Split tx_queue_count to count per-AC skb's queued, instead of relying on
the skb-queue len. The skb queues used were only valid in STA-mode, as
AP-mode uses per-link queues.
This fixes a major regression in AP-mode, caused by the patch
"wl12xx: implement Tx watermarks per AC". With that patch applied, we
effectively had no regulation of Tx queues in AP-mode. Therefore a
sustained high rate of Tx could cause exhaustion of the skb memory pool.

During recovery work commands sent to the FW could fail and schedule
additional recovery work. Since the chip is going to be powered off,
avoid recursive recoveries.

wl1271_flush_deferred_work(), which calls ieee80211_rx() and
ieee80211_tx_status(), is called from a process context.
hence, use ieee80211_tx_status_ni() instead of ieee80211_tx_status().

Beacon early termination doesn't help much in the 5GHz band and masks
channel switch IE Beacons. Thus, change the code to use BET only in
2.4GHz.

The elp_work is being enqueued on wl1271_ps_elp_sleep, but doesn't get
cancelled on wl1271_ps_elp_wakeup. This might cause immediate entrance
to elp when the wl->mutex is being released, rather than using the delayed
enqueueing optimization.
Cancel elp_work on wakeup request, and add a new WL1271_FLAG_ELP_REQUESTED
flag to further synchronize the elp actions.

ELP (Extremely/Enhanced Low Power, or something like that ;)) refers to
the powerstate of the 12xx chip, in which very low power is consumed,
and no commands (from the host) can be issued until the chip is woken up.
Wakeup/sleep commands must be protected by a wl->mutex, so it's generally
a good idea to call wakeup/sleep along with the mutex lock/unlock (where
needed). However, in some places the wl12xx driver calls wakeup/sleep in
some "inner" functions. This result in some "nested" wakeup/sleep calls
which might end up letting the chip go to sleep prematurely (e.g. during
event handling).
Fix it by rearranging the elp calls to come along with mutex_lock/unlock.

To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to
interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up
a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more
efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler. This
handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as
SDIO/SPI transactions.
Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs
(ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a
different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O
responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be
scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance.
The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was
changed. For simplicity, always query the FW for more pending
interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the
extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables
registering the IRQ handler with the ONESHOT option.

Update the PS mode of each link according to a bitmap polled from
fw_status. Manually notify mac80211 about PS mode changes in connected
stations.
mac80211 will only be notified about PS start when the station is in PS
and there is a small number of TX blocks from this link ready in HW.
This is required for waking up the remote station since the TIM is
updated entirely by FW.
When a station enters mac80211-PS-mode, we drop all the skbs in the
low-level TX queues belonging to this sta with STAT_TX_FILTERED
to keep our queues clean.

Count the number of FW TX blocks allocated per link. We add blocks to a
link counter when allocated for a TX descriptor. We remove blocks
according to counters in fw_status indicating the number of freed blocks
in FW. These counters are polled after each IRQ.

This patch adds support for the new wl12xx firmware (Rev 6.1.3.50.49)
Since this fw is not backward compatible with previous fw versions,
a new fw (with different name) is being fetched.
(the patch is big because it contains all the required fw api changes.
splitting it into multiple patches will result in corrupted intermediate

Rework cmd and acx interfaces, it was just too confusing earlier. Now
all commands need to contain all the needed headers, either just cmd
headers or both cmd and acx headers. This accomplish to remove the
extra copy done for each command. The interfaces are now properly
documented as well.
Also try to make all commands safe for DMA transfers. I might have missed
some, but most of them should be fixed now.
And this is not all! As a free bonus you will also get some cosmetic
cleanups and code reorganisation. Order today!

wl12xx is a driver for TI wl1251 802.11 chipset designed for embedded
devices, supporting both SDIO and SPI busses. Currently the driver
supports only SPI. Adding support 1253 (the 5 GHz version) should be
relatively easy. More information here:
