Jean Delvare d2dd14ac18 i2c-nforce2: Add support for MCP67, MCP73, MCP78S and MCP79
The MCP78S and MCP79 appear to be compatible with the previous nForce
chips as far as the SMBus controller is concerned. The MCP67 and MCP73
were not tested yet but I'd be very surprised if they weren't
compatible too.

Jean Delvare 764c16918f i2c: Document the different ways to instantiate i2c devices
On popular demand, here comes some documentation about how to
instantiate i2c devices in the new (standard) i2c device driver
binding model.

I have also clarified how the class bitfield lets driver authors
control which buses are probed in the auto-detect case, and warned
more loudly against the abuse of this method.

Johannes Berg e4e72fb4de mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifi
This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from
mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so
it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle
starting and stopping the queues in mac80211.

To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software
queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep
track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk
to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling
two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the
mac80211 counterparts.

Johannes Berg cd8ffc800c mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stop
Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation
(which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer
the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb
queue once aggregation is turned on successfully.

We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and
we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in
a follow-up patch.

This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support
aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now
not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being
established, but only after it has been fully established.

Johannes Berg a220858d30 mac80211: add skb length sanity checking
We just found a bug in zd1211rw where it would reject
packets in the ->tx() method but leave them modified,
which would cause retransmit attempts with completely
bogus skbs, eventually leading to a panic due to not
having enough headroom in those.

This patch adds a sanity check to mac80211 to catch
such driver mistakes; in this case we warn and drop
the skb.

Johannes Berg b1720231ca mac80211: unify and fix TX aggregation start
When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps:
 1) print a debug message
 2) wake the virtual queue
 3) notify the driver

Unfortunately, 1) and 3) are only done if the driver is first to
reply to the aggregation request, it is, however, possible that the
remote station replies before the driver! Thus, unify the code for
this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both
places where TX aggregation can become operational.

Additionally, rename the driver notification from
IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_RESUME to IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL.

The pending packets code is quite incomprehensible, uses memory barriers

variable like before).

Johannes Berg f0e72851f7 mac80211: fix A-MPDU queue assignment
Internally, mac80211 requires the skb's queue mapping to be set
to the AC queue, not the virtual A-MPDU queue. This is not done
correctly currently, this patch moves the code down to directly
before the driver is invoked and adds a comment that it will be
moved into the driver later.

Since this requires __ieee80211_tx() to have the sta pointer,
make sure to provide it in ieee80211_tx_pending().

Johannes Berg 2de8e0d999 mac80211: rewrite fragmentation
Fragmentation currently uses an allocated array to store the
fragment skbs, and then keeps track of which have been sent
and which are still pending etc. This is rather complicated;
make it simpler by just chaining the fragments into skb->next
and removing from that list when sent. Also simplifies all
code that needs to touch fragments, since it now only needs
to walk the skb->next list.

This is a prerequisite for fixing the stored packet code,
which I need to do for proper aggregation packet storing.

Johannes Berg 4bbf4d5658 cfg80211: fix locking in nl80211_set_wiphy
Luis reports that there's a circular locking dependency;
this is because cfg80211_dev_rename() will acquire the
cfg80211_mutex while the device mutex is held, while
this normally is done the other way around. The solution
is to open-code the device-getting in nl80211_set_wiphy
and require holding the mutex around cfg80211_dev_rename
rather than acquiring it within.

Also fix a bug -- rtnl locking is expected by drivers so
we need to provide it.

Johannes Berg 7986cf9581 mac80211: remove mixed-cell and userspace MLME code
Neither can currently be set from userspace, so there's no
regression potential, and neither will be supported from
userspace since the new userspace APIs allow the SME, which
is in userspace, to control all we need.

Johannes Berg ac7f9cfa2c cfg80211: accept no-op interface mode changes
When somebody tries to set the interface mode to the existing
mode, don't ask the driver but silently accept the setting.

Luis R. Rodriguez 86f04680df cfg80211: remove code about country IE support with OLD_REG
We had left in code to allow interested developers to add
support for parsing country IEs when OLD_REG was enabled.
This never happened and since we're going to remove OLD_REG
lets just remove these comments and code for it.

This code path was never being entered so this has no
functional change.

Luis R. Rodriguez 6ee7d33056 cfg80211: make regdom module parameter available oustide of OLD_REG
It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not
recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities
for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using
this though.

Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace
automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy
the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg
code to help these users migrate.

Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their
ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled
system will world roam.

This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module
parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and
users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

Luis R. Rodriguez cc0b6fe88e cfg80211: fix incorrect assumption on last_request for 11d
The incorrect assumption is the last regulatory request
(last_request) is always a country IE when processing
country IEs. Although this is true 99% of the time the
first time this happens this could not be true.

This fixes an oops in the branch check for the last_request
when accessing drv_last_ie. The access was done under the
assumption the struct won't be null.

Note to stable: to port to 29 replace as follows, only 29 has
country IE code:

s|NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE|REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE
