This patch removes the incomplete AMPDU implementation in ar9170usb.
The code in question is:
* too big and complex (more than 550 SLOC.)
This is enough to qualify for a new separate code file!
* unbalanced quantity & quality
over-engineered areas like:
* xmit scheduling and queuing frames for multiple HT peers
* redundant frame sorting
are confronted by gaping holes:
* accurate transmission feedback
* firmware error-handling and device reset
* HT rate control algorithm
* error-prone
Since its inclusion, hardly anything was done to fix
any of the outlined flaws from the initial commit message.
=> This also indicates poor maintainability.
* relies heavily on several spinlocks.
As a result of this shortcomings, the code is slow and does not
even support the most basic 11n requirement: HT station mode.
Therefore, I request to purge my heap of **** from the kernel:
"ar9170: implement transmit aggregation".
The next item on the agenda is: (re-)start from scratch with
an adequate design to accommodate the special requirements
and features of the available frameworks and tools.

When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still
scan to try to find the right BSSID. This makes
sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need
not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient.
Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to
ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include
a channel variable setting.
Note that this can be further improved to start
the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID
are fixed.

This allows enabling TX and disabling both TX and
RX aggregation sessions manually in debugfs. It is
very useful for debugging session initiation and
teardown problems since with this you don't have
to force a lot of traffic to get aggregation and
thus have less data to analyse.
Also, to debug mac80211 code itself, make hwsim
"support" aggregation sessions. It will still just
transfer the frame, but go through the setup and
teardown handshakes.

Local bus and USB drivers will need to do locking differently.
The original orinoco_usb patches had a boolean variable controlling
whether spin_lock_bh was used, or irq based locking. This version
provides wrappers for the lock functions and the drivers specify the
functions pointers needed.
This will introduce a performance penalty, but I'm not expecting it to

The TX status code is currently abusing the ampdu_ack_map field (a bitmap) to
count the number of successfully received frames. The comments in mac80211.h
show there are actually three different, relevant variables, of which we are
currently using two, both incorrectly. Fix this by making
- ampdu_ack_len -> the number of ACKed frames (i.e. successes)
- ampdu_ack_map -> the bitmap
- ampdu_len -> the total number of frames sent (i.e., attempts)
to match the header file (and verified with ath9k's usage) and updating Intel's
RS code to match.

Some firmware versions don't behave properly when
passive scanning is requested on radar channels
without enabling active scanning on receiving a
good frame. Work around that issue by asking the
firmware to only enable the active scanning after
receiving a huge number of good frames, a number
that can never be reached during our dwell time.

This is just a cleanup and doesn't change how the code works.
debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() return an error pointer
(-ENODEV) if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is not enabled, otherwise if an error occurs
they return NULL. This is how they are implemented and what it says in
the DebugFS documentation. DebugFS can not be compiled as a module.
As a result, we only need to check for error pointers and particularly
-ENODEV one time to know that DebugFS is enabled. This patch keeps the
first check for error pointers and removes the rest.
The other reason for this patch, is that it silences some Smatch warnings.
Smatch sees the condition "(result != -ENODEV)" and assumes that it's
possible for "result" to equal -ENODEV. If it were possible it would lead
to an error pointer dereference. But since it's not, we can just remove
the check.

To have better control over which values are used for the register

for SoC interface type, the correct RT chipset and the correct RF
chipset. This is based on the assumption that all rt305x SoC devices
use a rt2872 and rf3020/rf3021/rf3022.
In case an unknown RF chipset is found on a SoC device with a rt2872
don't treat it as rt305x and just print a message.

The driver had a join command without keep-alive restart procedures in the
channel changing code. After associated scans, the mac80211 does re-set the
current channel, causing the join to occur. This would stop the hardware
keep alive.
To make the joins safer in this respect, this patch adds a join function that
does the hardware-keep-alive magic along the join. This is now invoked in the
above mentioned scenario, and also other scenarios.

In testing I noticed that the wl1271 commands fall into two categories. In the
first category are "fast" commands, these mostly take only 0 or 1 polls to
complete, but occasionally upto 50 (giving a 0.5ms execution time.) In the
second category, the command completion takes well more than 0.5ms (from
1.5ms upwards.)
This patch fixes command polling such that it is optimal for the fast commands,
but also allows sleep for the longer ones.
