As reported by Matthias, on 5572 chip, even if we clear up TXWI
of corresponding beacon, hardware still try to send it or do other
action that increase power consumption peak up to 1A.
To avoid the issue, setup beaconing dynamically by configuring offsets
of currently active beacons and MAC_BSSID_DW1_BSS_BCN_NUM variable,
which limit number of beacons that hardware will try to send.

On new 2800 hardware sizes of TXWI & RXIW can be different than TXD
& RXD sizes, so we need to difference between them. Let's define

of as size of additional descriptor - in separate DMA coherent buffer
for PCI hardware (TXD & RXD) and yet another in buffer descriptor for
USB hardware (TXINFO & RXINFO).

rt2800 hardware sometimes reorders tx frames when transmitting to
multiple BA enabled STAs concurrently.
For example a tx queue
[ STA1 | STA2 | STA1 | STA2 ]
can result in the tx status reports
[ STA1 | STA1 | STA2 | STA2 ]
when the hw decides to put the frames for STA1 in one AMPDU.
To mitigate this effect associate the currently processed tx status
to the first frame in the tx queue with a matching wcid.
This patch fixes several problems related to incorrect tx status
reporting. Furthermore the tx rate selection is much more stable when
communicating with multiple STAs.

Currently we read tx status register after each urb data transfer. As
callback procedure also trigger reading, that causing we have many
"threads" of reading status. To prevent that introduce TX_STATUS_READING
flags, and check if we are already in process of sequential reading
TX_STA_FIFO, before requesting new reads.
Change timer to hrtimer, that make TX_STA_FIFO overruns less possible.
Use 200 us for initial timeout, and then reschedule in 100 us period,
this values probably have to be tuned.
Make changes on txdone work. Schedule it from
rt2800usb_tx_sta_fifo_read_completed() callback when first valid status
show up. Check in callback if tx status timeout happens, and schedule
work on that condition too. That make possible to remove tx status
timeout from generic watchdog. I moved that to rt2800usb.

which is already processed, and after finish work is not rescheduled

The rt2x00 driver gets frequent occurrences of the following error message
when operating under load:
phy0 -> rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the
non-full queue 2.
This is caused by simultaneous attempts from mac80211 to send a frame via
rt2x00, which are not properly serialized inside rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame,
causing the second frame to fail sending with the above mentioned error
message.
Fix this by introducing a per-queue spinlock to serialize the TX operations
on that queue.

Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
rt2x00 should send a BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU
subframe fails.
Introduce a new flag TXDONE_AMPDU to indicate that this is an AMPDU
subframe and pass IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to mac80211 if an
AMPDU subframe failed during transmission.

BEACON_ENTRIES and ATIM_ENTRIES and use per driver values.
That is 24 entries for rt2400pci, 32 entries for rt2500pci, rt2500usb,

The watchdog for rt2800usb triggers frequently causing all URB's
to be canceled often enough to interrupt the normal TX flow.
More research indicated that not the URB upload to the USB host
were hanging, but instead the TX status reports.
To correctly detect what is going on, we introduce Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE
which is an index counter between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX and indicates
if the frame has been transfered to the device.
This also requires the rt2x00queue timeout functions to be updated
to differentiate between a DMA timeout (time between Q_INDEX and
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE timeout) and a STATUS timeout (time between
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE and Q_INDEX_DONE timeout)
All Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE code was taken from the RFC from
Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> for the implementation
for watchdog for rt2800pci.

to manage this completely from rt2x00queue.c.
For safely looping through all entries in the queue, the function
rt2x00queue_for_each_entry is added which will walk from from a index
range in a safe manner.
This also fixes rt2x00usb which walked the entries list from
0 to length to kill each entry (killing entries must be done

Move all TX and RX completion handling into a work structure,
which is handeled on the mac80211 workqueue. This simplifies
the code in rt2x00lib since it no longer needs to check if the
device is USB or PCI to decide which mac80211 function should be used.
In the watchdog some changes are needed since it can no longer rely
on the TX completion function to be run while looping through the
entries. (Both functions now work on the same workqueue, so this
would deadlock). So the watchdog now waits for the URB to return,
and handle the TX status report directly.
As a side-effect, the debugfs entry for the RX queue now correctly
displays the positions of the INDEX and INDEX_DONE counters. This
also implies that it is not possible to perform checks like queue_empty()
and queue_full() on the RX queue.

Right now all frames mac80211 hands to the driver
have the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS flag set to
request TX status. This isn't really necessary, only
the injected frames need TX status (the latter for
hostapd) so move setting this flag.
The rate control algorithms also need TX status, but
they don't require it.
Also, rt2x00 uses that bit for its own purposes and
seems to require it being set for all frames, but
that can be fixed in rt2x00.
This doesn't really change anything for any drivers
