cf6da94acb iwlwifi: fix default LQ table in 5.2 band
The default LQ is filled decreasingly using
iwl_get_prev_ieee_rate from a starting rate.
Since the starting rate is already the lowest one for
a specific band it should be actually filled evenly with
the starting rate: 1M and 6M for 5.2GHZ and 2.4GH respectively.
The bug is that for for A or G-only it decreases to
CCK rates which are not supported.
iwl_get_prev_ieee_rate function is just not band aware.
This affects broadcast station which lq table
is not updated by rs algorithm

G-only scenario is not treated by this patch

iwl_get_prev_ieee_rate is removed completely as it
is not used in other contexts

The function has an unsigned return type, but returns a negative constant
to indicate an error condition.  Another error condition in the same
function is indicated by returning 0, and indeed the only call to the

f7322f8f05 iwlagn: open/close envlope to force move BT state machine
In uCode, BT state machine need to receive open envlope
command before perform calibration; followed by close envlope
command to move to next stage.

Since Linux has two separated uCode, one for init and the second
one for runtime; we use open envlope commands for init uCode to
indicate we are ready to perform calibration operation.
But for runtime uCode, we are not doing any init calibration,
so we issue open/close envlope commands to force uCode move to
"BT COEX ON" state.

This function exists to clean-up after a hardware error or something
similar.  The restart is accomplished using the same infrastructure used
to resume after a suspend.  The suspend path cancels running scans, so
it seems appropriate to do that here as well for software-based scans.
If a hardware-based scan is pending, issue a warning message since this
indicates that the drivers has failed to clean-up after itself.

cd35a39121 rt2x00: Cleanup rt2x00usb_watchdog_reset_tx
rt2x00usb_watchdog_reset_tx performs the same task
as rt2x00usb_kill_tx_queue, with the only difference
is that it waits for all entries to be returned to
the driver and for all frames the status has been
reported to mac80211.

We can easily split this task by calling rt2x00usb_kill_tx_queue,
sleep for a short period and invoke the TX status reporting
function. By adding the sleep() to the kill_entry we make sure
that even during shutdown we guarentee the entry has been killed when
the function returns. To make this work correctly the interrupt
handlers have to be updated to prevent checking for the RADIO_ENABLED
flag too early which prevents the ownership of the entry to be reset.
Additionally a check for the DEVICE_PRESENT flag is not required but
is nice to prevent race conditions when the device was unplugged.

Additionally rather then calling rt2x00usb_work_txdone() for
status reporting we let the driver perform the TX status reporting
first. If this is not sufficient then rt2x00usb_work_txdone() will
still be used to cleanup the mess.

652a9dd2a0 rt2x00: Split watchdog check into a DMA and STATUS timeout
The watchdog for rt2800usb triggers frequently causing all URB's
to be canceled often enough to interrupt the normal TX flow.
More research indicated that not the URB upload to the USB host
were hanging, but instead the TX status reports.

To correctly detect what is going on, we introduce Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE
which is an index counter between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX and indicates
if the frame has been transfered to the device.

This also requires the rt2x00queue timeout functions to be updated
to differentiate between a DMA timeout (time between Q_INDEX and
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE timeout) and a STATUS timeout (time between
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE and Q_INDEX_DONE timeout)

All Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE code was taken from the RFC from
Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> for the implementation
for watchdog for rt2800pci.

5b714c6a37 mac80211: fix offchannel queue stop
Somebody noticed this problem, and I outlined
to them how to fix it, but haven't heard back
from them. So while I was adding the state
field I figured I could use it to fix it.

The problem, as I understand it, is that when
we go offchannel while the driver has a queue
stopped, the driver will likely start draining
the queue and then enable it while offchannel.
This in turn will enable the interface queue,
and that leads to transmitting data frames on
the wrong channel.

Fix this by keeping track of offchannel status
per interface, and not enabling the interface
queues on interfaces that are offchannel when
the driver enables a queue.

fe67470ddd ath9k_htc: Enable ANI in associated state only
While scanning, ANI is triggered unnecessarily where sta is in
unassociated state. And cancelling ani work in ath9k_htc_stop
is not required.

0ec2f2724d wl12xx: remove unneeded locking
With the scan callback now being callable from
any context, these unlocks/locks can go away.
This makes the code easier to understand, since
callers of these functions must no longer be
aware that the mutex may be dropped.

As Stanislaw is working on iwlwifi scanning, I
didn't change it to take advantage of the new
mac80211 semantics.

8789d459bc mac80211: allow scan to complete from any context
The ieee80211_scan_completed() function was a frequent
source of potential deadlocks, since it is called by
drivers but may call back into drivers, so drivers had
to make sure to call it without any locks held, which
frequently lead to more complex code in drivers. Avoid
that problem by allowing the function to be called in
any context, and queueing the actual work it does.
Also update the documentation for it to indicate this.

5f33c92d18 mac80211: remove unused scan expire define
Since cfg80211 manages the BSS list completely,
this define hasn't been used for a long time
and will never be used again.
