This patch adds debugfs support to brcmfmac. It provide helper functions
to setup the debugfs folder structure for the driver, which has following
hierarchy:
<debugfs_mount>/brcmfmac/<dev_name>/
ie.: /sys/kernel/debug/brcmfmac/mmc0:0001:2/
The new source file provides functions to create and remove the two
folders and a function to retrieve the device-specific folder so files
can be created in it.

Currently 4 channels are scanned per scan command. if scan request
is issued by user during Tx traffic, radio will be out of channel
for "4 * per_chan_scan_time" for each scan command and will not be
able to receive Rx packets. This adds delay in data traffic. We can
minimize it by reducing number of channels scanned per scan command
in this scenario.
We can not always scan 1 channel per scan command due to limitation
of number of command buffers. So we add code to decide number of

If scan operation is started when Tx traffic is already running,
driver locks Tx queue until it gets completed. With this logic
there is a delay for Tx packets.
This patch implements new approach to give Tx path higher priority
in this case. Driver internally sends multiple synchronous scan
commands to firmware when scan is requested by user. Now we will
make sure that Tx queue is empty everytime before sending next scan
command. If Tx queue isn't empty scan command will be postponsed by
20msec. This rule will be followed until Tx queue becomes empty or
timeout of 1 second happens. In case of timeout scan operation will
be aborted.

rndis_check_bssid_list() originally tried to check if bssid->mac and
match_bssid are equal using compare_ether_addr() when it should use
!compare_ether_addr(). This check was added by commit
b5257c952d as part of workaround for
hardware issue.
Commit 2e42e4747e that replaced
compare_ether_addr with ether_addr_equal relieved that this compare
to be inverse of what it should be.
Compare was added as response to hardware bug, where bssid-list does
not contain BSSID and other information of currently connected AP
(spec insists that device must provide this information in the list
when connected). Lack bssid-data on current connection then causes
WARN_ON somewhere in cfg80211. Workaround was to check if bssid-list
returns current bssid and if it does not, manually construct bssid
information in other ways. And this workaround worked, with inverse
check. Which must mean that when hardware is experiencing the problem,
it's actually returning empty bssid-list and this check didn't make
any difference for workaround.
However inverse check causes workaround be activated when bssid-list
returns only entry, currently connected BSSID. That does not cause
problems in itself, just slightly more inaccurate information in
scan-list.

There is frequent downlink throughput drop to 0 when operating

caused to the delay in releasing pending a-mpdu subframes in

is also a race condition where timeout handler can be delayed
to run at an extra timeout interval. This patch reduces the
timout interval to reasonable 100ms and makes sure releasing
pending frames are not skipped in the timeout handler by removing
