For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while
connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or
rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when
data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived.
This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be
idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs
interace.
It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module
variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version
(upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3).
The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is
much more limited and can be only done at initialization time. Thus,
the sysfs file will return -ENOSYS on older ones.

Upcoming modifications will need to test for the running firmware
version before activating a feature or not. This is helpful to
implement backward compatibility with older firmware versions.
Modify i2400m_firmware_check() to encode in i2400m->fw_version the
major and minor version numbers of the firmware interface.
As well, move the call to be done as the very first operation once we
have communication with the device during probe() [in
__i2400m_dev_start()]. This is needed so any operation that is
executed afterwards can determine which fw version it is talking to.

Firmware interface version 8.x.x has long been deprecated and is no
longer supported (nor available, as it is a preproduction firmware),
so it can be safely dropped.
Add support for firmware interface v9.2.x (current is 9.1.x). Firmware
version 9.2.x is backwards compatible with 9.1.x; new features are
enabled if switches are pressed to turn them on. Forthcoming commits
to the driver will start pressing those switches when the firmware
interface supports it.

In order to support backwards compatibility with older firmwares when
a driver is updated by a new kernel release, the i2400m bus drivers
can declare a list of firmware files they can work with (in general
these will be each a different version). The firmware loader will try
them in sequence until one loads.
Thus, if a user doesn't have the latest and greatest firmware that a
newly installed kernel would require, the driver would fall back to
the firmware from a previous release.
To support this, the i2400m->bus_fw_name is changed to be a NULL
terminated array firmware file names (and renamed to bus_fw_names) and
we add a new entry (i2400m->fw_name) that points to the name of the
firmware being currently used. All code that needs to print the
firmware file name uses i2400m->fw_name instead of the old
i2400m->bus_fw_name.
The code in i2400m_dev_bootstrap() that loads the firmware is changed
with an iterator over the firmware file name list that tries to load
each form user space, using the first one that succeeds in
request_firmware() (and thus stopping the iteration).
The USB and SDIO bus drivers are updated to take advantage of this and
reflect which firmwares they support.

This is a one liner change to have the driver use by default the v1.4
of the i2400m firmware instead of v1.3. The v1.4 version of the
firmware has been submitted to David Woodhouse for inclusion in the
linux-firmware tree and it is already available at
http://linuxwimax.org/Download.
The reason for this change is that the 1.3 release of the user space
software and firmware has a few issues that will make it difficult to
use with currently deployed commercial networks such as Xohm and
Clearwire.
As well, the new 1.4 release of the user space software (which matches
the 1.4 firmware) has intermitent issues with the 1.3 firmware.
The 1.4 release in http://linuxwimax.org/Download has been widely
deployed and tested with the codebase in 2.6.29-rc, the 1.4 firmware
and the 1.4 user space components.
We understand it is quite late in the rc process for such a change,
but would like to ask for the change to be taken into consideration.
Alternatively, a user could always force feed a 1.4 firmware into a
driver that doesn't have this modification by:
$ cd /lib/firmware
$ mv i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.real.sbcf
$ ln -sf i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbc i2400m-fw-usb-1.3.sbcf

The definitions needed for the wimax stack and i2400m driver debug
infrastructure was, by mistake, compiled depending on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
(by them being placed in the debugfs.c files); thus the build broke in
2.6.29-rc3 when debugging was enabled (CONFIG_WIMAX_DEBUG) and
DEBUG_FS was disabled.
These definitions are always needed if debug is enabled at compile
time (independently of DEBUG_FS being or not enabled), so moving them
to a file that is always compiled fixes the issue.

Roel Kluin reported a bug in two error paths where skbs were wrongly
being freed using kfree(). He provided a fix where it was replaced to
kfree_skb(), as it should be.
However, in i2400mu_rx(), the error path was missing returning an
indication of the failure. Changed to reset rx_skb to NULL and return
it to the caller, i2400mu_rxd(). It will be treated as a transient
error and just ignore the packet.
Depending on the buffering conditions inside the device, the data
packet might be dropped or the device will signal the host again for
data-ready-to-read and the host will retry.

Implements the backend so that the generic driver can TX/RX to/from
the SDIO device.
For RX, when data is ready the SDIO IRQ is fired and that will
allocate an skb, put all the data there and then pass it to the
generic driver RX code for processing and delivery.
TX, when kicked by the generic driver, will schedule work on a
driver-specific workqueue that pulls data from the TX FIFO and sends
it to the device until it drains it.
Thread contexts are needed as SDIO functions are blocking.

Implements the backend so that the generic driver can TX/RX to/from
the USB device.
TX is implemented with a kthread sitting in a never-ending loop that
when kicked by the generic driver's TX code will pull data from the TX
FIFO and send it to the device until it drains it. Then it goes back
sleep, waiting for another kick.
RX is implemented in a similar fashion, but reads are kicked in by the
device notifying in the interrupt endpoint that data is ready. Device
reset notifications are also sent via the notification endpoint.
We need a thread contexts to run USB autopm functions (blocking) and
to process the received data (can get to be heavy in processing
time).

Handling of TX/RX data to/from the i2400m device (IP packets, control
and diagnostics). On RX, this parses the received read transaction
from the device, breaks it in chunks and passes it to the
corresponding subsystems (network and control).
Transmission to the device is done through a software FIFO, as
data/control frames can be coalesced (while the device is reading the
previous tx transaction, others accumulate). A FIFO is used because at
the end it is resource-cheaper that scatter/gather over USB. As well,
most traffic is going to be download (vs upload).

Implementation of the glue to the network stack so the WiMAX device
shows up as an Ethernet device.
Initially we shot for implementing a Pure IP device -- however, the
world seems to turn around Ethernet devices. Main issues were with the
ISC DHCP client and servers (as they don't understand types other than
Ethernet and Token Ring).
We proceeded to register with IANA the PureIP hw type, so that DHCP
requests could declare such. We also created patches to the main ISC
DHCP versions to support it. However, until all that permeates into
deployments, there is going to be a long time.
So we moved back to wrap Ethernet frames around the PureIP device. At
the time being this has overhead; we need to reallocate with space for
an Ethernet header. The reason is the device-to-host protocol
coalesces many network packets into a single message, so we can't
introduce Ethernet headers without overwriting valid data from other
packets.
Coming-soon versions of the firmware have this issue solved.

- general data transport protocol
- control protocol

drivers/net/wimax/i2400m.h defines all the APIs used by the core,
bus-generic driver (i2400m) and the bus specific drivers
(i2400m-BUSNAME). It also gives a roadmap to the driver
implementation.
