This patch fixes a very serious off-by-one bug in
the driver, which could leave the device in an
unresponsive state.
The problem was that the extra_len variable [used to
reserve extra scratch buffer space for the firmware]
was left uninitialized. Because p54_assign_address
later needs the value to reserve additional space,
the resulting frame could be to big for the small
device's memory window and everything would
immediately come to a grinding halt.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

Commit: "p54: enhance rssi->dBm database import"
changed the way how the driver deals with the
rssical data. A new data format was necessary
and hence this patch.
NOTE: (for users with a custom eeprom binary)
I spent some time updating p54tools to support
the new format too: => (git available from)
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/chr/p54tools.git
It now comes with a simplistic script "n800_rssi2v2.sh"
which can be used to automate the conversion.

This patch fixes several shortcomings of the
previous implementation. Features of the
rewrite include:
* handles undocumented "0x0000" word at the
start of the frequency table.
(Affected some early? DELL 1450 USB devices
and my Symbol 5GHz miniPCI card.)
* supports more than just one reference point
per band. (Also needed for the Symbol card.)
* ships with default values in case the eeprom
data is damaged, absent or unsupported.

P54_HDR_FLAG_DATA_OUT_SEQNR is meant to tell the
firmware that "the frame's sequence number has
already been set by the application."
Whereas IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ is set for
frames which lack a valid sequence number and
either the driver or firmware has to assign one.
Yup, it's the exact opposite!

Michael reported that p54* never really entered power
save mode, even tough it was enabled.
It turned out that upon a power save mode change the
firmware will set a special flag onto the last outgoing
frame tx status (which in this case is almost always the
designated PSM nullfunc frame). This flag confused the
driver; It erroneously reported transmission failures
to the stack, which then generated the next nullfunc.
and so on...

Like other vendors, p54* devices have a checksum for
the EEPROM descriptor data. This patch enhances the
parser code to generate and verify the data fields,
before initializing the radio-chip on the card.
Note:
If you have to bootstrap an alternative EEPROM image
for your device and you don't know how to generate a
valid crc ccitt checksum, you should take a look at:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/chr/p54tools.git
The "checksum" utility loads a binary p54 EEPROM blob
(use the -f switch, to skip the check) and applies
the correct crc automatically.
