226eb8cd22 iwlwifi: mvm: report per-chain signal to mac80211
Instead of reporting the maximum signal strength and the
antenna bitmap in the antenna field (which is really just
for radiotap and defined differently), report the signal
strength values per chain and set the chain bitmap.

a2d7b870d0 iwlwifi: mvm: new api to get signal strength
A new API that replaces the rx signal strength calculation via agc & rssi.
The energy is now calculated outside the driver and transferred by the fw.

9ee718aa92 iwlwifi: mvm: add thermal throttling and CT kill
In order to avoid NIC destruction due to high temperature,
CT kill will power down the NIC.

To avoid this, thermal throttling will decrease throughput
to prevent the NIC from reaching the temperature at which
CT kill is performed.

410dc5aa59 iwlwifi: a few fixes in license
7000.c was released as GPL only by mistake: it should be
dual licensed - GPL / BSD.
The file that contains the license in the kernel is COPYING
and not LICENSE.GPL.

8101a7f065 iwlwifi: mvm: update the rssi calculation
Make the rssi more accurate by taking in count per-chain AGC
values. Without this, the RSSI reports inaccurate values.

d2931bbd54 iwlwifi: mvm: program DTIM timings properly
For the firmware to know when DTIM beacons arrive
we have to program the DTIM time in TSF and system
time in the MAC context. Since mac80211 now tracks
the different times (on demand), this becomes easy.

2bfb50924c iwlwifi: use threaded interrupt handler
With new transports coming up, move to threaded
interrupt handling now. This has the advantage
that we can use the same locking scheme with all
different transports we may need to implement.

Note that the TX path obviously still runs in a
tasklet, so some spin_lock() calls need to change
to spin_lock_bh() calls to properly lock out the
TX path.

In my test on a Calpella platform this has no
impact on throughput or latency.

Also add lockdep annotations to avoid lockups due
to catch sending synchronous commands or using
locks that connect with them from the irq thread.

8ca151b568 iwlwifi: add the MVM driver
Newer firmware revisions have a completely new
firmware API. This is the new driver for this
new API.

I've listed the people who directly contributed
code, but many others from various teams have
contributed in other ways.
