ea196fdbb9 iwlwifi: fix and describe iwl_adjust_beacon_interval
The iwl_adjust_beacon_interval function is a bit
of black magic, so add comments to it describing
what it does. Also, in the case when there's no
beacon interval set, program the default into
the device (instead of adjusting, which results
in the max) since using the max in that case
interacts badly with dual-mode/PAN parameters.

Also update the PAN parameters accordingly and
use the same constant as here.

cf6da94acb iwlwifi: fix default LQ table in 5.2 band
The default LQ is filled decreasingly using
iwl_get_prev_ieee_rate from a starting rate.
Since the starting rate is already the lowest one for
a specific band it should be actually filled evenly with
the starting rate: 1M and 6M for 5.2GHZ and 2.4GH respectively.
The bug is that for for A or G-only it decreases to
CCK rates which are not supported.
iwl_get_prev_ieee_rate function is just not band aware.
This affects broadcast station which lq table
is not updated by rs algorithm

G-only scenario is not treated by this patch

iwl_get_prev_ieee_rate is removed completely as it
is not used in other contexts

The function has an unsigned return type, but returns a negative constant

f7322f8f05 iwlagn: open/close envlope to force move BT state machine
In uCode, BT state machine need to receive open envlope
command before perform calibration; followed by close envlope
command to move to next stage.

Since Linux has two separated uCode, one for init and the second
one for runtime; we use open envlope commands for init uCode to
indicate we are ready to perform calibration operation.
But for runtime uCode, we are not doing any init calibration,
so we issue open/close envlope commands to force uCode move to
"BT COEX ON" state.

This function exists to clean-up after a hardware error or something
similar.  The restart is accomplished using the same infrastructure used
to resume after a suspend.  The suspend path cancels running scans, so
it seems appropriate to do that here as well for software-based scans.
If a hardware-based scan is pending, issue a warning message since this
indicates that the drivers has failed to clean-up after itself.

cd35a39121 rt2x00: Cleanup rt2x00usb_watchdog_reset_tx
rt2x00usb_watchdog_reset_tx performs the same task
as rt2x00usb_kill_tx_queue, with the only difference
is that it waits for all entries to be returned to
the driver and for all frames the status has been
reported to mac80211.

We can easily split this task by calling rt2x00usb_kill_tx_queue,
sleep for a short period and invoke the TX status reporting
function. By adding the sleep() to the kill_entry we make sure
that even during shutdown we guarentee the entry has been killed when
the function returns. To make this work correctly the interrupt
handlers have to be updated to prevent checking for the RADIO_ENABLED
flag too early which prevents the ownership of the entry to be reset.
Additionally a check for the DEVICE_PRESENT flag is not required but
is nice to prevent race conditions when the device was unplugged.

Additionally rather then calling rt2x00usb_work_txdone() for
status reporting we let the driver perform the TX status reporting
first. If this is not sufficient then rt2x00usb_work_txdone() will
still be used to cleanup the mess.

652a9dd2a0 rt2x00: Split watchdog check into a DMA and STATUS timeout
The watchdog for rt2800usb triggers frequently causing all URB's
to be canceled often enough to interrupt the normal TX flow.
More research indicated that not the URB upload to the USB host
were hanging, but instead the TX status reports.

To correctly detect what is going on, we introduce Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE
which is an index counter between Q_INDEX_DONE and Q_INDEX and indicates
if the frame has been transfered to the device.

This also requires the rt2x00queue timeout functions to be updated
to differentiate between a DMA timeout (time between Q_INDEX and
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE timeout) and a STATUS timeout (time between
Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE and Q_INDEX_DONE timeout)

All Q_INDEX_DMA_DONE code was taken from the RFC from
Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> for the implementation
for watchdog for rt2800pci.

a908a74382 rt2x00: Rename txentry_desc.queue -> txentry_desc.qid
Variables containing queue ids are called qid everywhere else, hence
rename the queue field in txentry_desc to qid as well.

56363ddeee ath9k: fix spurious MIC failure reports
According to the hardware documentation, the MIC failure bit is only
valid if the frame was decrypted using a valid TKIP key and is not a
fragment.
In some setups I've seen hardware-reported MIC failures on an AP that
was configured for CCMP only, so it's clear that additional checks are
necessary.

9df86e2e70 wl1251: Fix queue stopping/waking for TX path
This patch was adapted from 06f7bc7db7
(from linus's linux-2.6 tree of kernel.org)

here's the original message:
    The queue stopping/waking functionality was broken in a way that could
    cause huge latencies in TX transfers and even cause the TX to stall in the
    right circumstances. Correct these problems.

391a200a89 mac80211: Do not generate CQM events based on first Beacon frames
The signal strength value in a single RX frame is not that reliable,
so it is better to delay start of CQM events until there is a real
average signal strength from more than a single Beacon frame
available.

3ba06c6fbd mac80211: Fix signal strength average initialization for CQM events
The ave_beacon_signal value uses 1/16 dB unit and as such, must be
initialized with the signal level of the first Beacon frame multiplied
by 16. This fixes an issue where the initial CQM events are reported
incorrectly with a burst of events while the running average
approaches the correct value after the incorrect initialization. This
could cause user space -based roaming decision process to get quite
confused at the moment when we would like to go through authentication
and DHCP.

42da2f948d wireless extensions: fix kernel heap content leak
Wireless extensions have an unfortunate, undocumented
requirement which requires drivers to always fill
iwp->length when returning a successful status. When
a driver doesn't do this, it leads to a kernel heap
content leak when userspace offers a larger buffer
than would have been necessary.

Arguably, this is a driver bug, as it should, if it
returns 0, fill iwp->length, even if it separately
indicated that the buffer contents was not valid.

However, we can also at least avoid the memory content
leak if the driver doesn't do this by setting the iwp
length to max_tokens, which then reflects how big the
buffer is that the driver may fill, regardless of how
big the userspace buffer is.

To illustrate the point, this patch also fixes a
corresponding cfg80211 bug (since this requirement
isn't documented nor was ever pointed out by anyone
during code review, I don't trust all drivers nor
all cfg80211 handlers to implement it correctly).

071249b1d5 mac80211: delete work timer
The new workqueue changes helped me find this bug
that's been lingering since the changes to the work
processing in mac80211 -- the work timer is never
deleted properly. Do that to avoid having it fire
after all data structures have been freed. It can't
be re-armed because all it will do, if running, is
schedule the work, but that gets flushed later and
won't have anything to do since all work items are
gone by now (by way of interface removal).

f880c2050f p54: fix tx feedback status flag check
Michael reported that p54* never really entered power
save mode, even tough it was enabled.

It turned out that upon a power save mode change the
firmware will set a special flag onto the last outgoing
frame tx status (which in this case is almost always the
designated PSM nullfunc frame). This flag confused the
driver; It erroneously reported transmission failures
to the stack, which then generated the next nullfunc.
and so on...
