Currently core functions are spread between various files, group all
the functions into file and rename the functions to follow the style
used elsewhere in the driver. This will make it easier to a separate core
module.
Also fix a bug where wiphy is freed too early.

Group them together and change the naming to follow the common style in
ath6kl. No functional changes.

ath6kl firmware supports scheduled scan functionality with the wow ssid
filter. But the firmware does not send any events after scan results
so I had to add a timer which notifies about new scan results.
Sched scan needs firmware version 3.2.0.6 or later. If firmware doesn't
support sched scan the driver will not enable the feature.

In addition to existing deep sleep and cut pwr mode, new state
is added in ath6kl_cfg_suspend_mode as well as in ath6kl_state for WOW.

cfg80211 layer provides user defined wow parameters like Filter options, Patterns,
Pattern's mask, etc via "struct cfg80211_wowlan *wow" to suspend function.
Right now, this wowlan parameter is not handled in __ath6kl_cfg80211_suspend func.
This parameter has to be passed to HIF layer, So that it can be passed back to
ath6kl's cfg interface layer when WOW mode is selected.
In case of deep sleep and cut power mode, it's not handled.

If sdio controller doesn't support keep power, cut power from hardware
during suspend and restart firmware during resume. If we are connected
during suspend, send a disconnected event to user space.
Earlier suspend failed with an error if sdio didn't support keep power.
Now suspend will happen succesfully even with that case.

This is in preparation for cutpower suspend feature. HIF layer makes
the decision based on information provided by cfg80211 and what hardware
actually supports. Then it calls ath6kl_cfg80211_suspend() to enable
the chosen mode.
Functionality should be the same, this is just preparation for
more suspend modes (cutpower and wow).

Currently it takes an error code as status, but what we really want to
tell is if the scan was aborted or not.
Also fix a bug where we were comparing firmware scan status values
with kernel error codes, which is obviously wrong. This meant
that ath6kl didn't detect when firmware informed about failed scans. I
doubt that this fix doesn't make any difference in practise but it
still needs to be fixed. This is fixed by adding an enum for the success
status code and checking for that.

Last May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which is
currently in staging. The work has happened in a separate
ath6kl-cleanup tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summary
After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would
like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless
trees and replacing the staging driver.
The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.
The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49
kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107
to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26
to zero :)
There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we
decided to omit for now:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31:
WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527:
WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms;
see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt
The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific
structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have
any big endian hardware to test that right now.
We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The
code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.
Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:
o HCI over SDIO support
o nl80211 testmode
o firmware logging
o suspend support
Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI
over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to
share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research
more.
Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.
As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I
decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16
and sle32, especially from wmi.h.
Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall of
fame based on number of patches is:
