Introduce manual FW recovery mode. It is activated if module parameter
@no_fw_recovery set to true. May be changed at runtime.
Recovery information provided by new "recovery" debugfs file. It prints:
mode = [auto|manual]
state = [idle|pending|running]
In manual mode, after FW error, recovery won't start automatically. Instead,
after notification to user space, recovery waits in "pending" state, as indicated by the
"recovery" debugfs file. User space tools may perform data collection and allow to
continue recovery by writing "run" to the "recovery" debugfs file.
Alternatively, recovery pending may be canceled by stopping network interface
i.e. 'ifconfig wlan0 down'

When mwifiex device becomes GO, unicast traffic between client1 and GO stops
when client2 connects to GO. Reason behind this was PTK getting
overwritten by key_material command for client2 as it did not have client
mac address. So, client1 can no more decode GO's ping packets though it
responds to its broadcast packets.
This patch adds case to check for BSS_ROLE instead of bss_type to set
client mac address while configuring keys when device becomes GO.

On AR934x and newer SoC devices, the layout of the AR_RTC_PLL_CONTROL
register changed. This currently breaks at least 5/10 MHz operation.
AR933x uses the old layout.
It might also have been causing other stability issues because of the
different location of the PLL_BYPASS bit which needs to be set during
PLL clock initialization.
This patch also removes more instances of hardcoded register values in
favor of properly computed ones with the PLL_BYPASS bit added.

This patch makes the driver to report signal strength information
to mac80211 for rtl8187se boards.
It differs from my previous RFT patch:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=140155388332534&w=2
because:
- I have now a working rtl8187se card, so I could serve my RFT by myself. :)
- CCK measurement code has changed a bit, but it does basically the same things.
- OFDM measurement method is changed because the older method reported incorrect
measures, at least for signals stronger than -40dBm).
CCK measurement seems quite good. OFDM seems less accurate, but this is the
same as the "reference" staging driver dose. I wanted not to change things just
to make measures of _one_ (my) card a bit more close to what _I_ (in my setup)
expected..
IMHO results are still good enough to justify reporting signal in dBm rather than in
"unspecified" units, so this is what this patch actually does.
Results of my tests with a working rtl8187se card connected with coaxes and
various RF attenuators to my AP are:
Input (approx) | CCK meas | OFDM meas
--------------------------------------
-30dBm | -32dBm | -31dBm
-40dBm | -40dBm | -41dBm
-50dBm | -50dBm | -55dBm
-60dBm | -59dBm | -63dBm
-70dBm | -69dBm | -73dBm
-80dBm | -79dBm | -83dBm
Also some real-field tests has been done (no coax, packets in the air) for the CCK
measure method, and they resulted in reasonable values.
