Implements the firmware loader (using the bus-specific driver's
backends for the actual upload). The most critical thing in here is
the piece that puts the device in boot-mode from any other
(undetermined) state, otherwise, it is just pushing the bytes from the
firmware file to the device.

Implementation of the glue to the network stack so the WiMAX device
shows up as an Ethernet device.
Initially we shot for implementing a Pure IP device -- however, the
world seems to turn around Ethernet devices. Main issues were with the
ISC DHCP client and servers (as they don't understand types other than
Ethernet and Token Ring).
We proceeded to register with IANA the PureIP hw type, so that DHCP
requests could declare such. We also created patches to the main ISC
DHCP versions to support it. However, until all that permeates into
deployments, there is going to be a long time.
So we moved back to wrap Ethernet frames around the PureIP device. At
the time being this has overhead; we need to reallocate with space for
an Ethernet header. The reason is the device-to-host protocol
coalesces many network packets into a single message, so we can't
introduce Ethernet headers without overwriting valid data from other
packets.
Coming-soon versions of the firmware have this issue solved.

Implements the generic probe and disconnect functions that will be
called by the USB and SDIO driver's probe/disconnect functions.
Implements the backends for the WiMAX stack's basic operations:
message passing, rfkill control and reset.

The wimax/i2400m.h defines the structures and constants for the
host-device protocols:
- boot / firmware upload protocol
- general data transport protocol
- control protocol
It is done in such a way that can also be used verbatim by user space.
drivers/net/wimax/i2400m.h defines all the APIs used by the core,
bus-generic driver (i2400m) and the bus specific drivers
(i2400m-BUSNAME). It also gives a roadmap to the driver
implementation.
debug-levels.h adds the core driver's debug settings.
