This bit need to be set for both RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self protection, if
CTS-to-self is used, then uCode will check the RXON_FLG_SELF_CTS_EN

When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
for 5000 series and up.
Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
initially attempted to address this:

iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000
Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.
For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self
protection.

iwlwifi: apply filter flags directly
broke multicast. The reason, it turns out, is that
the code previously checked if ALLMULTI _changed_,
which the new code no longer did, and normally it
_never_ changes. Had somebody changed it manually,
the code prior to my patch there would have been
broken already.
The reason is that we always, unconditionally, ask
the device to pass up all multicast frames, but the
new code made it depend on ALLMULTI which broke it
since now we'd pass up multicast frames depending
on the default filter in the device, which isn't
necessarily what we want (since we don't program it
right now).
Fix this by simply not checking allmulti as we have
allmulti behaviour enabled already anyway.

In preparation for a TX power setting interface in the nl80211, change the
.set_tx_power function to use mBm units instead of dBm for greater accuracy and
smaller power levels.
Also, already in advance move the tx_power_setting enumeration to nl80211.
This change affects the .tx_set_power function prototype. As a result, the
corresponding changes are needed to modules using it. These are mac80211,
iwmc3200wifi and rndis_wlan.

The driver at76c50x-usb is unable to authenticate with an AP since
kernel 2.6.31 for the following reason: The join command of the firmware
needs to be sent with the right bssid before any transmission can start.
Before kernel 2.6.31 mac80211 informed its drivers about the changing
bssid early enough for at76c50x-usb but during the development of 2.6.31
mac80211's behaviour changed. Now a new bssid is set after the
association.
This patch changes the tx routine of the driver at76c50x-usb in such a
way that a new bssid is extracted from an authentication frame and the
join command with that bssid is processed.

There are few places where ANI is started without checking
if it is right to start. This might lead to a case where ani
timer would be left undeleted and cause improper memory acccess
during module unload. This bug is clearly exposed with
paprd support where the driver detects tx hang and does a
chip reset. During this reset ani is (re)started without checking
if it needs to be started. This would leave a timer scheduled
even after all the resources are freed and cause a panic.
This patch introduces a bit in sc_flags to indicate if ani
needs to be started in sw_scan_start() and ath_reset().
This would fix the following panic. This issue is easily seen
with ar9003 + paprd.
