One of the bytes in the mwl8k firmware command header is the 'macid'
byte, which for per-vif commands indicates which of the BSSes this
command is intended for. (For commands that are not per-vif commands,
this byte can just be 0.)
This patch adds mwl8k_post_pervif_cmd(), which will take the macid
assigned to this interface (to be done in ->add_interface()), copy it
into the command packet macid field, and post the command as usual.

Whenever mac80211 gives us a legacy rate bitmap in the context of the
5 GHz band, we need to remember to shift the bitmap left by 5 positions
before giving it to the firmware, as the firmware follows the bitmap
bit assignment of the 2.4 GHz rate table even if we're on the 5 GHz
band, and the 2.4 GHz rate table includes five non-OFDM rates at the
start that are not valid in the 5 GHz band.

The mwl8k firmware uses indices into the 2.4 GHz band rate table for
the receive descriptor channel field even if the packet was received
on a 5 GHz channel, while mac80211 expects an index into the 5 GHz
band rate table when packets are received on the 5 GHz band, which
presents a mismatch as the 5 GHz band rate table lacks the five
non-OFDM rates that the 2.4 GHz rate table starts with.
To handle this properly, we need to substract 5 from the rate index
field if the packet was received on a 5 GHz channel (and was not
received at an MCS rate).

To make U-APSD client mode effective, we must not wake up from dynamic power
save when transmitting frames. So if dynamic power save is enabled, it needs
check the queue the transmitted packet is in and decide if we need to wake
up or not.
In a perfect world, where all packets would have correct QoS tags, U-APSD
enabled queues should not trigger wakeup from power save. But in the real
world, where very few packets have correct QoS tags, this won't work. For
example, if only voip class has U-APSD enabled and we send a packet in voip
class, but the packets we receive are in best effort class, we would receive
the packets with the legacy power save method. And that would increase
latencies too much from a voip application point of view.
The workaround is to enable U-APSD for all qeueus and still use dynamic ps
wakeup for all other queues except voip. That way we can still save power
with a voip application and not sacrifice latency. Normal traffic (in
background, best effort or video class) would still trigger wakeup from
dynamic power save.

Currently dynamic ps check is in ieee80211_xmit(), but it's cleaner
to have a separate tx handler for this. Also this is a prerequisite for
U-APSD client mode which needs to know the queue frame is in.
Also need_dynamic_ps() function is embedded to the tx handler.

Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The
idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered
frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it
possible to save even more power.
Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current
implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and
hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

Since commit "mwl8k: handle station database update for AP's sta entry
via ->sta_notify()", mwl8k every now and then gets a command timeout
when ifconfig'ing a STA interface down. This turns out to be due to
mwl8k_stop() being called while the work queue item that was scheduled
by mwl8k_sta_notify() to remove the STA entry for the associated AP is
still queued, and the former disables interrupts so that when the
latter eventually runs, a command completion interrupt is never seen.
Fix this by changing ieee80211_stop_device() so that the workqueue is
flushed before drv_stop() is called, instead of doing it the other way
around as is done now. (As ->stop() is allowed to sleep, there isn't
any reason for drivers to queue work from within it.)

Like how TX reclaim is done in a tasklet, move receive processing
to tasklet context as well. This can have nice benefits for CPU
utilisation and throughput, especially at 3-stream rates.
(Use the same CLEAR_SEL trick as the TX reclaim tasklet does, to
avoid having to touch the interrupt mask registers.)

By making use of the CLEAR_SEL feature of the mwl8k host interface
interrupt controller, we can keep the TX_DONE interrupt source masked
while the transmit reclaim tasklet is running (NAPI style) without
having to touch the interrupt controller's interrupt mask register
when entering or exiting polling mode, and without having to do any
more register reads/writes than we do now.
When CLEAR_SEL is enabled on the TX_DONE interrupt source, reading
the interrupt status register will clear the TX_DONE status bit if
it was set, allowing it to be set again if a new TX_DONE event arrives
while we are running the TX reclaim tasklet, but such a new event will
then not trigger another PCI interrupt until a zero is written to the
TX_DONE interrupt status register bit.
I.e., if we write a zero to the TX_DONE interrupt source bit in the
interrupt status register when the TX reclaim tasklet thinks it's
done, a PCI interrupt will be triggered if a new TX_DONE event arrived
from the hardware between us deciding that there is no more work to do
and re-enabling the TX_DONE interrupt source, thereby avoiding the
classic NAPI poll mode exit race that would otherwise occur.
