Allow setting of TX and RX antennas configuration via nl80211.
The antenna configuration is defined as a bitmap of allowed antennas to use.
This API can be used to mask out antennas which are not attached or should not
be used for other reasons like regulatory concerns or special setups.
Separate bitmaps are used for RX and TX to allow configuring different antennas
for receiving and transmitting. Each bitmap is 32 bit long, each bit
representing one antenna, starting with antenna 1 at the first bit. If an
antenna bit is set, this means the driver is allowed to use this antenna for RX
or TX respectively; if the bit is not set the hardware is not allowed to use
this antenna.
Using bitmaps has the benefit of allowing for a flexible configuration
interface which can support many different configurations and which can be used
for 802.11n as well as non-802.11n devices. Instead of relying on some hardware
specific assumptions, drivers can use this information to know which antennas
are actually attached to the system and derive their capabilities based on
that.
802.11n devices should enable or disable chains, based on which antennas are
present (If all antennas belonging to a particular chain are disabled, the
entire chain should be disabled). HT capabilities (like STBC, TX Beamforming,
Antenna selection) should be calculated based on the available chains after
applying the antenna masks. Should a 802.11n device have diversity antennas
attached to one of their chains, diversity can be enabled or disabled based on
the antenna information.
Non-802.11n drivers can use the antenna masks to select RX and TX antennas and
to enable or disable antenna diversity.
While covering chainmasks for 802.11n and the standard "legacy" modes "fixed
antenna 1", "fixed antenna 2" and "diversity" this API also allows more rare,
but useful configurations as follows:
1) Send on antenna 1, receive on antenna 2 (or vice versa). This can be used to
have a low gain antenna for TX in order to keep within the regulatory
constraints and a high gain antenna for RX in order to receive weaker signals
("speak softly, but listen harder"). This can be useful for building long-shot
outdoor links. Another usage of this setup is having a low-noise pre-amplifier
on antenna 1 and a power amplifier on the other antenna. This way transmit
noise is mostly kept out of the low noise receive channel.
(This would be bitmaps: tx 1 rx 2).
2) Another similar setup is: Use RX diversity on both antennas, but always send
on antenna 1. Again that would allow us to benefit from a higher gain RX
antenna, while staying within the legal limits.
(This would be: tx 0 rx 3).
3) And finally there can be special experimental setups in research and
development even with pre 802.11n hardware where more than 2 antennas are
available. It's good to keep the API simple, yet flexible.

BCM4320a devices do not return bss for currently connected AP in bss-list,
althought this is required by NDIS specs. Missing bss leads to warning at
net/wireless/sme.c:__cfg80211_connect_result(), WARN_ON(!bss).
Workaround this by crafting bss manually with information we can read from
device. Workaround is only used when device bss-list does not return current
bss, and so is only used with BCM4320a devices and not newer BCM4320b ones.
Fixes bug #20152.

The mwl8k can operate in AP or STA mode, depending on the
firmware image that is loaded. By default, STA firmware is
loaded. Allow the user to override this default mode at
module load time. This saves an unnecessary firmware reload
for users only interested in AP mode.
Also, the firmware image can be swapped to meet the user's
add_interface request. For example, suppose the STA
firmware is loaded, no STA interface has been added, and the
user adds an AP interface. In this case, the AP firmware
will be loaded to meet the request.

This hunk added by commit 66fceb69b7 seems erroneous. We don't want to
prevent suspend of the whole system if no wakeup params are set.
In the case of the usb8388 we do want to keep the card powered up even
if there are no wakeup params. This is because it will continue acting
as a mesh node.
If the mesh is disabled, it would indeed make more sense to power down
the card during suspend, as the equivalent hunk does for the SD interface.
But that's a separate task; for now just restore the previous behaviour.
