c30836580b wimax/i2400m: Make boot retries a BUS-specific parameter
In i2400m-based devices, the driver's bootloader will retry to load
the firmware when things go wrong. The driver currently has a constant
(I2400M_BOOT_RETRIES) which governs the max number of tries.

However, different SKUs of the same hardware may admit or require
different numbers of retries due to it's particulars, so it is made a
BUS specific parameter and different values are assigned for 5x50
devices versus the 3200 ones.

a134fd6b10 wimax/i2400m: Ensure boot mode cmd and ack buffers are alloc'd before first message
The change to the SDIO boot mode RX chain could try to use the cmd and
ack buffers befor they were allocated.  USB does not have the problem
but both were changed for consistency's sake.

384912ed19 net: Add DEVTYPE support for Ethernet based devices
The Ethernet framing is used for a lot of devices these days. Most
prominent are WiFi and WiMAX based devices. However for userspace
application it is important to classify these devices correctly and
not only see them as Ethernet devices. The daemons like HAL, DeviceKit
or even NetworkManager with udev support tries to do the classification
in userspace with a lot trickery and extra system calls. This is not
good and actually reaches its limitations. Especially since the kernel
does know the type of the Ethernet device it is pretty stupid.

To solve this problem the underlying device type needs to be set and
then the value will be exported as DEVTYPE via uevents and available
within udev.

  # cat /sys/class/net/wlan0/uevent
  DEVTYPE=wlan
  INTERFACE=wlan0
  IFINDEX=5

This is similar to subsystems like USB and SCSI that distinguish
between hosts, devices, disks, partitions etc.

The new SET_NETDEV_DEVTYPE() is a convenience helper to set the actual
device type. All device types are free form, but for convenience the
same strings as used with RFKILL are choosen.

98eb0f53e2 wimax: fix gcc warnings in sh4 when calling BUG()
SH4's BUG() seems to confuse the compiler as it is considered to
return; thus, some functions would trigger usage of uninitialized
variables or non-void functions returning void.

Work around by initializing/returning.

ecddfd5ed7 wimax/i2400m: Allow bus-specific driver to specify retry count
The code that sets up the i2400m (firmware load and general driver
setup after it) includes a couple of retry loops.

The SDIO device sometimes can get in more complicated corners than the
USB one (due to its interaction with other SDIO functions), that
require trying a few more times.

To solve that, without having a failing USB device taking longer to be
considered dead, allow the retry counts to be specified by the
bus-specific driver, which the general driver takes as a parameter.

2618ab774e wimax/i2400m: usb: fix device reset on autosuspend while not yet idle
When the i2400m is connected to a network, the host interface (USB)
cannot be suspended. For that to happen, the device has to have
negotiated with the basestation to put the link on IDLE state.

If the host tries to put the device in standby while it is connected
but not idle, the device resets, as the driver should not do that.

To avoid triggering that, when the USB susbsytem requires the driver
to autosuspend the device, the driver checks if the device is not yet
idle. If it is not, the request is requested (will be retried again
later on after the autosuspend timeout). At some point the device will
enter idle and the request will succeed (unless of course, there is
network traffic, but at that point, there is no idle neither in the
link or the host interface).

1039abbc5b wimax/i2400m: add the ability to fallback to other firmware files if the default is not there
In order to support backwards compatibility with older firmwares when
a driver is updated by a new kernel release, the i2400m bus drivers
can declare a list of firmware files they can work with (in general
these will be each a different version). The firmware loader will try
them in sequence until one loads.

Thus, if a user doesn't have the latest and greatest firmware that a
newly installed kernel would require, the driver would fall back to
the firmware from a previous release.

To support this, the i2400m->bus_fw_name is changed to be a NULL
terminated array firmware file names (and renamed to bus_fw_names) and
we add a new entry (i2400m->fw_name) that points to the name of the
firmware being currently used. All code that needs to print the
firmware file name uses i2400m->fw_name instead of the old
i2400m->bus_fw_name.

The code in i2400m_dev_bootstrap() that loads the firmware is changed
with an iterator over the firmware file name list that tries to load
each form user space, using the first one that succeeds in
request_firmware() (and thus stopping the iteration).

The USB and SDIO bus drivers are updated to take advantage of this and
reflect which firmwares they support.

Current code was assuming PM was always enabled, which is not
correct. Code which accesses members in the struct usb_device that are
dependant on CONFIG_PM must be protected the same.
