2cfa5a0471 net: treewide use of RCU_INIT_POINTER
rcu_assign_pointer(ptr, NULL) can be safely replaced by
RCU_INIT_POINTER(ptr, NULL)

(old rcu_assign_pointer() macro was testing the NULL value and could
omit the smp_wmb(), but this had to be removed because of compiler
warnings)

fd67a728a9 carl9170: use ieee80211_free_txskb
In the past, it was fine to simply call
dev_kfree_skb when it was impossible to
transmit a skb. However, with the new
tx status API:
"mac80211: implement wifi TX status"
Every loose skb needs to be handed back
to mac80211.

d632eb1bf2 USB: convert drivers/net/* to use module_usb_driver()
This converts the drivers in drivers/net/* to use the
module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.

Added bonus is that it removes some unneeded kernel log messages about
drivers loading and/or unloading.

94d55d62bd carl9170: fix AMPDU TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS handling
Previously the driver did not care if TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS
was set on aggregated frames or not and it would silently
drop successfully sent frames if possible [much like:
"no news is good news!"].

But, TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS was invented for a reason and
no tx status report should ever be dropped if it is set.

If is_main_vif(ar, vif) reports that we have to fall back
to software encryption, we goto err_softw; before locking ar->mutex.
As a result, we have unprotected call to carl9170_set_operating_mode
and unmatched mutex_unlock.

The patch fix the issue by adding mutex_lock before goto.

5829656728 carl9170: set beacon xmit power to the max
Harshal Chhaya discovered during network tests, that
several of his clients dropped-off the network. The
captured packets shows that the beacons sent by the
AP are at a much lower power than the other data
packets.

The reason for this mishap: The driver never updated
the beacon phy register, so all beacons were always
sent at the lowest power.

8f7f3b2fcc carl9170: fix allmulticast mode
Currently, the driver only disable multicast filtering when the
FIF_ALLMULTI driver flag has been just set (ie,
if changed_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI and *new_flags& FIF_ALLMULTI) or else
it will reenable multicast filtering.

But next time, this condition will be false and multicast filtering
will be reenabled, even through FIF_ALLMULTI is still set.

This mean that allmulticast only works for less than two minutes in
ad-hoc mode.  This patch fixes that to disable multicast filtering
as long as FIF_ALLMULTI is set.

24047e2c4f carl9170: Fix tx aggregation problems with some clients
Some clients seem to rely upon the reception of BlockAckReqs to flush
their rx reorder buffer. In order to fix aggregation for these clients
carl9170 should set IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK to generate a
BlockAckReq if the transmission of an AMPDU subframe fails.

This fixes aggregation problems with Intel 5100 Windows STAs (and maybe
others as well).

7bb4568372 mac80211: make tx() operation return void
The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).

Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.

Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

0b01f030d3 mac80211: track receiver's aggregation reorder buffer size
The aggregation code currently doesn't implement the
buffer size negotiation. It will always request a max
buffer size (which is fine, if a little pointless, as
the mac80211 code doesn't know and might just use 0
instead), but if the peer requests a smaller size it
isn't possible to honour this request.

In order to fix this, look at the buffer size in the
addBA response frame, keep track of it and pass it to
the driver in the ampdu_action callback when called
with the IEEE80211_AMPDU_TX_OPERATIONAL action. That
way the driver can limit the number of subframes in
aggregates appropriately.

Note that this doesn't fix any drivers apart from the
addition of the new argument -- they all need to be
updated separately to use this variable!

This patch revamps some common code-paths which are
shared between (re-)initialization and suspend/resume
subroutines. It also adds some helpful comments
about quirks and associated difficulties.

It's quite big, but it should fix #25382:
<https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25382>

And hopefully the code is robust enough to deal with
all possible suspend/resume scenarios without requiring

is operating as an experimental 11n AP and an STA
[during heavy txrx action] suddenly signalized to go

unlikely, because then it wouldn't be *active* at all!?).

Because the driver has to manage the BA Window, the
sudden PSM transition can leave active uplink BA
sessions to the STA in a bad state and a proper
cleanup is needed.

5c89569194 carl9170: support firmware-based rx filter
The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because
of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn.
Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were
left with the job of filtering.

This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive
in terms of latency, memory and load.

Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible
filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to
offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check,
RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible.

Note:
This patch also includes all changes to the

e278c5a903 carl9170: fix noise dBm conversion
Ever since carl9170 gained support to read the noisefloor,
the reported noisefloor level was pretty poor.

Initially I assumed that something was wrong in the PHY
setup and it would be impossible to fix without any
guidances. But this was not the case. In fact the nf
readings were correct and the thing that was broken
was the "simple" sign extension code!
