Avinash Patil 953b3539ef mwifiex: check for bss_role instead of bss_mode for STA operations
This patch fixes an issue wherein association would fail on P2P
interfaces. This happened because we are checking priv->mode
against NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION. While this check is correct for
infrastructure stations, it would fail P2P clients for which mode
is NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_CLIENT.

Better check would be bss_role which has only 2 values: STA/AP.

Amitkumar Karwar 75ab753d77 mwifiex: remove global user_scan_cfg variable
As the variable is used only for preparation of internal scan
commands, we don't need to keep it allocated until the entire
scan completes. We will define it as a local variable and free

New flag 'scan_aborting' is added to handle race between
mwifiex_close() and scan handler. Previously user_scan_cfg
pointer used to take care of this.

This patch fixes a memory leak in mwifiex_cfg80211_scan after
running "iwlist mlan0 scan & sleep 1; rmmod mwifiex_sdio".

Johannes Berg 42d97a599e cfg80211: remove remain-on-channel channel type
As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the
only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel
with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it.
This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
right now.

Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
by removing the ability to use different channel types.
Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
we extend it again later (with the needed capability
flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

Avinash Patil 47411a06c0 mwifiex: add multi-queue support
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.
