cdfd2c5cff rt2x00: Move watchdog work to kernel work_queue
The watchdog function must run on a work_queue
which is independent of any other work inside rt2x00.

The main reasons, being that a broken work on the mac80211
work_queue can otherwise prevent the watchdog to run (while
in fact the watchdog could fix the issue). And on the other
hand because the watchdog relies on the completion of the
completion handlers for RX/TX which for the USB case, occur
on the mac80211 workqueue.

This fixes some "Queue %d failed to flush" errors, which were
caused by the watchdog function waiting on the completion
handler which was scheduled to run right after the watchdog.

85f4d6488c rt2x00: Antenna diversity does not work in 2.6.35
The test if antenna diversity is at all enabled uses a local variable
'flags' to prepare the test condition, but uses 'ant->flags' when the test
is evaluated. The effect is that the diversity evaluation will never start.
I can see two solutions, use the 'flag' in the test condition or revert the
local flag change. My attached patch took alternative two.

Then the evaluation start but it will still not switch antenna. The problem
is a code section in rt2x00lib_config_antenna (). The effect of that code
section is that any change the diversity function perform will be
effectively shorten and no antenna selection command issued. The attached
patch will filter out any ANTENNA_SW_DIVERSITY setting but forward all
other

c965c74bbc rt2x00: Implement watchdog monitoring
Implement watchdog monitoring for USB devices (PCI support can
be added later). This will determine if URBs being uploaded to
the hardware are actually returning. Both rt2500usb and rt2800usb
have shown that URBs being uploaded can remain hanging without
being released by the hardware.
By using this watchdog, a queue can be reset when this occurs.
For rt2800usb it has been tested that the connection is preserved
even though this interruption.

223dcc2659 rt2x00: Fix vgc_level_reg handling
Currently vgc_level_reg and vgc_level are equal to eachother,
while the purpose of vgc_level_reg is the value last written
to the register and is remembered through link tuning resets.
The vgc_level is the currently active level, which is
reset during link tuning resets.

The usage of these variables depends on the drivers, some drivers
need both, while others need only one of the two.

27df2a9ce9 rt2x00: Rename CONFIG_DISABLE_LINK_TUNING
Rename CONFIG_DISABLE_LINK_TUNING to DRIVER_SUPPORT_LINK_TUNING
Link tuning support is not only based on EEPROM decisions, but
also if the device actually supports it.

Currently only rt2500usb doesn't support link tuning because
of hardware problems. But rt2800usb is also suspected of having
problems with link tuning.

8654b79f9c rt2x00: Disable link tuning in AP mode
Since the link tuning is based on average RSSI values taken from all received
frames it doesn't make sense to enable it in AP mode where every associated
station provides independent RSSI values. Furthermore the legacy drivers
don't enable link tuning in AP mode as well.

9c9a0d145f rt2x00: Update copyright statements.
As mentioned on the linux-wireless mailing list, the current copyright
statements in the rt2x00 are meaningless, as the rt2x00 project is
not even a formal legal entity. Therefore it is better to replace
the existing copyright statements with copyright statements for the
people that actually wrote the code.

Note: Updated to the best of my knowledge with respect to who
contributed considerable amounts of code.

66679a65ef rt2x00: Fix rounding errors in RSSI average calculation
Small changes in signal level was not detected up by the
MOVING_AVERAGE() due to a rounding error, using 'int' type.

rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity_eval:
rssi:	  -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62 -62
rssi_avg: -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57 -57

The signal level reported back could be significantly (5dBm)
different from the actual value. A level +3dBm is the same as
double the AP output power.

193df183b1 rt2x00: Fix quality houskeeping for software diversity
Antanna quality statistics is not handled correctly, which leads to
software diversity being shutdown completly.

The main problem is that during antenna diversity statistics can
be reset resulting in loosing the signal strength just before
evaluation.

rssi history is not updated correctly leading to incorrect comparison
material for basing antenna switching on.

42935ecaf4 mac80211: redefine usage of the mac80211 workqueue
The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.

We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:

  * ieee80211_queue_work()
  * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()

These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.

Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

eb87eaac52 rt2x00: Don't alter rt2x00dev->default_ant
rt2x00dev->default_ant should be initialized once by the driver,
and should not be changed afterwards. Because rt2x00lib_config_antenna()
was using a reference to the struct antenna_setup it actually had the oppurtunity
to change the default antenna setting and it actually did that during the validation.

Instead of passing a pointer to antenna_setup the entire structure should be copied.

64abd80330 rt2x00: Fix SW antenna diversity
Software antenna tuning is broken because of an function
ordering problem during rt2x00link_tuner().

rt2x00link_precalculate_signal()
rt2x00leds_led_quality()
rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity()

rt2x00link_precalculate_signal() will reset the quality TX/RX counters,
however rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() requires the RX counter to
see what RSSI value must be used for a particular antenna.
We can't change the ordering since rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity() might
reset other statistics which are needed by the function called earlier.

Move the reset of the quality TX/RX counters into a seperate function
and move the call to after rt2x00lib_antenna_diversity().

5352ff6510 rt2x00: Restrict interface between rt2x00link and drivers
Restrict drivers to only access link_qual structure during
link tuning. The contents of these fields are for the drivers
and all fields are allowed to be changed to values the driver
considers correct.

This means that some fields need to be moved outside of this
structure to restrict access only to rt2x00link itself.
This allows some code to be moved outside of the rt2x00.h header
and into rt2x00link.c.
