Historically some macro helpers have been users for this,
AR5K_LOW_ID() and AR5K_HIGH_ID(), use upstream unaligned
helpers instead. This applid to ath5k and ar9170. ath9k
already uses this.
Worth noting is ath5k uses an ah_sta_id but that is already
the MAC address combined with the associaiton ID, ah_sta_id
is really ETH_ALEN in size.

This patch fixes a embarrassing bug which was introduced by:
"[PATCH] ar9170: implement frequency calibration for one-stage/openfw"
The phy_data variable initialization has to done outside the for-loop
scope. This is because the for-loop uses u32 phy_data variable more
like a 4-byte field. But in each run only a single byte is calculated.
Therefore phy_data content needs to stay the same for at least 3 more
iterations, before the complete set can be uploaded.

If any ctl mode isn't found in the eeprom, we fall back to the "lower",

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.
A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

Not all AP are compatible with the driver(and firmware) yet, so YMMV.

possibly a redesigned driver just for good measure.

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code.
In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs.
However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for
pending data frames.
This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g.
We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different
in the mean time. But - as you guessed it - this simple approach
stands in way for a decent aggregation implementation.
