34a5b4b6af iwlwifi: do not re-configure
HT40 after associated
Fix the case of HT40 after association on specified AP, but it break the
association for some APs and cause not able to establish connection.
We need to address HT40 before and after addociation.

When a station is associated with an AP and the RF_KILL switch is engaged,
numerous error messages were sent to the system log. The error messages
were the result of the failure(s) of the various submodules to perform
their tasks after the radios were disabled.
To resolve this situation, the messages were modified to use a new macro,
IWL_DEBUG_QUIET_RFKILL. This macro allows for the RF_KILL error messages
to be sent to the log provided that IWL_DEBUG is true and IWL_DL_RADIO
is '1'. For all other cases, the error messages resulting from an RFKILL
event will not be sent to the system log. Messages logged because of an
RFKILL will be tagged with the prefix '(RFKILL)' to clarify the cause of
the error.

GO we're trying to authenticate/associate with,
it needs to have a station entry and the BSSID in

Remove iwl_transport_register which was a W/A. The bus layer knows what
transport to use. So now, the bus layer gives the upper layer a pointer to the
iwl_trans_ops struct that it wants to use. The upper layer then, allocates the
desired transport layer using iwl_trans_ops->alloc function.
As a result of this, priv->trans, no longer exists, priv holds a pointer to
iwl_shared, which holds a pointer to iwl_trans. This required to change all the
calls to the transport layer from upper layer. While we were at it, trans_X
inlines have been renamed to iwl_trans_X to avoid confusions, which of course
required to rename the functions inside the transport layer because of
conflicts in names. So the static API functions inside the transport layer
implementation have been renamed to iwl_trans_pcie_X.
Until now, the IRQ / Tasklet were initialized in iwl_transport_layer. This is
confusing since the registration doesn't mean to request IRQ, so I added a
handler for that.

Sometimes, when mac80211 changes the beacon
interval or when it isn't yet set in mac80211
before association, the uCode will sysassert
because we send it confusing RXON timing vs.
PAN parameters. To fix this, track the last
beacon interval sent to the device and use
that in PAN parameter calculations.

WiFi throughput drops drastically when BT is turned on, BT and WiFi
are simultaneously transmitting/receiving traffic. This is particularly true
when BT has higher priority over WiFi, and hence the device defers TX frames.
The AP assumes that the channel is bad and reduces the data rate, implying
longer airtime, which exacerbates the problem further, resulting ultimately
in what is popularly called the "death-spiral" phenomenon. The use of PS-poll
in such scenarios guarantees a low but consistent throughput.
Since the death-spiral phenomenon is observed only when the RSSI is low, use
PS-poll only when RSSI is low and disable when high, with a known hysterisis.
This feature specifies the high and low thresholds and implements the
callbacks registered with mac80211, which will be called when threshold events
occur.

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out
