f72fa45f7d mwifiex: remove unnecessary free_priv handler
Cfg80211 stack allocates private area for driver use in
struct cfg80211_bss. It will be freed by stack in bss_release().
Driver don't need to worry about it.

In mwifiex driver, we use the private area just to store band
information(u8). We don't allocate memory explicitly and store
it's pointer in bss->priv. Hence we don't have any cleanup work
to do in free_priv handler. Currently we try to free the allocated
private area in free_priv handler which is not correct.

This patch removes unnecessary free_priv handler.

efaaa8b841 mwifiex: use separate wait condition for each command node
Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition)
is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads
enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the
threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is
same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response
of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command
response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd
command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last
command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver
command time out is seen for INIT command.

This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for
each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated
differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag
(scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.

d85c5fe462 mwifiex: correct AMSDU aggregation check
The commit "mwifiex: remove list traversal.."(fcf2176c87..)
wrongly modifies AMSDU aggregation check. Due to this even though
packet size for iperf traffic is already large, we unnecessarily
try to aggregate them which adds some delay. If Tx iperf is started
on UUT for 30 seconds, UUT keeps sending Tx packets for few more
seconds.

That commit is reverted to fix the problem.
Also, MIN_NUM_AMSDU check is moved inside the loop to optimize the
loop.

5116f3cef2 mwifiex: update bss band information
In recent commit "mwifiex: use cfg80211 dynamic scan..."
(7c6fa2a843..) scan table handling in driver is removed to
make use of cfg80211 dynamic scan table. Now driver sends
beacon buffers found in scanning directly to stack and parse
the buffer for requested BSS only during association.

Beacon buffer doesn't contain bss band information. Driver
gets it from firmware in separate tlv (chan_band_tlv).
Currently since we don't inform stack about bss bandinfo,
there is an issue with 5GHz association.

Use "priv" field of struct cfg80211_bss to store bandinfo.
This fixes 5GHz association issue.

4e3c44207f mwifiex: put multicast/broadcast packets to the same RA
For ad-hoc mode, RA is created for each peer connected. In case of
multicast traffic new RA will be created for each multicast
address. While processing Tx packets we have to go through this
RA list. We can avoid some RA nodes by sharing same RA for both
multicast and broadcast packets.

Therefore "memset(0xff)" is used to treat multicast packet as broadcast
one while choosing RA.

5d82c53a38 mwifiex: add cfg80211 handler for set_bitrate_mask
Currently, setting only legacy bitrates on 2.4GHz band
are supported. Mode 802.11b/g/bg is enabled based on
bitrates selection. If only CCK bitrates selected then
802.11b mode is enabled. If only OFDM bitrates are
selected then 802.11g mode is enabled. For both: CCK
and OFDM rates 802.11bg mixed mode is enabled.

cd27bc3c3e mwifiex: 11n specific configuration for transmit
Currently device is not able to transmit in 40MHz in spite of
enabling 40MHz support in HTCapInfo IE in assoc req, because
11n specific FW capabilities for transmission are not initialized.
This patch adds code to initilize these capabilities.

e156103cee mwifiex: 4-byte alignment in mwifiex_process_sta_txpd()
In XMIT path, the skb that we get from the kernel itself is not
aligned with 4-byte boundary on some embedded platforms.

Had it not been the presence of tx_pkt_offset field in txpd, 4 byte
memory alignment was not possible without memmove of entire skb.
And that would have increased MIPS instead of reducing.

With this patch few memory cycles can be saved while fetching
interface header and txpd structure because of 4 bytes memory
alignment.
