Setting tx power can be deferred during scan or changing channel.
If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out

Commit 06e8935feb adds an IRQ handling
optimization for single-function SDIO cards like this one, but at the
same time exposes a small hardware bug.
During hardware init, an interrupt is generated with (apparently) no
source. Previously, mmc threw this interrupt away, but now (due to the
optimization), the mmc layer passes this onto libertas, before it is ready
(and before it has enabled interrupts), causing a crash.
Work around this hardware bug by registering the IRQ handler later and
making it capable of handling interrupts with no cause. The change that
makes the IRQ handler registration happen later actually eliminates
the spurious interrupt as well.

zd1211 devices register 'EP 4 OUT' endpoint as Interrupt type on USB 2.0:
Endpoint Descriptor:
bLength 7
bDescriptorType 5
bEndpointAddress 0x04 EP 4 OUT
bmAttributes 3
Transfer Type Interrupt
Synch Type None
Usage Type Data
wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes
bInterval 1
However on USB 1.1 endpoint becomes Bulk:
Endpoint Descriptor:
bLength 7
bDescriptorType 5
bEndpointAddress 0x04 EP 4 OUT
bmAttributes 2
Transfer Type Bulk
Synch Type None
Usage Type Data
wMaxPacketSize 0x0040 1x 64 bytes
bInterval 0
Commit 37939810b9 assumed that endpoint is
always interrupt type and changed usb_bulk_msg() calls to usb_interrupt_msg().
Problem here is that usb_bulk_msg() on interrupt endpoint selfcorrects the
call and changes requested pipe to interrupt type (see usb_bulk_msg).
However with usb_interrupt_msg() on bulk endpoint does not correct the
pipe type to bulk, but instead URB is submitted with interrupt type pipe.
So pre-2.6.39 used usb_bulk_msg() and therefore worked with both endpoint
types, however in 2.6.39 usb_interrupt_msg() with bulk endpoint causes
ohci_hcd to fail submitted URB instantly with -ENOSPC and preventing zd1211rw
from working with OHCI.
Fix this by detecting endpoint type and using correct endpoint/pipe types
for URB. Also fix asynchronous zd_usb_iowrite16v_async() to use right
URB type on 'EP 4 OUT'.

Fix kernel oops when trying to use passive scheduled scans. The
reason was that in passive scans there are no SSIDs, so there was a
NULL pointer dereference.
To solve the problem, we now check the number of SSIDs provided in the
sched_scan request and only access the list if there's one or more
(ie. passive scan is not forced). We also force all the channels to
be passive by adding the IEEE80211_CHAN_PASSIVE_SCAN flag locally
before the checks in the wl1271_scan_get_sched_scan_channels()
function.

Before this patch, the command sequence number is being set before
lbs_queue_cmd() adds the command to the queue. However, lbs_queue_cmd()
sometimes forces commands to queue-jump (e.g. CMD_802_11_WAKEUP_CONFIRM).
It currently does this without considering that sequence numbers might need
adjusting to keep things running in order.
Fix this by setting the sequence number at a later stage, just before
we're actually submitting the command to the hardware. Also fixes a
possible race where seqnum was being modified outside of the driver
lock.

Although a previous fix handles the kernel panics that result from

To handle amsdu_8k capability, the PCI routine of this driver must
allocate receive buffers of order 2. Under heavy load, this causes
fragmentation of memory. The present code releases the current buffer
before checking to see if a new one is availble. Recovery from
allocation failures is not possible, which results in kernel panics.
The fix is to reorder the code to check that a new buffer can be
allocated before the old one is released. If not possible, the
received frame is dropped and the old one is reused. Without this
change, it is impossible to transfer a 2 GB file without a kernel panic.

While decoding received event packet from firmware, 4 bytes
of interface header are already removed unconditionally.
So for handling event only 4 more bytes needs to be pulled.
This is achieved by changing event header length to 4.
Almost all the events, except BA stream related and AMSDU
aggregation control events, do not have the payload in their
event skb. Such events handling depends only on the event ID.
This event ID is the first four bytes of the event skb, which
is copied to a separate variable before pulling the skb header.
Hence event handling worked only for those events that didn't
have payload in event skb.
This patch fixes the broken event path of the events with
payload in their event skb without harming existing working
event path for the events without payload.
