This patch fixes noticed problem in noisy environments of 50+ APs
that scan fails to find the requested AP on first try, which
leads to connection refusal. second scan has empirically proven to fix
this problem in almost all cases.

We can optimize lna calculation in IRQ context by
calculating most of the value during the config() callback
when most of the value is actually influenced.
This will be required later by rt2800pci and rt2800usb as
well, since they need the lna_gain value during config().

Various rt2x00 devices support hardware encryption.
Most of them require the IV/EIV to be generated by mac80211,
but require it to be provided seperately instead of within
the frame itself. This means that rt2x00lib should extract
the data from the frame and place it in the frame descriptor.
During RX the IV/EIV is provided in the descriptor by the
hardware which means that it should be inserted into the
frame by rt2x00lib.

This patch replaces net_device arguments to mac80211 internal functions
with ieee80211_{local,sub_if_data} as appropriate.
It also does the same for many 802.11s mesh functions, and changes the
mesh path table to be indexed on sub_if_data rather than net_device.
If the mesh part needs to be a separate patch let me know, but since
mesh uses a lot of mac80211 functions which were being converted anyway,
the changes go hand-in-hand somewhat.
This patch probably does not convert all the functions which could be
converted, but it is a large chunk and followup patches will be
provided.

While it is interesting to not add last-enum-markers because it allows gcc
to warn us of switch() statements missing a valid state, we really should
be handling memory corruption on a rfkill state with default clauses,
anyway.
So add RFKILL_STATE_MAX and use it where applicable. It makes for safer
code in the long run.

rfkill is not a small, mere detail in wireless support. Once it starts
supporting rfkill and users start counting on that support, a wireless
device is at risk of operating in dangerous conditions should rfkill
support fail to properly activate.
Therefore, add the required __must_check annotations on some key functions
of the rfkill API, for which the wireless drivers absolutely MUST handle
the failure mode safely in order to avoid a potentially dangerous situation
where the wireless transmitter is left enabled when the user don't want it
to.

Add a second set of global states, "rfkill_default_states", to track the
state that will be used when the first rfkill class of a given type is
registered, and also to save "undo" information when rfkill_epo is called.
Add a new exported function, rfkill_set_default(), which can be used by
platform drivers to restore radio state saved by the platform across
reboots or shutdown.
Also, fix rfkill_epo to properly update rfkill_states, but still preserve a
copy of the state so that we can undo the effect of rfkill_epo later if we
want to. Add rfkill_restore_states() to restore rfkill_states from the
copy.

ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb internally checks that the skb is long
enough to hold the full header, or it returns 0 if not. The check in
ath5k does not check this case and assumes it always got the actual
header length which it then checks against the skb->len plus some headroom.
Change to ieee80211_hdrlen which always returns the hdrlen and keep the
existing headroom check.

cleanup the rates structures used by ath5k. instead of separate driver and
mac80211 rate structures we now setup a static ieee80211_rate array and use it
directly. no conversion between two different rate structures has to be done
any more. a lot of unused and confusing junk was deleted.
renamed ath5k_getchannels into ath5k_setup_bands because this is what it does.
rewrote it to copy the bitrates correctly for each band. this is necessary for
running different hardware with the same driver (e.g. 5211 and 5212 based
cards).
add special handling of rates for AR5211 chipsets: it uses different rate codes
for CCK rates (which are actually like the other chips but with a 0xF mask).
setup a hardware code to rate index reverse mapping table for getting the rate
index of received frames.
the rates for control frames which have to be set in
ath5k_hw_write_rate_duration are now in one single array.
