Casting a pointer to a pointer of the same type is pointless,
so remove these unnecessary casts.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

Ether_addr_equal_64bits is more efficient than ether_addr_equal, and can be
used when each argument is an array within a structure that contains at
least two bytes of data beyond the array.
The structures involved are:
ieee80211_hdr defined in include/linux/ieee80211.h,
ieee80211_bar defined in include/linux/ieee80211.h and
ath_common defined in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath.h
This was done using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).

This patch fixes a regression which was introduced by:
"carl9170: split up carl9170_handle_mpdu"
Previously, the ieee80211_rx_status was kept on the
stack of carl9170_handle_mpdu. Now it's passed into
the function as a pointer parameter. Hence, the old
memcpy call needs to be fixed.

On A-MPDU frames, the hardware only reports valid
signal strength data for the last subframe.
This patch fixes it by flagging everything but the
last subframe in an A-MPDU to tell mac80211 to
ignore the signal strength entirely. Otherwise
the empty value (= 0 dbm) will distort the
average quite badly.

carl9170_handle_mpdu is the final part of the
rx path of the driver. It splits the raw data
streams from the device into skb packets and
passes them on to mac80211. As a result of
continuous updates, it grew over the years when
new code was added by the following commits:
- report A-MPDU status
- fix HT peer BA session corruption
- A-MPDU frame type filter
- ...
This patch splits the routine into two stages.
The first stage only deals with the details
about extracting and verifying the data from
the incoming stream. Whereas the second stage
packs it into skbs and passes it on to mac80211.

This patch changes the way the driver deals with
command responses and traps which are sent through
the special interrupt input endpoint 3.
While the carl9170 firmware does not use this
endpoint for command responses or traps, the
firmware loader on the device does. It uses it
to notify the host about 'watchdog triggered'
in case the firmware/hardware has crashed.
Note:
Even without this patch, the driver is still
able to detect the mishap and reset the device.
But previously it did that because the trap
event caused an out-of-order message sequence
number error, which also triggered a reset.

Because the hardware reports whenever an frame
was either at the start, in the middle or at

This patch contains following modifications:
- Add mesh capabilities on fw.c to permit creation of mesh
interfaces using this driver.
- Modify carl9170_set_operating_mode, to use AP-style beaconing
with mesh interfaces.
- Allow beacon updates for NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT type in
carl9170_handle_command_response.
- Add NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT case on carl9170_op_add_interfaces to
support mesh/ap/sta virtual interface combinations.

This patch adds an alternative tx status path
for BlockAck Requests as the hardware doesn't
recognize that a BlockAck Requests is usually
acked with a BlockAck and not a legacy ACK.
Without this patch, the stack would constantly
resent old and stale BARs. So, depending on the
receiver stack, this could lead to:
- "stuck" ba sessions and package loss, as the
stale BAR would reset the sequence each time.
- lots of reorder releases.

Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.
For example, this cast:
int y;
int *p = (int *)&y;
I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user.
@@
type T;
T *p;
@@
- (T *)p
+ p
Neatened the mwifiex_deauthenticate_infra function which
was doing odd things with array pointers and not using
is_zero_ether_addr.

In the past, carl9170 has been plagued by mysterious
ghosts.
e.g.:
wlan4: deauthenticated from 02:04:d8:3c:ac:c1 (Reason: 0)
Apparently, the AP sent us a bogus deauthentication
notification. But upon closer inspection the
"management frame" turned out to be a corrupted
scrap of an unsuccessful A-MPDU.

The total/fatal error bit was erroneously prefixed
with AR9170_RX_ERROR instead of AR9170_RX_STATUS.
Luckily, the hardware specification confirmed that
the 0x80 flag will never be set for mac->error.
So, it was always just a dead branch.
This patch also imports the latest version of
shared wlan.h header from the firmware git.
