1214755c2b iwlwifi: support loading NVM data from file
Some newer devices will be integrated into the platform more
deeply and will not have embedded NVM (EEPROM/OTP). To support
such devices the NVM data must be provided by the platform,
allow loading the data via request_firmware() and then send it
to the device as needed.

4103d84850 iwlwifi: remove 5ghz_disable option
5ghz_disable has no effect any longer, that was changed during
refactoring of EEPROM reading/parsing. Remove it, wpa_supplicant
allow now to specify frequencies, on which device will operate.

490953ac34 iwlwifi: move firmware restart debugfs hook to op_mode
This allows to test fw restart flow. The hook in transport
layer doesn't really make the fw assert. Moving this hook
to the op_mode allows to use the fw API to actually send a
host command that will make the fw assert.

Change the restart_fw module parameter to be a boolean on
the way.

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.

aed7d9ac18 iwlwifi: disable 8K A-MSDU by default
Supporting 8K A-MSDU means that we need to allocate order 1
pages for every Rx packet. Even when there is no traffic.
This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of
compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager
and not using them will make the allocation code run faster
although I didn't really measure.
Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little
data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since
the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP
to have a big Rx window.
See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details.

Note that very few vendors will actually send A-MSDU.
Disable this feature by default.

f6b1154678 iwlwifi: add option to disable 5GHz band
There are various problems happened on 5GHz band not observed on
2.4 GHz (microcode errors, queue stuck, etc... ) . Also roaming
between 5GHz AP and 2GHz does not work very well. To workaround
the problems add option to disable 5GHz support. This will help
on environments where APs are dual-band, and devices will not try
to associate on band where issues happen.

65de7e84fd iwlwifi: clean up module parameters
For now at least, all module parameters should be
with the core functionality, so move them there,
while at it rename to iwlwifi_mod_params. Also
rename iwl-shared.h to iwl-modparams.h to reflect
the real contents.
