Harshal Chhaya discovered during network tests, that
several of his clients dropped-off the network. The
captured packets shows that the beacons sent by the
AP are at a much lower power than the other data
packets.
The reason for this mishap: The driver never updated
the beacon phy register, so all beacons were always
sent at the lowest power.

Currently, the driver only disable multicast filtering when the
FIF_ALLMULTI driver flag has been just set (ie,
if changed_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI and *new_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI) or else
it will reenable multicast filtering.
But next time, this condition will be false and multicast filtering
will be reenabled, even through FIF_ALLMULTI is still set.
This mean that allmulticast only works for less than two minutes in
ad-hoc mode. This patch fixes that to disable multicast filtering
as long as FIF_ALLMULTI is set.

Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
carl9170 should set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to generate a
BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU subframe fails.
This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the
buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max
buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as
the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0
instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it
isn't possible to honour this request.
In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the
addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to
the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called
with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That
way the driver can limit the number of subframes in
aggregates appropriately.
Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the
addition of the new argument -- they all need to be
updated separately to use this variable!

This patch revamps some common code-paths which are
shared between (re-)initialization and suspend/resume
subroutines. It also adds some helpful comments
about quirks and associated difficulties.
It's quite big, but it should fix#25382:
<https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25382>
And hopefully the code is robust enough to deal with
all possible suspend/resume scenarios without requiring
the user to do any sort of manual and possibly
dangerous work.

By removing two "safety" msleeps (and an echo nop), the
channel change delay is effectively halved. Previously,
the delay could be as long as 260 ms and the device
could not go off-channel without risking to miss the
next DTIM beacon [interval ~307 ms].

This patch fixes a possible lengthy stall if the device
is operating as an experimental 11n AP and an STA
[during heavy txrx action] suddenly signalized to go
off-channel (old NetworkManager), or (sleep - which is
unlikely, because then it wouldn't be *active* at all!?).
Because the driver has to manage the BA Window, the
sudden PSM transition can leave active uplink BA
sessions to the STA in a bad state and a proper
cleanup is needed.
