9308779aad b43: Add LP PHY Analog Switch Support
The current verison of b43 uses "b43_phyop_switch_analog_generic" for A,
G and LP phys.

According to the spec, this is the wrong behaviour for the LP PHY
(see: http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/802.11/PHY/Anacore )

While no problems on the x86 plattform where seen, this leads to a crash
on the BCM5354 SoC (MIPS 32 LE plattform).
This patch implements the analog switch for LP PHYs according to the
specs. It fixes the crash

96d8c6af24 iwlwifi: disable powersave for 4965
There's a bug in 4965 powersave that appears to
be related to the way it keeps track of its data
during sleep, but we haven't found it yet. Due to
that, using powersave may spontaneously cause the
device to SYSASSERT when transitioning from sleep
to wake. Therefore, disable powersave for 4965,
until (if ever, unfortunately) we can identify
and fix the problem.

Cf. http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1982
which was closed, but now has re-appeared with
IDLE mode, which probably means we never really
fixed it.

de0bd50845 iwlwifi: fix potential rx buffer loss
RX handling maintains a few lists that keep track of the RX buffers.
Buffers move from one list to the other as they are used, replenished, and
again made available for usage. In one such instance, when a buffer is used
it enters the "rx_used" list. When buffers are replenished an skb is
attached to the buffer and it is moved to the "rx_free" list. The problem
here is that the buffer is first removed from the "rx_used" list _before_ the
skb is allocated. Thus, if the skb allocation fails this buffer remains
removed from the "rx_used" list and is thus lost for future usage.

Fix this by first allocating the skb before trying to attach it to a list.
We add an additional check to not do this unnecessarily.

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.

Originally, the tx_queue_len was set to 0 for every other interface than
HOSTAP_INTERFACE_MASTER, but the new fragment of code sets tx_queue_len to
0 only for HOSTAP_INTERFACE_MASTER. The opposite of the previous
behavior makes the driver to drop all packets in AP mode.

Change the way 0 is assigned to tx_queue_len according to the original

The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC
PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason
to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,

have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to
recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users

b0544eb601 b43: Really disable QoS, if requested
Currently, when QoS-disable is requested, we would leave QoS enabled
in firmware, but only queue frames on one queue.
Change that and also tell firmware about disabled QoS, so it
completely ignores all the QoS parameters. Also don't upload the parameters,
if QoS is disabled.

4789666e13 rt2x00: Hardcode TX ack timeout and consume time
The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK
consume time are different then the values as
used by the Legacy drivers.

After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that
the calculated values caused a high amount of TX
failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers
were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to
excessive retries.

The symptoms of this problem:
 - Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs
 - Low throughput when bitrate was fixed

Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely)
 - Problems with DHCP
 - Broken connections due to lack of probe response

This should fix at least:
Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273]
Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203]
but possible some additional bugs as well.

fea6734a0e ath,ar9170: implemented conformance test limit calc. for tx power
apply the conformance test limits (CTL) stored in the eeprom upon
the values calculated for the tx power (ar->power_*).

This is based on the implementation in the vendor driver
(hal/hpmain.c, line 3700 ff.) with one difference:
If any ctl mode isn't found in the eeprom, we fall back to the "lower",
legacy modes (5GHT20,11A or 2GHT20,11G,11B). Otus only did 5GHT20->11A.

Currently CTL are applied for the FCC group only.
