e796643eaf rt2x00: Move driver callback functions into the ops structure
All callback functions are gathered in rt2x00dev->ops except
for the callback functions which are used in rt2800lib to
acces rt2800pci/usb.

Move the priv pointer from rt2x00dev to rt2x00dev->ops and
rename it to drv to make it obvious that it is the driver callback
structure.

ab8966ddc2 rt2x00: Add missing TSF sync mode for AP operation
Currently rt2x00 uses the TSF_SYNC_BEACON mode for all beaconing
interface types. However, TSF_SYNC_BEACON is meant for IBSS networks and
thus implements TSF merging in the hardware. Rename TSF_SYNC_BEACON to
TSF_SYNC_ADHOC to better express its purpose and introduce the missing
TSF sync mode TSF_SYNC_AP_NONE which should be used for beaconing modes
that don't need TSF merging.

8544df327c rt2x00: Don't initialize beacon interval to 0 on rt2800 devices
Activating the TBTT interrupt when a beacon interval of 0 is configured
results in an interrupt storm causing the machine to hang. Hence,
initialize the beacon interval to a reasonable default of 100TUs.

ab0ed4aba8 rt2x00: Remove set_tim callback from PCI drivers
Using the set_tim callback without managing the DTIM count and the
broad- and multicast buffering in hw, fw or the driver results in wrong
DTIM count values being sent out in beacons. Since all PCI drivers
fetch new beacons periodically and hence get an updated TIM we can just
remove the set_tim callback from these.

The rt2x00 USB drivers don't update the beacon periodically and thus
rely on the set_tim callback to get a correct TIM for beacon
transmission. USB devices still suffer from the DTIM count being wrong
under some circumstances but removing the set_tim callback from these
would cause more harm then good.

9f926fb57a rt2x00: Use pretbtt irq for fetching beacons on rt2800pci
Updating the beacon on pre tbtt instead of beacondone allows much lower
latency in regard to TIM updates. Hence, use the pre tbtt interrupt for
updating the beacon in rt2800pci (older devices don't provide a pre tbtt
interrupt).

Also, add a new driver flag to indicate if a driver has pre tbtt support
or not and implement the according behavior in rt2x00lib.

4dee32f51b rt2x00: Allow beacon update without scheduling a work
Since all rt2x00 PCI drivers use threaded interrupts now we don't need
to schedule a work just to update the beacon. The only place where the
beacon still gets updated in atomic context is from the set_tim

78e256c9a3 rt2x00: Convert rt2x00 to use threaded interrupts
Use threaded interrupts for all rt2x00 PCI devices.

This has several generic advantages:
- Reduce the time we spend in hard irq context
- Use non-atmic mac80211 functions for rx/tx

Furthermore implementing broad- and multicast buffering will be
much easier in process context while maintaining low latency and
updating the beacon just before transmission (pre tbtt interrupt)
can also be done in process context.

7486192206 rt2x00: Convert AGC value from descriptor to RSSI (dBm)
The RSSI values in the RXWI descriptor aren't true RSSI
values. Instead they are more like the AGC values similar
to rt61pci. And as such, it needs the same conversion
before it can be passed to rt2x00lib/mac80211.

This requires the struct queue_entry to be passed to
rt2800_process_rxwi rather then the skb structure which
is contained in the queue_entry. This is required to
obtain the lna_gain information from the rt2x00_dev structure.

This fixes connection problems when using wpa_supplicant
which would try to connect to the worst AP's rather then the
best ones.

fdb8725122 rt2x00: fix beacon reset on rt2800
When an interface is removed the according beacon entry should be reset.
The current approach to only clear the first word is not enough to stop
the device from sending out the beacon, hence resulting in beacons being

Fix this by invalidating the entire TXWI in front of the beacon instead
of only the first word.

Also clear all beacons during startup in the same way.

e1b4d7b735 rt2x00: Enable fallback rates for rt61pci and rt73usb
Explicitly enable the usage of fallback rates for
the transmission of frames with rt61pci and rt73usb hardware.

Note that for txdone reporting, only rt61pci is capable of
reporting the fallback rates, for USB it is not possible
to determine the number of retries. However the device will
use the fallback rates, so it might still help in the performance.

3d2bc1036a rt2x00: Fix tx status reporting when falling back to the lowest rate
In some corner cases the reported tx rates/retries didn't match the really
used ones.

The hardware lowers the tx rate on each consecutive retry by 1 (but won't
fall back from MCS to legacy rates) _until_ it reaches the lowest one.

In case the frame wasn't sent succesful the number of retries is 7 and if
a rate index <7 was used the previous code reported negative rate indexes
which were then ignored by the rate control algorithm and mac80211.

Instead, report the remaining number of retries to have happened with
the lowest rate (index 0). This should give the rate control algorithm
slightly more accurate information about the used tx rates/retries.

3f2bee2499 rt2x00: provide mac80211 a suitable max_rates value
Set up max_rates and max_rate_tries with suitable values even if we do not
support the whole functionality.

As rt2800 has a global fallback table we cannot specify more then one tx rate
per frame but since the hw will try several different rates (based on the
fallback table) we should still initialize max_rates to the maximum number of
rates we are going to try. Otherwise mac80211 will truncate our reported tx
rates and the rc algortihm will end up with incorrect data choosing unsuitable
rates for tx.

This improves throughput on rt2800 devices considerable.

3afa626a05 rt2x00: Fix TX_STA_FIFO handling
Currently rt2800pci will read TX_STA_FIFO until the previously read value
matches the current value. However, it is obvious that TX_STA_FIFO only
contains values that can easily be the same for multiple consecutive frames
(especially when communicating with only one other STA). Hence, we often
ended up with reading only the first entry and ignoring the rest.

One result was that when the TX_STA_FIFO contained multiple entires, only
the first one was read and properly handled while the others remained in the
tx queue.

Thus, drop this check but introduce a maximum number of reads. All legacy
drivers use the size of the tx ring as limit but state that the TX_STA_FIFO
has only 16 entries. So, let's just stick with the tx ring size for now.

2606e4223e rt2x00: Fix IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES handling
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES indicates that more frames are queued for tx
but has nothing to do with fragmentation. Hence, don't set ENTRY_TXD_MORE_FRAG
but only ENTRY_TXD_BURST to not kick the tx queues immediately.

ecb7cab59a rt2x00: only set TXDONE_FALLBACK in rt2800pci if the frame was retried
TXDONE_FALLBACK expresses that fallback rates were used for retries. Hence,
it only makes sense to set the flag if retries > 0.
