Michael Buesch 591f3dc200 b43: Do radio lock assertion in software
The assertion of the lock-bit in the hardware register is unreliable,
because there are devices with quirks that will randomly set the bit.

Do the assertion in software, only.

Michael Buesch 3e3ccb3d9b b43: Mask PHY TX error interrupt, if not debugging
This masks the PHY TX error interrupt, if debugging is disabled.

Currently we have a bug somewhere which triggers this interrupt once
in a while. (Depends on the network noise/quality). While this is nonfatal,
it scares the hell out of users and we frequently receive bugreports
that incorrectly identify this error message as the reason.

There's another problem with this. The PHY TX error interrupt is protected
with a watchdog that will restart the device if it keeps triggering very often.
This is used to fix interrupt storms from completely broken devices.

However, this watchdog might trigger in completely normal operation.
If the TX capacity of the card is saturated, the likeliness of the watchdog
triggering increases, as more TX errors occur. The current threshold
for the watchdog is 1000 errors in 15 seconds.

This patch adds a workaround for the issue by just enabling the interrupt
if debugging is disabled (by Kconfig or by modparam).

This has the downside that real fatal PHY TX errors are not caught anymore.
But this is nonfatal due to the following reasons:
* If the card is not able to transmit anymore, MLME will notice anyway.
* I did _never_ see a real fatal PHY TX error in a mainline b43 driver.
* It does _not_ result in interrupt storms or something like that.
  It will simply result in a stalled card. It can be debugged by enabling
  the debugging module parameter.

Michael Buesch 060210f938 b43: Dynamically control log verbosity
Dynamically control the log verbosity with a module parameter.
This enables us to dynamically enable debugging messages (or disable
info, warn, error messages) via module parameter or /sys/module/b43/parameters/verbose.

This increases the module size by about 3k. But in practice it reduces the
module size for the user, because some distributions ship the b43 module
with CONFIG_B43_DEBUG set, which increases the module by about 15k.

So with this patch applied, distributions should really _disable_ CONFIG_B43_DEBUG.
There is no reason to keep it in a production-release kernel.
So we have a net reduction in size by about 12k.

This patch also adds a printk of the wireless core revision, so people
don't have to enable SSB debugging to get the wireless core revision.

Michael Buesch 1a9f509368 b43: Automatically probe for opensource firmware
First probe for proprietary firmware and then probe for opensource firmware.
This way around it's a win-win situation.
1) If proprietary fw is available, it will work.
2) If opensource firmware is available, but no proprietary (Distros can only ship open fw)
   it might work.
3) If both open and proprietary are available, it will work, because it selects
   the proprietary. We currently don't prefer the open fw in this case, because it doesn't
   work on all devices. It would introduce a regression otherwise.

The remaining FIXMEs in this patch are harmless, because they only matter on multiband
devices, which are not implemented yet anyway.

Michael Buesch 18c8adeb02 b43: Rewrite TX power adjustment
This patch rewrites the TX power recalculation algorithms to scale better
with changed enviromnent. If there's low
TX traffic, the power will be checked against the desired values
every 60 seconds.
If there is high TX traffic, the check is redone every 2 seconds. This improves
the reaction times a lot and confuses the rate control less.
It will also reduce the time it initially takes to tune to a new TX power
value. With the old algorithm it could take about 30 to 45 seconds to settle to
a new power value. This will happen in about two to four seconds now.

Larry Finger 430cd47fa9 b43: Fix for another Bluetooth Coexistence SPROM Programming error for BCM4306
In trying to help users on the Ubuntu Bugzilla, I discovered another
BCM4306 with the Bluetooth Coexistence programming error in the SPROM.

This patch is contingent on the one that added the Linksys device with
subdevice code of 0x0014.
