First of all, use PHY names instead of magic numbers. It should make
configuring kernel easier in case of not enabled PHY type support.
Secondly, always print info about PHY. This is really basic info about
hardware and quite important for the support level.

Remove the control.sta pointer from ieee80211_tx_info to free up
sufficient space in the TX skb control buffer for the upcoming
Transmit Power Control (TPC).
Instead, the pointer is now on the stack in a new control struct
that is passed as a function parameter to the drivers' tx method.

b43 with open firmware crashes mac80211 because
it changes the number of queues at runtime which,
while it was never really supported, now crashes
mac80211 due to the new hardware queue logic.
Fix this by detecting open vs. proprietary fw
earlier and registering with mac80211 with the
right number of queues.

Previously the rev contained the revision read from the pci config
space and was used as board_rev in the wireless drivers. This is wrong
the board_rev is only fetched from the sprom accordingly to the open
source part of the Broadcom SDK and brcmsmac. This patch removes the
rev from the boardinfo structure and uses the board_rev attribute from
sprom instead. This attribute is filled by PCI, PCMCIA, SDIO and SoC
code.

Resolved the iwlwifi conflict with mainline using 3-way diff posted
by John Linville and Stephen Rothwell. In 'net' we added a bug
fix to make iwlwifi report a more accurate skb->truesize but this
conflicted with RX path changes that happened meanwhile in net-next.
In e1000e a conflict arose in the validation code for settings of
adapter->itr. 'net-next' had more sophisticated logic so that
logic was used.

Commit 2a19032 (b43: reload phy and bss settings after core restarts)
introduced an unconditional call to b43_op_config() at the end of
b43_op_start(). When firmware fails to load this can wedge the system.
There's no need to reload the configuration after a failed
initialization anyway, so only make the call if initialization was
successful.

Recent changes in udev are causing problems for drivers that load firmware
from the probe routine. As b43 has such a structure, it must be changed.
As this driver loads more than 1 firmware file, changing to the asynchronous routine
request_firmware_nowait() would be complicated. In this implementation, the probe
routine starts a queue that calls the firmware loading routines.

When using the bcm5354 (Soc with integrated LP-PHY Wifi) with a recent
firmware >= 478.104 it runs out of memory after a very short time in
OpenWrt after doing an active scan or any thing else where packages are
send. This was cased by a gpio misconfiguration, the firmware triggered
the GPIO pins used for buttons on some devices and that caused an other
driver (OpenWrt diag) listening for these buttons irqs to send many
messages to the user space.
This patch fixes the bug for my devices (Asus WL-520GU) and makes it
work with firmware 666.2. Now the firmware just uses LED GPIO pin
number 1 and not the button pins any more.
This is the GPIO Pin layout used on my device, see [0].
GPIO pin layout:
pin# name type
0 power led
1 wlan led
2 reset button
3 ses buttom
This is the nvram configuration output of "nvram show |grep gpio"
related nvram configuration:
wl0gpio2=11
wl0gpio3=11
wl0gpio0=11
wl0gpio1=0x02

Following Rafal request, we verified that on "modern" CPUs using one
or more workers is equivalent. Here is patch V3 that addresses the
packet loss bug in the dma engine using only one worker.
-------
This patch addresses a bug in the dma worker code that keeps draining
packets even when the hardware queues are full. In such cases packets
can not be passed down to the device and are erroneusly dropped by the
code.
This problem was already discussed here
http://www.mail-archive.com/b43-dev@lists.infradead.org/msg01413.html
and acknowledged by Michael.
Number of hardware queues is now defined in b43.h (B43_QOS_QUEUE_NUM).

b43_op_config and b43_op_bss_info_changed apply many settings by directly
writing to hardware registers. These settings are lost as soon as the core
is restarted and the initvals are reloaded. This was discovered because
restarting hostapd led to the beacon interval getting set to ~33s (see
