990b86f4f9 b43: Add optional verbose runtime statistics
This adds support for verbose runtime statistics.
It defaults to off and must be enabled in debugfs, if desired.
The first measurement may be incorrect, because statistics are not cleared
after they got enabled through debugfs.

91d372c0af b43: Fix resume failure
This fixes a resume failure where a signal is pending on resume
so the firmware upload fails.
This removes the interruptible sleep, because we don't really need it.
In the worst case (with broken firmware) the sleep loop will take 1 second.
In the common case (working firmware), it will only take a few milliseconds.
So we don't really need to be interruptible.

3ac64beecd mac80211: allow configure_filter callback to sleep
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.

42935ecaf4 mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue
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.

19d337dff9 rfkill: rewrite
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address
the following deficiencies:

 * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary
   rather than having one central implementation

 * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary
   contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring
   lots of code

 * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked
   internally -- the core should do this

 * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being
   asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister

 * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the
   driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally
   should be avoided

 * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module

 * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to
   depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines
   that do nothing if it isn't compiled in

 * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise
   it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead
   force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc()

 * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the
   reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS

 * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic
   operations in locked sections

 * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state
   changes -- this wasn't done before

57c4d7b4c4 mac80211: clean up beacon interval settings
We currently have two beacon interval configuration knobs:
hw.conf.beacon_int and vif.bss_info.beacon_int. This is
rather confusing, even though the former is used when we
beacon ourselves and the latter when we are associated to
an AP.

This just deprecates the hw.conf.beacon_int setting in favour
of always using vif.bss_info.beacon_int. Since it touches all
the beaconing IBSS code anyway, we can also add support for
the cfg80211 IBSS beacon interval configuration easily.

NOTE: The hw.conf.beacon_int setting is retained for now due
      to drivers still using it -- I couldn't untangle all
      drivers, some are updated in this patch.

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.

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.

08e87a833f b43: Accessing the TSF via mac80211
This allows the mac80211 high level code to access the TSF. This is e.g. needed for BSSID merges in the IBSS mode.

The second version adds locking and removes the now unnecessary debugfs entries.

Thanks to 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.
