dd5512eb6b wlcore/wl12xx: move top initialization to wl12xx
The top registers initialization is very specific to the actual
hardware used, even the way in which we read from and write to the top
registers varies from chip to chip.  This patch moves all top
registers initialization to wl12xx.  Also add a boot op for the wlcore
module to call at the right time and a few callbacks with the common
called to be called from the lower drivers boot operations.

4ded91ced9 wlcore/wl12xx: move get_pg_ver to the lower driver
The PG version depends on the actual hardware.  This commit moves the

16f3eb530f wl12xx: increase scan timeout to 30s
In certain scenarios involving sched scan + normal scan + COEX

6f407e5bc7 wl12xx: adaptive sched scan dwell times
Set the dwell times for sched scan according to the number
of probe requests which are going to be transmitted.
This should fix the too short dwell time problem which
prevented some of the probe requests from being transmitted
in cases of high number of SSIDs (10+) to be actively sched scanned.
However, in the common case of having up to 1-2 SSIDs that
require active scan, the dwell time would be kept to a minimum
which should conserve power. This is important as sched scan
also runs periodically while the host is suspended and there's
great importance to keep power consumption as low as possible.

2fdfc476cf iwlwifi: move ucode error log reporting to op_mode
Error log reporting does not belong to the
transport layer, but to the op_mode loading
the ucode, as it is the entity which knows
about the ucode loaded, and what the error
information means.

Move device logging pointers from the
transport layer to op_mode.

With this change, transport layer only
reports an error to the op_mode, which will
figure out what to do with the error. This
causes the driver to now dump out error logs
when the command queue is stuck as well.

Also, move the debugfs entry for event logs
out of the transport layer and into op_mode.

e1f0c501c0 iwlwifi: simplify calibration collection
The calibration results all come in while we're
waiting for the calibration complete notification.
As a consequence, there's no need to install a
global RX handler for them, we can use the newly
extended notification wait framework for this and
make the code easier to follow.

It is now quite explicit that we are processing
the calibration results while waiting for the
complete notification, before this was implicit
and developers had to know this to understand why
we wait for the calibration complete notification
and what happens while we wait.

db662d4786 iwlwifi: extend notification wait
Sometimes, for example when we ask the uCode
for calibration, we wait for the "complete"
response while we also need the results that
are sent in other, interim, notifications.

Currently we handle this by installing an RX
handler globally, but that isn't needed as
this is the only time we want to use these
notifications.

So in order to be able to simplify at least
future code that does the same, extend the
notification wait framework to allow you to
wait for multiple commands and decide based
on the command whether the wait finished.

While at it, also fix a race that can then
become relevant -- if the wait function has
returned true once it shouldn't be called
again, today this can happen due to races
between the triggering and the wakeup.

0c19744c34 iwlwifi: process multiple frames per RXB
The flow handler (hardware) can put multiple
frames into a single RX buffer. To handle
this, walk the RX buffer and check if there
are multiple valid packets in it.

To let the upper layer handle this correctly
introduce rxb_offset() which is needed when
we pass pages to mac80211 -- we need to know
the offset into the page there.

Also change the page handling scheme to use
refcounting. Anyone who needs a page will
"steal" it, which marks it as having been
used & refcounts it. The RX handler then has
to free its own reference and must not reuse
the page.

Finally, do not set the bit asking the FH to
give us each packet in a single buffer. This
really enables the feature.

80007efeff cfg80211: warn if db.txt is empty with CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB
It has happened twice now where elaborate troubleshooting has
undergone on systems where CONFIG_CFG80211_INTERNAL_REGDB [0]
has been set but yet net/wireless/db.txt was not updated.

Despite the documentation on this it seems system integrators could
use some more help with this, so throw out a kernel warning at boot time
when their database is empty.

This does mean that the error-prone system integrator won't likely
realize the issue until they boot the machine but -- it does not seem
to make sense to enable a build bug breaking random build testing.

d2a079fd48 mac80211: fix the RANN propagation issues
This patch is intended to solve the follwing issues in RANN propagation:
[1] The interval in propagated RANN should be based on the interval of received RANN.
[2] The aggregated path metric for propagated RANN is as received plus own link metric
    towards the transmitting mesh STA (not root mesh STA).
[3] The comparison of path metric for RANN with same sequence number should be done
    before deciding whether to propagate or not.

30899cc6ab rtlwifi: Preallocate USB read buffers and eliminate kalloc in read routine
The current version of rtlwifi for USB operations uses kmalloc to
acquire a 32-bit buffer for each read of the device. When
_usb_read_sync() is called with the rcu_lock held, the result is
a "sleeping function called from invalid context" BUG. This is
reported for two cases in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42775.
The first case has the lock originating from within rtlwifi and could
be fixed by rearranging the locking; however, the second originates from
within mac80211. The kmalloc() call is removed from _usb_read_sync()
by creating a ring buffer pointer in the private area and
allocating the buffer data in the probe routine.

292c41acdd mac80211: fix the sparse warnings on endian handling in RANN propagation
The HWMP sequence number of received RANN element is compared to decide whether to be
propagated. The sequence number is required to covert from 32bit little endian data into
CPUs endianness for comparison. The same applies to the RANN metric.

70b12f2612 mac80211: when receiving DTIM disable power-save mode only if it was enabled
When receiving DTIM we currently disable power save mode in the
hardware unconditionally, i.e. also when the hardware was not sleeping.
This causes trouble with at least one wireless chipset (Ralink RT3572).
When the hardware is not sleeping and we send a wakeup command (e.g.
this happens after a scan) then a significant decrease of the link
quality or a disconnect may occur.
Disabling power save mode only when it was enabled prevents this issue.

12d3952fc4 mac80211: optimize aggregation session timeout handling
Calling mod_timer from the rx/tx hotpath is somewhat expensive, and the
timeout doesn't need to be so precise.

Switch to a different strategy: Schedule the timer initially, store jiffies
of all last rx/tx activity which would previously modify the timer, and
let the timer re-arm itself after checking the last rx/tx timestamp.
Make the session timers deferrable to avoid causing extra wakeups on systems
running on battery.
This visibly reduces CPU load under high network load on small embedded
systems.
