around and
translating them, this patch makes all our register address constants
absolute and removes the translation.

There are two ugly parts:
 - fw_reg_addr() is needed to compute addresses of firmware registers, as this
   is dynamic based upon firmware
 - inc_addr() needs a small hack to handle byte vs word addressing

However, both of those are only small, and we don't use fw_regs a whole
lot anyway.

The bonuses here include simplicity and improved driver readability. Also, the
fact that registers are now referenced by 16-bit absolute addresses (as
opposed to 32-bit pseudo addresses) means that over 2kb compiled code size has
been shaved off.

Includes some touchups and sparse fixes from Ulrich Kunitz.

Daniel Drake ee30276774 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Consistency for address space constants
The zd1211rw address space has confused me once too many times. This
patch introduces the following naming notation:

Memory space is split into segments (cr, fw, eeprom) and segments may
contain components (e.g. boot code inside eeprom). These names are
arbitrary and only for the description below:

x_START: Absolute address of segment start
(previously these were named such as CR_BASE_OFFSET, but they weren't
really offsets unless you were considering them as an offset to 0)

x_LEN: Segment length

x_y_LEN: Length of component y of segment x

x_y_OFFSET: Relative address of component y into segment x. The absolute
address for this component is (x_START + x_y_OFFSET)

I also renamed EEPROM registers to EEPROM data. These 'registers' can't
be written to using standard I/O and really represent predefined data
from the vendor.

Daniel Drake 84bc715c46 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Remove IW_FREQ_AUTO support
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7399

zd1211rw's support for IW_FREQ_AUTO is broken: when specified, the driver
tries to change to a channel specified in an uninitialized integer. As
IW_FREQ_AUTO is hard to implement properly, the solution (at least for now)
is to drop support for it and start ignoring the flags like all other wireless
drivers do.

This has the added advantage that kismet also starts working with zd1211rw,
even though kismet requesting IW_FREQ_AUTO is also a bug (fixed in their svn)

David Howells 7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

The link LED will blink if the device is not associated. The LED
switches between 2 seconds on and 1 second off. If the device is
associated the LED is switched on.

The link LED also indicates packet TX. I do a little bit more led
resetting than the vendor driver, but the device works now as
expected for single LED and double LED devices.

A new macro ZD_MEMCLEAR is introduced, which produces code if
DEBUG is set. Locks are not set anymore for structure clearing,
but in debug mode, there is a verification, that the locks have
not been set.

Finally, removed a misleading comment regarding locking in the disconnect

Ulrich Kunitz 99f65f25c1 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Fixes radiotap header
There has been a problem in the radiotap header. Monitor mode
works now with tcpdump 3.94 + libpcap 0.9.4. ethereal 0.99.0 +
libpcap 0.9.4 is broken, because it doesn't find the right offset
for the IEEE 802.11 header.

Daniel Drake b312d799b3 [PATCH] zd1211rw: usb_clear_halt not allowed in IRQ context
We will reimplement halt-clearing later, when we have periodic
housekeeping routines in place. This will do as a temporary fix, the
EPIPE case has not yet been seen.

Daniel Drake e85d0918b5 [PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driver
There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS
ZD1211 chip.

Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most
data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits
alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver
currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed
products which we will be supporting soon.

Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The
initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.

This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.

This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!

We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite

If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).
