effd4d9aec iwlagn: do not use interruptible waits
Since the dawn of its time, iwlwifi has used
interruptible waits to wait for synchronous
commands and firmware loading.

This leads to "interesting" bugs, because it
can't actually handle the interruptions; for
example when a command sending is interrupted
it will assume the command completed fully,
and then leave it pending, which leads to all
kinds of trouble when the command finishes
later.

Since there's no easy way to gracefully deal
with interruptions, fix the driver to not use
interruptible waits.

This at least fixes the error
iwlagn 0000:02:00.0: Error: Response NULL in  'REPLY_SCAN_ABORT_CMD'

I have seen in P2P testing, but it is likely
that there are other errors caused by this.

39644e9ac5 iwlagn: unmap cmd queue's tfds as BIDI
If the driver is unloaded while there is still a host command in
flight, its tfd will be freed by iwl_tx_queue_free.
This function is called for both types of queues: Tx queues and cmd
queue. This didn't take in count the fact that in Tx queues, tfds are
mapped as TO_DEVICE (besides the first TB), whereas in cmd queue, all
TBs are mapped as BIDI.

Hence, tx_queue_free unmapped the second (and higher) TB of each tfd
in the cmd queue as TO_DEVICE, whereas they must be freed as BIDI.
This means that if a multi TFD is in flight while we unload the
driver (which is quite unlikely but can happen), we will get the
warning below.

This patch fixes this.

17a68dd7bc iwlagn: warn about buggy fw that doesn't set SEQ_RX_FRAME
The way we check if there is host command that should be reclaimed is
way too complicated. We should have a clear indication from the fw.
The fw is expected to set the SEQ_RX_FRAME bit if the frame was
originated by the fw which indicates to the driver that there is no
host command to free.
Somehow, there seem to have been buggy fw out there, hence the very
old comment.

This code checks if we have still buggy fw out there.

4245d31347 ath9k: do not insert padding into tx buffers on AR9380+
With the new EDMA descriptor format, a single descriptor can contain up
to four buffer pointers. By splitting the buffer into two parts, we can
let the hardware add the padding internally instead of using memmove on
the skb data.

3afd21e7c5 ath9k: optimize ath_tx_rc_status usage
The only flag that needs to be set when ath_tx_rc_status is called with
rc_update == false is the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag. All other
data is ignored in that case.
This flag can be set from ath_tx_complete_buf instead, so that we can
drop a few redundant calls to ath_tx_rc_status and remove the rc_update
function parameter

c6c539f023 ath9k: optimize ath9k_ps_restore
ath_hw_cycle_counters_update only needs to be called if the power state
changes. Most of the time this does not happen, even when ps_usecount
goes down to 0.

493cf04fd3 ath9k: use the new API for setting tx descriptors
With the new API, tx descriptors can be written in one single pass
instead of having to re-read and rewrite fields from multiple places.
This makes the code easier to read and also slightly improves performance
on embedded MIPS hardware.

2b63a41d14 ath9k_hw: add a new API for setting tx descriptors
Instead of using lots of different functions with long argument lists,
pull all the necessary information from one struct. This makes the code
easier to read and eliminates the need for copying data between multiple
linked descriptors.
