In case RFKILL is in KILL position, the NIC will issue an
interrupt straight away. This interrupt won't be sent
because it is masked in the hardware.
But if our interrupt service routine is called for another
reason (SHARED_IRQ), then we'll look at the interrupt cause
and service it. This can cause bad things if we are not
ready yet.
Explicitly clean the interrupt cause register to make sure
we won't service anything before we are ready to.

Commit 1bf4bbb402
Author: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org>
Title: mac80211: send control port protocol frames to the VO queue
There is noting wrong with the above commit. The regression occurs because
V0 queue on RTL8192SE cards uses priority 6, not the usual 7. The fix is to
modify the rtl8192se routine that sets the correct transmit queue.

There are some corner cases where the driver could get stuck with a full
tid queue that is paused, leading to a software tx queue hang.
Since the tx queueing rework, pausing per-tid queues on aggregation
session setup is no longer necessary. The driver will assign sequence
numbers to buffered frames when a new session is established, in order
to get the correct starting sequence number.
mac80211 prevents new frames from entering the queue during setup.

When the amount of noise fluctuates strongly, low immunity settings
can sometimes disrupt signal detection on AR913x chips. When that
happens, no OFDM/CCK errors are reported anymore, and ANI tunes the
radio to the lowest immunity settings.
Usually rx/tx fails as well in that case.
To fix this, keep noise immunity settings at or above ANI default level,
which will keep radio parameters at or above INI values.

brcmfmac has been broken on my cubietruck with a BCM43362:

Apr 22 2013 14:50:00 version 5.90.195.89.6 FWID 01-b30a427d
since commit 53036261033: "brcmfmac: update core reset and disable routines".
The problem is that since this commit brcmf_chip_ai_resetcore no longer sets
BCMA_IOCTL itself before bringing the core out of reset, instead relying on
brcmf_chip_ai_coredisable to do so. But brcmf_chip_ai_coredisable is a nop
of the chip is already in reset. This patch modifies brcmf_chip_ai_coredisable
to always set BCMA_IOCTL even if the core is already in reset.
This fixes brcmfmac hanging in firmware loading on my board.

Implement a recv budget so that in cases of high traffic we still allow other

Without this, we can encounter a host of issues during high wireless traffic
reception depending on system load including rcu stall's detected (ARM),
soft lockups, failure to service critical tasks such as watchdog resets,
and triggering of the tx stuck tasklet.
The same thing was proposed previously by Ben:

Allow switching back to legacy Tx columns so we'll stop doing

making a deciding to stay in a legacy column.
Despite having low legacy rates in the LQ table lower entries
it doesn't help much in case we're doing aggregations as the
aggregation was being transmitted in the initial rate of the table.
This should help traffic stalls when far from the AP.

After being idle for a long time (>5sec) the rs statistics
will be stale so we prefer to reset rs and start from legacy
rates again. This gives better results when the attenuation
increased signficantly (e.g. we got further from the AP) and
after a while we start Tx
Note that the first Tx after the idle period will still go out
in the old modulation and rate but this seemed a simpler approach
compared to adding a timer or modifying mac80211 for this.
The negative impact is negligble as we'll recover quickly.

If we have no beacon data before association, delay smart FIFO
enablement until after we have this data.
Not doing so can cause association failures in extremely silent
environments (usually only a shielded box/room) as beacon RX is
not sent to the host immediately, and then the association time
event ends without the host receiving any beacon even though it
was on the air - it's just stuck on the FIFO.
