The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered,
and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates
ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err()
parses its arguments as a format string. For systems with b43 hardware,
this could lead to a uid-0 to ring-0 escalation.

Add handling of rx descriptor underflow. This fixes a fault that could
happen on slow machines, where data is received faster than the CPU can
handle. In such a case the device will use up all rx descriptors and
refuse to send any more data before confirming that it is ok. This
patch enables necessary interrupt to discover such a situation and will
handle them by dropping everything in the ring buffer.

Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the
probe routine to fail because the request to user space would time
out. The original fix for b43 (commit 6b6fa58) moved the firmware
load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous
firmware loading. This method is OK when b43 is built as a module;
however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel.
This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file
using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to
hold the work queue until that file is available. This driver
reads several firmware files - the remainder can be read synchronously.
On some test systems, the async read fails; however, a following synch
read works, thus the async failure falls through to the sync try.

b43 with open firmware crashes mac80211 because
it changes the number of queues at runtime which,
while it was never really supported, now crashes

Fix this by detecting open vs. proprietary fw
earlier and registering with mac80211 with the

Commit 2a19032 (b43: reload phy and bss settings after core restarts)
introduced an unconditional call to b43_op_config() at the end of
b43_op_start(). When firmware fails to load this can wedge the system.
There's no need to reload the configuration after a failed
initialization anyway, so only make the call if initialization was
successful.

Recent changes in udev are causing problems for drivers that load firmware
from the probe routine. As b43 has such a structure, it must be changed.
As this driver loads more than 1 firmware file, changing to the asynchronous routine
request_firmware_nowait() would be complicated. In this implementation, the probe
routine starts a queue that calls the firmware loading routines.

When using the bcm5354 (Soc with integrated LP-PHY Wifi) with a recent
firmware >= 478.104 it runs out of memory after a very short time in
OpenWrt after doing an active scan or any thing else where packages are
send. This was cased by a gpio misconfiguration, the firmware triggered
the GPIO pins used for buttons on some devices and that caused an other
driver (OpenWrt diag) listening for these buttons irqs to send many
messages to the user space.
This patch fixes the bug for my devices (Asus WL-520GU) and makes it
work with firmware 666.2. Now the firmware just uses LED GPIO pin
number 1 and not the button pins any more.
This is the GPIO Pin layout used on my device, see [0].

0 power led
1 wlan led
2 reset button
3 ses buttom

Following Rafal request, we verified that on "modern" CPUs using one
or more workers is equivalent. Here is patch V3 that addresses the
packet loss bug in the dma engine using only one worker.
-------
This patch addresses a bug in the dma worker code that keeps draining
packets even when the hardware queues are full. In such cases packets
can not be passed down to the device and are erroneusly dropped by the
code.
This problem was already discussed here
