4e3243f549 iwlwifi: name change from signal protection flag
This bit need to be set for both RTS/CTS or CTS-to-self protection, if
CTS-to-self is used, then uCode will  check the RXON_FLG_SELF_CTS_EN
status. Change the name from TX_CMD_FLG_RTS_CTS_MSK to TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
to match the behavior of the bit setting.

Also update comments to reflect which hardware uses which of the TX command
flags.

062bee448b iwlwifi: set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK in tx_flag
When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
for 5000 series and up.

Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
initially attempted to address this:

    iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000

    Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
    protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
    Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
    especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
    TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.

For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self
protection.

f43084498b iwlwifi: do not clear data after chain noise calib
Chain noise calibration data are cleared after the calibration is done
in iwlagn_gain_computation() and iwl4965_gain_computation(). This cause
the debugfs entries for those data useless. To provide valid debugging
info, clear those data right before starting the calibration instead.

1808972f16 iwlwifi: enable remaining 6000 Gen2 devices
This patch enables all remaining 6000 series Gen2 devices.
To work-around a firmware crash problem, we disable sending
bt coex command for 6000g2b series devices.

65b52bde68 iwlwifi: make BT coex config a virtual method
Some future hardware will require a different command to
be sent for bluetooth coexist, so make this a virtual
method that can be changed on a per-device basis.

b6e4c55aae iwlwifi: trigger scan synchronously
Scan requesting doesn't need to be asynchronous
since all code paths leading up to it can sleep.
Make the scan request a new util operation that
is hw-specific (to account for 3945 vs. agn)
and call it right in place.

This patch moves a lot of code into iwlagn as
it need not be in iwlcore.

b744cb79ae iwlwifi: code cleanup for generic defines
Some defines used by all agn devices, but the definitions were in
iwl-4965-hw.h, move those to iwl-agn-hw.h which is the better place for
those.

510cb791ab iwlwifi: remove non-exist extern functions and structures
After re-structure the agn files layout and move all the
agn shared functions out from iwl-5000.c, all those functions and data
structures do not need to be declare "extern" from iwl-5000.c in
iwl-dev.h.
