921ca03c8f libertas: add auto auth mode feature
Auto auth mode is enabled by default. If user doesn't specify the
auth mode, while association driver will first try with open mode
and then with shared key mode. If user specifies an auth mode,
auto auth is disabled and driver will not try association with
another auth mode.

40e6fa829a libertas: don't retry commands
Retrying commands seldomly works, most often the firmware is in a
weird state anyway and needs the device to reset. So it's better
to report the broken state back to user-space.

Also rename command_timer_fn() into lbs_cmd_timeout_handler(),
which better reflect it's usage.

9842c38e91 kfifo: fix warn_unused_result
Fix the "ignoring return value of '...', declared with attribute
warn_unused_result" compiler warning in several users of the new kfifo
API.

It removes the __must_check attribute from kfifo_in() and
kfifo_in_locked() which must not necessary performed.

Fix the allocation bug in the nozomi driver file, by moving out the
kfifo_alloc from the interrupt handler into the probe function.

Fix the kfifo_out() and kfifo_out_locked() users to handle a unexpected
end of fifo.

c1e13f2567 kfifo: move out spinlock
Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo.  Most users in
tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to
call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a

4546548789 kfifo: move struct kfifo in place
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation.

The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to
many constrains.  Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it.
FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles
the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory
resources.

I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use:

 - The API is to simple, important functions are missing
 - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically
 - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not
 - There is no support for data records inside a fifo

So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up
the API to much.  The new API has the following benefits:

 - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver.
 - Provide an API for the most use case.
 - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions.
 - Linux style habit.
 - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros
 - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo.
 - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an
   indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator.
 - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo,
   which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary.
 - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if
   one is required.
 - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported:
   - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size
     field of 1 bytes.
   - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size
     field of 2 bytes.
   - Fixed size records, which no record size field.
 - Preserve memory resource.
 - Performance!
 - Easy to use!

This patch:

Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object,
reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data
structure.  This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init
prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them.  This
patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

6bc61f4d8e libertas: improve function init/shutdown handling for SD8688
This patch is to incorporate Dan Williams' comments for commit:
"libertas: implement function init/shutdown commands for SD8688"

1. remove fn_init_required and fn_shutdown_required variables from
lbs_private structure. If required, __lbs_cmd() will be called
directly to send function init/shutdown command for SD8688 in
if_sdio_probe() or if_sdio_remove() callback.

2. add global variable "user_rmmod" to distinguish between the module
removal case and the card removal case. This flag will be checked in
if_sdio_remove() against SD8688 card to determine whether or not the
function shutdown command needs to be sent.

3. remove "card" from if_sdio_model structure as it cannot store
card pointers for multiple cards. Besides, it's no longer needed
to store the "card" pointer with changes #1 & #2 above.

When SD8688 card is inserted, the firmware image should be downloaded
only once through either WLAN function (Libertas driver) or Bluetooth
function (Bluetooth driver).

This patch adds function init/shutdown for SD8688 WLAN function only.

4ceb7b6ae2 netdevice libertas: Fix directly reference of netdev->priv
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.

Different to readonly reference of netdev->priv, in this driver, netdev->priv
was changed. I use netdev->ml_priv to replace netdev->priv.

87c8c72d53 libertas: convert CMD_802_11_RF_TX_POWER to a direct command
And while we're at it, grab min/max TX power from the firmware and use
that to validate incoming TX power requests from WEXT.

3b72b01d3a libertas: only enable rtap with mesh firmware
Since only mesh-enabled firmware has the CMD_802_11_MONITOR_MODE on
which the rtap functionality depends, only expose the rtap functionality
when mesh is also available.

b9e4085768 netdev: Do not use TX lock to protect address lists.
Now that we have a specific lock to protect the network
device unicast and multicast lists, remove extraneous
grabs of the TX lock in cases where the code only needs
address list protection.

e308a5d806 netdev: Add netdev->addr_list_lock protection.
Add netif_addr_{lock,unlock}{,_bh}() helpers.

Use them to protect operations that operate on or read
the network device unicast and multicast address lists.

Also use them in cases where the code simply wants to
block calls into the driver's ->set_rx_mode() and
->set_multicast_list() methods.
