This patch fixes a regression introduced by the following patch:
"ar9170: load firmware asynchronously"
When we kick off a firmware loading request and then unbind,
or disconnect the usb device right away, we get into trouble:

Avoid that by waiting for the firmware loading to finish

Some firmware versions don't behave properly when
passive scanning is requested on radar channels
without enabling active scanning on receiving a
good frame. Work around that issue by asking the
firmware to only enable the active scanning after
receiving a huge number of good frames, a number
that can never be reached during our dwell time.

When an internal scan is started, nothing protects the

cf. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15667.
Fix this by making the short scan request use the mutex
for locking, which requires making the request go to a

The current algorithm will sometimes "detect" that
more chains are enabled than are really present in
the device because, for unknown reasons, the ucode
sends up all-zeroes signal values.
The simplest way of solving this is to restrict the
active chains mask to the chains we know are really
present on the device.
This fixes a bug with some devices where, since sometimes
more chains are enabled than really present, the system would hang.

We used to free all the Tx queues memory when interface is brought
down and reallocate them again in interface up. This requires
order-4 allocation for txq->cmd[]. In situations like s2ram, this
usually leads to allocation failure in the memory subsystem. The
patch fixed this problem by allocating the Tx queues memory only at
the first time. Later iwl_down/iwl_up only initialize but don't
free and reallocate them. The memory is freed at the device removal
time. BTW, we have already done this for the Rx queue.

When collecting tx data for non-aggregation packets in rate scaling, if
the tx data matches "other table", it still uses current table to update
the stats and calculate average throughput in function rs_collect_tx_data().
This can mess up the rate scaling data structure and cause a kernel panic
in a BUG_ON statement in rs_rate_scale_perform().
To fix this bug, we pass table pointer instead of window pointer (pointed
to by table pointer) to function rs_collect_tx_data() so that the table
being used is consistent.

Previously in interrupt handling tasklet, iwlwifi driver only clear/ack
those interrupts that are enabled by the driver through inta_mask.
If the hardware generates unattended interrupts, driver will not ack them,
defeating the interrupt coalescing feature. This results in high number
of interrupts per second and high CPU utilization.
This patch addresses this issue by acking those unattended interrupts
in the tasklet. Local test showed an order of magnitude improvement
in terms of the number of interrupts without sacrificing networking
throughput. This is a workaround for hardware issue.

When I initially stumbled upon sequence number problems with PAE frames
in ath9k, I submitted a patch to remove all special cases for PAE
frames and let them go through the normal transmit path.
Out of concern about crypto incompatibility issues, this change was
merged instead:
commit 6c8afef551
Author: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com>
Date: Tue Feb 9 10:07:00 2010 +0530
ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames
After a lot of testing, I'm able to reliably trigger a driver crash on
rekeying with current versions with this change in place.
It seems that the driver does not support sending out regular MPDUs with
the same TID while an A-MPDU session is active.
This leads to duplicate entries in the TID Tx buffer, which hits the
following BUG_ON in ath_tx_addto_baw():
index = ATH_BA_INDEX(tid->seq_start, bf->bf_seqno);
cindex = (tid->baw_head + index) & (ATH_TID_MAX_BUFS - 1);
BUG_ON(tid->tx_buf[cindex] != NULL);
I believe until we actually have a reproducible case of an
incompatibility with another AP using no PAE special cases, we should
simply get rid of this mess.
This patch completely fixes my crash issues in STA mode and makes it
stay connected without throughput drops or connectivity issues even
when the AP is configured to a very short group rekey interval.

I/Q calibration was completely broken, resulting in a high number of CRC errors
on received packets. before i could see around 10% to 20% CRC errors, with this
patch they are between 0% and 3%.
1.) the removal of the mask in commit "ath5k: Fix I/Q calibration
(f1cf2dbd0f)" resulted in no mask beeing used
when writing the I/Q values into the register. additional errors in the
calculation of the values (see 2.) resulted too high numbers, exceeding the
masks, so wrong values like 0xfffffffe were written. to be safe we should
always use the bitmask when writing parts of a register.
2.) using a (s32) cast for q_coff is a wrong conversion to signed, since we
convert to a signed value later by substracting 128. this resulted in too low
numbers for Q many times, which were limited to -16 by the boundary check later
on.
3.) checked everything against the HAL sources and took over comments and minor
optimizations from there.
4.) we can't use ENABLE_BITS when we want to write a number (the number can
contain zeros). also always write the correction values first and set ENABLE
bit last, like the HAL does.

when using a fixed antenna we should use the antenna number in all tx
descriptors, otherwise the hardware will sometimes send the frame out on the
other antenna. it seems like the hardware does not always respect the default
antenna and diversity settings (esp. AR5K_STA_ID1_DEFAULT_ANTENNA).
also i would like to note that antenna diversity does not always work correctly
on 5414 (at least) when only one antenna is connected: for example all frames
might be received on antenna A but still the HW tries to send on antenna B some
times, causing packet loss.
this is both verified with the antenna statistics output of the previous patch
and a spectrum analyzer.

arrive over the limit of 200 bytes. When we build it in the buffer
without the SSID (wildcard) we don't arrive over 200 bytes, but the
ucode still allows direct probe in addition because it has an internal
buffer that is larger when it inserts the SSID...

Recent patch "iwlwifi: move 3945 clip groups to 3945 data" exposed a memory
corruption problem. When initializing the clip groups the code was
mistakenly using the iwlagn rate count, not the 3945 rate count. This
resulted in more memory being written than was allocated.
"iwlwifi: move 3945 clip groups to 3945 data" moved the location where the
clip groups are stored and the impact is now severe in that the number of
configured TX queues is modified. Previously the
"temperature" field was overwritten, which did not seem to affect the
operation.
Fix this one instance where wrong rate count was used. I also noticed one
more location where the iwlagn rate count was used to index an iwl3945
array, fix this. I also modified one location that modified the iwlagn rate
count to obtain the iwl3945 rate count ... just use the iwl3945 rate count
directly.
