Reinette Chatre 9c5ac091b2 iwlwifi: fix and add missing sta_lock usage
There are a few places where sta_lock is used, but the
station information protected by it is accessed outside
of the lock. Address this in two ways, if the access
won't sleep then just move the access into the lock, if
the access can sleep then copy the needed station
information to the stack to be accessed without risk of
it changing while access in progress.

Additionally, a number of other places access station
station information without holding the sta_lock, fix
those as well.

This adds support for offloading the channel switch
operation to devices that support such, typically
by having specific firmware API for it. The reasons
for this could be that the firmware provides better
timing or that regulatory enforcement done by the
device requires special handling of CSAs.

In order to allow drivers to specify the timing to
the device, the new channel_switch callback will
pass through the received frame's mactime, where
available.

  * To improve DPPM, three parameters were updated (Released from Madhan):
	1. RANGE_OSDAC is set to 0x1 for 2G, 0x0 for 5G
	2. offsetC1 is set to 0xc
	3. inv_clk320_adc is set to 0x1
  * To reduce PHY error(from spur), cycpwr_thr1 and cycpwr_thr1_ext
    are increased to 0x8 at 2G.
  * The 2G Rx gain tables are updated with mixer gain setting 3,1,0.

Luis R. Rodriguez 9637e516d1 ath5k: drop warning on jumbo frames
Jumbo frames are not supported, and if they are seen it is likely
a bogus frame so just silently discard them instead of warning on
them all time. Also, instead of dropping them immediately though
move the check *after* we check for all sort of frame errors. This
should enable us to discard these frames if the hardware picks
other bogus items first. Lets see if we still get those jumbo
counters increasing still with this.

Jumbo frames would happen if we tell hardware we can support
a small 802.11 chunks of DMA'd frame, hardware would split RX'd
frames into parts and we'd have to reconstruct them in software.
This is done with USB due to the bulk size but with ath5k we
already provide a good limit to hardware and this should not be
happening.

This is reported quite often and if it fills the logs then this
needs to be addressed and to avoid spurious reports.

struct, many places need not look at the station
table any more since they can just pull the station
ID out of the struct. Remove iwl_get_sta_id() and
use iwl_sta_id() instead as appropriate.

This reduces the amount of code needed to find the
right station significantly, and works since
mac80211 passes the station only after it has been
fully initialised, ie. even if TX races with
station addition it will only be passed to TX once
the addition is complete.

Johannes Berg 64ba9a54c6 iwlwifi: add iwl_sta_id()
In places where the station struct is
guaranteed to exist (presumably), use
this helper to get the station ID out
of it (and warn if there's no station
struct after all).

Johannes Berg fd1af15d0a iwlwifi: track station IDs
mac80211 allows us to store private data per
station, so put the station ID there. This
allows us to avoid the station ID lookup when
removing regular stations. To also be able to
avoid the lookup to remove the special IBSS
BSSID station, track its ID in the per-vif
private data.

Wey-Yi Guy 470356b891 iwlwifi: "tx power per chain" are part of ucode_tx_stats
Move "tx power per chain" into ucode_tx_stats, it is debugging
information provided by uCode as part of statistics notification.

The "tx power per chain" parameters are optional parameters which only
supported by 6000 series device today; those are reserved fields for all
the other devices.

Reinette Chatre 3bce606626 iwlagn: work around rate scaling reset delay
When station is using an HT channel to communicate to AP and communication
is lost then driver will first be notified that channel is not an HT
channel anymore before AP station is removed. A consequence of that is that
the driver will know that it is not communicating on HT anymore, but the
rate scaling table is still under the impression it is operating in HT. Any
time after driver has been notified channel is not HT anymore there will
thus be a firmware SYSASSERT when the current active LQ command is sent.

A workaround for this issue is to not send a LQ command in the short time between
being notified channel is not HT anymore and rate scaling table being
updated.

This fixes http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2173

Johannes Berg 2c810ccdba iwlwifi: rework broadcast station management
Currently, the broadcast station is managed along
with the interface type, rather than always being
present. That leads to a bug with injection -- it
is currently not possible to inject frames when
the only virtual interface is a monitor, because
in that the required broadcast station is missing.

Additionally, allocating and deallocating the
broadcast station's LQ all the time is wasteful,
and the code to support this is fairly complex.

So this changes completely the way we manage the
broadcast station. Rather than manage it along
with any interface, we now allocate it when we
bring the device up, and remove it again when we
bring the device down. When we bring the device
up, we don't immediately program the broadcast
station into it, instead we just mark it active
and rely on the next restore cycle to upload it
to the device. This works because an unassociated
RXON is always required at least once to set up
device parameters, which implies a reprogramming
of stations into the device.

As we now manage all stations properly, there no
longer is a need for forcing a clearing of them
via iwl_clear_ucode_stations(), which can become
a lot simpler.
