Code clean up to change name from having 5000 as part of name which easy
to confuse and think it is for 5000 series devices to more
generic _agn name since it is being used by multiple _agn devices.

Wey-Yi Guy 6555063666 iwlwifi: add support for device tx flush request
"Flush" request can come from two different sources, it can either from
mac80211, or from device when the operation is needed. Here
adding the support for device issue "flush" request.

When receive tx complete with status is TX_STATUS_FAIL_RFKILL_FLUSH,
issue REPLY_TXFIFO_FLUSH command to uCode to flush out all the tx frames
in queues.

In this condition, since mac80211 has no knowledge of "flush" operation,
driver need to stop all the tx queues and wait for the operation
completed before wake up the queues for frames transmission.

Wey-Yi Guy 716c74b007 iwlwifi: add mac80211 flush callback support
Adding flush callback support in the driver. Two type of flush can be
issued by mac80211:
1. drop = true: frame drop is ok, issue REPLY_TXFIFO_FLUSH host command
to uCode to drop all the frames in tx fifo queues; then return the
control back to mac80211
2. drop = false: wait for either all the frames in tx fifo queues been
transmitted, or timeout; then return the control back to mac80211

If the flush request coming from mac80211, mac80211 will make sure there
are no additional frames push down to driver before flush operation is
completed.

Daniel Halperin 278c2f6faa iwlwifi: update LQ for bcast station on channel change
The rate table in the bcast LQ is computed only when the station is
allocated, and chooses the lowest rate for the band. Because of when this
occurs, this is the 2.4 GHz band and uses the 0x420a (CCK, 1 Mbps) rate. In 5 GHz
beaconing mode, this rate will prevent beacons from being sent and any other
packets from being received.

We can fix this by re-initializing the bcast station's LQ command when the
channel is changed.

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.

Currently iwlwifi will eventually exhaust the station

unless the interface is set down.

Reinette Chatre 3459ab5a1c iwlwifi: make broadcast station addition generic
Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it
in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and
iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add
that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality
resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code
reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This
seems to be an efficient solution.

It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945
broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since
the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always
set.

Trieu 'Andrew' Nguyen 3e4fb5faef iwlwifi: Tune radio to prevent unexpected behavior
We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment
and the radio is out of tune.  There are lot of plcp errors indicating
this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the
Access Point.  By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are
reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise.

To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication,
- The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on
the statistics notification from the uCode.
- It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via
the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.

Wey-Yi Guy 1b3eb8236a iwlwifi: display flowhandler register when sw error or on-demand
Flowhandler handle the communication between driver and uCode, when any
uCode error happen, we also like to know what is the status of the
flowhandler; it can help to debug flowhandler related problem.

Also adding debugfs file to dump current value of flowhandler registers.
