ksdioirqd has higher priority than kworker. Process RX packets
in SDIO IRQ thread (ksdioirqd/mmcX) directly instead of deferring
the work to kworker to avoid the extra latency.
This improves TCP throughput 15~20% on an ARM platform with SDIO
2.0 controller.

This patch adds support for multiple TX queues inside mwifiex
driver. Four different queues according to WMM access categories
are defined for each virtual interface. When a packet is
received from netdev for transmission, tx pending count for
particular queue is incremented and if tx pending count has
reached upper water-mark, this queue is stopped instead of
stopping all queues. Similarly when a packet is successfully
transmitted from device, tx pending count is decremented per
queue and if pending count falls below lower water-mark, queue
operations are again resumed. This ensures that not all
tranmission is blocked if traffic with particular TOS value
suddenly increases.
Also wake all queues after association/IBSS_join/uAP_BSS_start
to enable traffic on all queues.

When the interface is down, we will abort scan by calling
cfg80211_scan_done() with abort option. This fixes WARN_ON
triggered by cfg80211 in wdev_cleanup_work().
Driver's internal variables/flags are cleared once we get
response for current scan command. Meanwhile we will block
new scan request from cfg80211.

Currently AP interface has higher priority over station. Hence
separate entries are created in "adapter->bss_prio_tbl" for these
interfaces and station packet is dequeued only if there is not
packet in queue for AP. It is observed that ping for station
interface doesn't work if heavy traffic is running on AP.
The problem is fixed by having same priority for both the
interfaces. This patch also removes an extra initialisation
for "priv->bss_priority".

Earlier scan command was postponed by 20msec multiple times to give
preference to Tx traffic until we find empty wmm queue.
There is a corner case in which wmm queue becomes empty immediately
after processing the packet(before 20msec) and there may be next
packet coming after some time. In this case we should not resume scan
operation.
We will use new flag to check Tx traffic and resume scan operation
only if there is no traffic for 200msec.

This is a flaw in recently implemented logic to handle Tx traffic
and scan operation simultaneously. We missed to wakeup main thread
to handle Tx traffic if scan is delayed/aborted.
For some cards (SD8797, for example), firmware will send SLEEP event
if there is no activity for 50msec. While handling the SLEEP event,
main thread will be woken up and Tx packet gets sent hence. In worst
case Tx traffic will be delayed for 50msec.
For other cards, such as USB8797, firmware won't send SLEEP event.
So, Tx traffic gets stuck if no other event triggers the wakeup of
main thread.
This patch fixes above issues.

If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running,
driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic
there is a delay for Tx packets.
This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority
in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan
commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will
make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan
command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by
20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or
timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will
be aborted.

cfg_workqueue was added to notify cfg80211 that scan, connect

We can avoid use of this workqueue by calling those handlers

1) Call connect, disconnect completion handlers in their callback
functions.
ex. Call cfg80211_connect_result() in mwifiex_cfg80211_connect()
2) Call scan completion handler after parsing response of last scan
command in a queue.
After removing the workqueue, variables (assoc_request etc.) and
checks used for mutual exclusion become redundant. Those are also

Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition)
is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads
enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the
threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is
same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response
of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command
response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd
command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last
command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver
command time out is seen for INIT command.
This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for
each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated
differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag
(scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.
