When a BSS struct is updated, the IEs are currently
overwritten or freed. This can lead to races if some
other CPU is accessing the BSS struct and using the
IEs concurrently.
Fix this by always allocating the IEs in a new struct
that holds the data and length and protecting access
to this new struct with RCU.

Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type
to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel
definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just
the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this
will change.
Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so
that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the
new structure all the time, which will change.

The include file linux/ieee80211.h contains three definitions for
the same thing in enum ieee80211_eid due to historic changes:
/* Information Element IDs */
enum ieee80211_eid {
:
WLAN_EID_WPA = 221,
WLAN_EID_GENERIC = 221,
WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC = 221,
:
};
The standard refers to this as "vendor specific" element so the
other two definitions are better not used. This patch changes the
wireless drivers to use one definition, ie. WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC.

CMD_MAC_CONTROL is currently sent async to the firmware, and is sent
from the lbs_setup_firmware() path during device init.
This means that device init can complete with commands pending, and
the if_sdio driver will sometimes power down the device (after init)
with this command still pending.
This was causing an occasional spurious command timeout after init,
leading to a device reset.
Fix this by making CMD_MAC_CONTROL synchronous when called from the
lbs_setup_firmware() path.

When the interface is down, the hardware is powered off.
However, the suspend handler currently tries to send host sleep commands
(when wakeup params are set) in this configuration, causing a system hang
when going into suspend (the commands will never complete).
Avoid this by detecting this situation and simply returning from
the suspend handler without doing anything special.

On an OLPC XO-1.5 we have seen the following situation:
- the system starts going into suspend
- no wake params are set, so the mmc layer removes the card
- during remove, we send a command to the card
- that command fails, causing if_sdio's reset method to try and remove
the mmc card in attempt to reset it
- the mmc layer is not happy about being asked to remove a card that
it is already removing, and the kernel crashes
While the MMC layer could possibly be taught to behave better here,
it also seems sensible for libertas not to try and reset a card if
we're in the process of removing it anyway.

We found a deadlock in the handling of command failures/reset conditions.
For example:
1. Two commands are in the queue.
2. The first command is sent, but causes a timeout, which kicks off an
asynchronous device reset
3. The second command is queued (but not yet sent to the hardware)
4. The device reset kicks in, causing the if_usb disconnect handler to
set the "surprise removed" flag to be set as the device disappears
from the bus. This causes lbs_thread to stop processing things
("adapter removed; waiting to die"), not processing any further
commands, leaving the second queued command "in the air", causing a
deadlock.
Fix this by removing the surpriseremoved flag setting in if_usb. I can't
see any reason why this needs to be done so early. lbs_remove_card will set
this flag at an appropriate time - i.e. after all pending commands have
been completed or cancelled, avoiding this deadlock.

Fail commands immediately when the request cannot be sent to the hardware.
This solves the following deadlock:
1. Two commands are in the queue.
2. The first command is sent, but causes a timeout, which kicks off an
asynchronous device reset
3. The second command is submitted to the device, and fails. The failure
is noted but the existing code waits for the timeout handler to take
care of the failure.
4. The device reset kicks in, causing the device "surprise removed" flag
to be set as the device disappears from the bus.
5. lbs_thread notes this and enters "adapter removed; waiting to die"
mode, without processing any further command timeouts.
While adjusting lbs thread logic to handle this situation may be one way
to fix this, it seems more practical to simplify handling of host_to_card
failure so that the commands are failed immediately without waiting for
more compliated timeout logic to kick in.

Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices. Comms
devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
data transfer.
If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
receiving data. Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
middle of receiving a transmission.
The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host. In order to keep
the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
same in Linux.
Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
drivers. I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

way of surveying a channel in general, and even causes an error

As this is not appropriate as a survey, remove it. This fixes an

While I've not found a smoking gun, there are two places that raised red flags
for me. The first is in _internal_start_scan, when we queue up a scan; we
first queue the worker, and then set priv->scan_req. There's theoretically
a 50mS delay which should be plenty, but doing things that way just seems
racy (and not in the good way).
The second is in the scan worker thread itself. Depending on the state of
priv->scan_channel, we cancel pending scan runs and then requeue a run in
300mS. We then send the scan command down to the hardware, sleep, and if
we get scan results for all the desired channels, we set priv->scan_req to
NULL. However, it that's happened in less than 300mS, what happens with
the pending scan run?
This patch addresses both of those concerns. With the patch applied, we
have not seen the oops in the past two weeks.
