b26ed97c75 libertas: increase spi driver thread priority
Currently, the libertas main thread contends with the spi driver thread
in the TX path.  To improve throughput, ensure that the driver thread
has higher scheduling priority than the libertas main thread.  Do this
by making the libertas spi driver thread a low priority real time
thread.

We measured an average throughput improvement of 13%.

6bad876662 cfg80211: send regulatory beacon hint events to userspace
This informs userspace when a change has occured on a world
roaming wiphy's channel which has lifted some restrictions
due to a regulatory beacon hint.

Because this is now sent to userspace through the regulatory
multicast group we remove the debug prints we used to use as
they are no longer necessary.

Separated the MIMO tpt matrix into MIMO2 and MIMO3, adding MIMO3 support
in rate scaling algorithm. If the device support 3x3, then utilize all
three antenna (A/B/C) for tx to improve throughput.

Adding rs_switch_to_mimo3() function to allow switch to mimo3 modulation
mode from other modes(legacy/siso/mimo2). Adding rs_move_mimo3_to_other()
function to allow switch from mimo3 modulation mode to either siso or mimo2;

55a3757a57 iwlwifi: change check triggering device restart after rfkill change
The STATUS_ALIVE value cannot be used because it is cleared when
interface is brought down and will not be set if rfkill is enabled when
interface is started again. The interface can thus not be brought up if
rfkill was enabled before stopping the interface and disabled after
starting the interface.

Change the test to use priv->is_open instead, this will be set when
interface is started whether rfkill is enabled or not.

Thanks to Helmut Schaa for the suggested fix.

dce072580e p54: more SoftLED updates
This patch hopefully finishes the SoftLED code:
- It adds two more LEDs (rx and radio).
  (the FW claims it can support up to 16 LEDs,
   but I doubt that any vendor put more than 4 on a board)
- update the LEDs in a _delayed_ workqueue.
  No one reported any more crashes.
  (see: "PATCH] p54: fix race condition in memory management")
  So we can stop burning the mm code.

42639fcd44 ath5k: reduce exported channel list
Claiming every available 5 ghz channel has a couple of negative
side-effects: scanning takes a long time, and the channel list
overflows the available buffer space for netlink commands,
resulting in:

    $ iw phy phy0 info
    command failed: No buffer space available (-105)

This patch adds a modparam so people who want to see all the channels
can do so by passing all_channels=1.  By default users will see a
smaller list of channels.  This also halves scan time, from 10 seconds
down to less than 5 when using world regulatory.
