During PHY errors, the MAC can sometimes fail to enter an idle state on older
hardware (before AR9380) after an rx stop has been requested.
This typically shows up in the kernel log with messages like these:
ath: Could not stop RX, we could be confusing the DMA engine when we start RX up
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/recv.c:504 ath_stoprecv+0xcc/0xf0 [ath9k]()

When this happens, the state that the MAC enters is easy to identify and
does not result in bogus DMA traffic, however to ensure a working state
after a channel change, the hardware should still be reset.
This patch adds detection for this specific MAC state, after which the above
warnings completely disappear in my tests.

This patch fixes a very serious off-by-one bug in
the driver, which could leave the device in an
unresponsive state.
The problem was that the extra_len variable [used to
reserve extra scratch buffer space for the firmware]
was left uninitialized. Because p54_assign_address
later needs the value to reserve additional space,
the resulting frame could be to big for the small
device's memory window and everything would
immediately come to a grinding halt.

This generates a massive reduction in module size:
with debug:

388347 13136 408 401891 621e3 iwlagn.ko (after)
without debug:

294192 13072 408 307672 4b1d8 iwlagn.ko (after)
This also removes all the IO debug functionality since
it can easily be replaced by tracing, and makes the
code unnecessarily complex.
I haven't done any CPU utilisation measurements, but
given that the hotpaths don't use much IO it is not
likely to have a negative impact; in fact, the size
reduction will reduce cache pressure which possibly
improves performance.
Finally, an unused function or two were removed.

The ucode restart has to take into account a number
of things, like clearing the HCMD_ACTIVE and other
status bits, and waking up the wait_command_queue.
Currently, however, there are a number of places
that neither do that, nor actually set the FW error
bit that leads to proper restart handling, which
means that in those cases things will probably just
hang completely.
To clean this up, make all ucode restart go through
a single function, except for the cases where it's
called during firmware loading.
Also fix a bug in wimax coexist restart avoidance,
it needs to first clear the status bits (and it has
to clear the HCMD_ACTIVE one as well) and then wake
up anything waiting on wait_command_queue.

On multi station vif case, configure beacon timers beased
on primary vif selected. This also helps while moving back
to single STA vif from multi STA vifs, where the power save
is enabled and hw has to be reconfigured with proper
beacon and bssid/aid. Otherwise connection poll will be triggered

On Nokia N900 the wl1251 consumes the most power when the interface is up
but not associated to access point (that supports PSM). In terms of battery
current consumption, the consumption is ~180 mA higher when the interface is
up but not associated and only ~5 mA higher when associated compared to
interface down and driver not loaded cases.
This patch adds support for the mac80211 idle notifications. Chip is put into
idle very much the same way when entering into PSM by utilizing the Extreme
Low Power (ELP) mode. I.e. idle is entered by setting necessary conditions
in wl1251_ps_set_mode followed by a call to wl1251_ps_elp_sleep.
It seems it is just enough the authorize ELP mode followed by
CMD_DISCONNECT (thanks to Kalle Valo about the idea to use it).
Without disconnect command the chip remains somewhat active and stays
consuming ~20 mA. Idle mode is left by same way than PSM. The wl1251_join
call is used to revert the CMD_DISCONNECT. Without it association to AP
doesn't work when trying second time.
With this patch the interface up but not associated case the battery current
consumption is less than 1 mA higher compared to interface down case.

RFC for WL1251 idle mode support brought a few issues that are worth to
update before adding the idle mode support.
Since the idle mode can reuse the code that is now used in Power Save Mode
(PSM), the flag psm in struct wl1251 is changed to variable station_mode
to be able to distinguish between PSM and idle modes.
As the station mode is different than the power power save mode command
that is sent to chip, the enum wl1251_cmd_ps_mod values are used only when
communicating with the chip and new enum wl1251_station_mode values are used
inside the driver.
Confusing comment about psm and elp relation is removed since the PSM is
actually activated by putting the chip into Entreme Low Power (ELP) mode.

When testing wpa_supplicant with 'nl80211' driver to connect
to an AP with WPA/WPA2 security, we notice the followings:
1) add_key is called firstly with the key from cfg80211
2) set_defaut_key is called next
set_default_key() is specific to WEP keys and should not be
called in case of WPA/WPA2 security. The set_default_key()
won't be called if wpa_supplicant uses "-Dwext" option,
but it's been called if "-Dnl80211" option is specified.
We can fix this issue by adding a check to return from
set_default_key() if WEP key is not configured.
