cac988a682 iwlagn: introduce struct iwl-shared - known by all layers
This struct will hold pointers to all the layers, so that every layer will find
the pointers it needs when calling another layer.

Note that the drv_data set to struct device is now a pointer to
struct iwl_shared.
This solves of bug that I introduced in

	iwlagn: simplify the bus architecture

Bug description:

sysfs gets the the driver data from struct device. Till the aforementioned
patch, dev_get_drvdata would return iwl_priv. After the patch, dev_get_drvdata
return iwl_bus which is buggy since the sysfs handlers rely on this value, and
sysfs handlers need iwl_priv.

Now, dev_get_drvdata return iwl-shared. Since we have pointers to all the
layers in iwl_shared, every layer will be able to get the pointer it needs:
bus layer will gets iwl_bus from the PCI suspend callbacks, and the sysfs
handlers will get the iwl_priv they need.

In order to keep good encapsulation, we need to avoid to dereference iwl_priv
from a different layer. This is why instead of including iwl-dev.h from
iwl-shared.h, I added a forward declaration to iwl_priv. Moreover we keep type
safety while providing encapsulation.

48f20d354e iwlagn: introduce iwl-shared.h
It will hold declaration of functions and forward declaration of struct that
are used by several layers.
This will allow modules not to include iwl_priv. iwl_bus and iwl_trans are
still visible to all.

All the layers share the module parameters, move the struct to iwl-shared.h.
Also add all module parameters to iwl_mod_params instead of having them as
global static. This includes

* debug_level
* ant_coupling
* bt_ch_announce
* wanted_ucode_alternative

a294b96f25 iwlagn: use iwl_get_debug_level instead of iwl_debug_level
The latter may return incomplete information.
For example, if one switched IWL_DL_TX on through sysfs, IWL_DL_TX bit would
have been set in priv->debug_level, but since iwl_alloc_traffic_mem looked at
iwl_debug_level only, it wouldn't have allocated the tx_traffic buffer.

b38de31ffa net/mac80211/debugfs: Convert to kstrou8_from_user
This patch replaces the code for getting an number from a
userspace buffer by a simple call to kstrou8_from_user.
This makes it easier to read and less error prone.

Since the old buffer was only 10 bytes long and the value is masked by a
nibble-mask anyway, we don't need to use kstrtoul but rather kstrtou8.

2a33bee275 mac80211: fix race condition between assoc_done and first EAP packet
When associating to an AP, the station might miss the first EAP
packet that the AP sends due to a race condition between the association
success procedure and the rx flow in mac80211.
In such cases, the packet might fall in ieee80211_rx_h_check due to
the fact that the relevant rx->sta wasn't allocated yet.
Allocation of the relevant station info struct before actually
sending the association request and setting it with a new
dummy_sta flag solve this problem.
The station will accept only EAP packets from the AP while it
is in the pre-association/dummy state.
This dummy station entry is not seen by normal sta_info_get()
calls, only by sta_info_get_bss_rx().
The driver is not notified for the first insertion of the
dummy station. The driver is notified only after the association
is complete and the dummy flag is removed from the station entry.
That way, all the rest of the code flow should be untouched by
this change.

f750323009 drivers/net/wireless/mwifiex/scan.c: test the just-initialized value
Test the just-initialized value rather than some other one.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r@
identifier x,y,f!={PTR_ERR,ERR_PTR,ERR_CAST};
statement S;
@@

x = f(...);

|
*if (\(y == NULL\|IS_ERR(y)\))
 { ... when != x
   return ...; }
)
// </smpl>

8b0be90c4d b43/legacy: Remove firmware IDs
This removes the "FWxx" ID strings from the b43 and b43legacy
drivers. They were once used to match a specific driver revision
to a set of firmware files. However, this is hardly useful today.
Additionally, the IDs are not updated and maintained properly, so
they might mislead users.

8ad38d22dc ath9k_hw: Disable Walsh spatial spreading for 2 chains
The Walsh bit is disabled for regulatory consideration.

FCC limit for walsh enable is lower than that for walsh disable. So
disabling walsh bit will not limit tx power/affect tx power even in
cases where we are not FCC limited (most client cards). If the tx
power is not FCC limited, then enabling/disabling walsh bit will
not affect Avg. EVM/overall performance in any visible manner.

a35e278022 ath9k: Change rate control to use legacy rate as last MRR
In congested network, having all rate reties at MCS rates
is failing to transmit the frame offenly. By the time reaching
the success rate set, the application gets timed out. One such
scenario is that authentication time out during 4-Way handshake.
This patch uses a legacy rate as last retry sequnce for
unaggregated frames or if the first selected rate's PER is ~80%
of max limit. And also observed from the tx status that the frame
was trasmitted successfully by using legacy rates.
