This patch is a complete rewrite of the scanning code. It now includes a
state machine to scan all four possible sets of channels independently:
2.4GHz active, 2.4GHz passive, 5GHz active and 5GHz passive. The wl1271
firmware doesn't allow these sets to be mixed, so up to several scan commands
have to be issued. This patch also allows scanning more than 24 channels per
set, by breaking the sets into smaller parts if needed (the firmware can scan
a maximum of 24 channels at a time).
Previously, the scanning code was erroneously scanning all channels possible
actively, not complying with the CRDA values. This is also fixed with this
patch.

The scanning code is going to get a bit more complex, with proper support for
active/passive scans together with 2.4GHz and 5GHz. In the future, also a
new type of scan (periodic scan) will be added. When all this is
implemented, the code is going to be much more complex, so we'd better
separate it into a separate file.
This patch doesn't have any impact on functionality.

Some AP's (such as Zyxel Prestige 600) have totally broken ps-poll
functionality. When powersave is enabled, these AP's will set the TIM bit for
a STA in beacons, but when the STA responds with a ps-poll, the AP does not
respond with data.
The wl1271 firmware is able to send an indication to the host, when this
problem occurs. This patch adds implementation, which temporarily disables
power-save in response to this indication, allowing the AP to transmit whatever
data it has buffered for the STA / whatever data is inbound at that time.
This patch does not make these AP's work reliably in PSM, but improves the
chances of inbound data getting through.
The side effect of this patch is increased power consumption when using a
faulty AP.

This patch removes the calibration performed on the first join command. The
reasoning is that this is unnecessary as devices get their calibration data
via the NVS file, and because the commands break BT coexistence.
This is actually safe, because of the implementation the calibration
was executed on the first JOIN anyway, after an ifdown/ifup the devices have
relied on the NVS for calibration anyway (== most of the time.)

The current mac80211 code assumes that WEP is always available. If WEP
fails to initialize, ieee80211_register_hw will always fail.
In some cases (e.g. FIPS certification), the cryptography used by WEP is
unavailable. However, in such cases there is no good reason why CCMP
encryption (or even no link level encryption) cannot be used. So, this
patch removes mac80211's assumption that WEP (and TKIP) will always be

When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of
the 913x specific cold reset. As with some AR9280 cards, the TSF needs
to be preserved in software here.
Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful
TSF write directly after the chip reset. In this case, repeating the
TSF write after the initval-writes usually works.
This patch detects failed TSF writes and recovers from them, taking
into account the delay caused by the initval writes.
