838e4f4492 mwifiex: improve uAP RX handling
1. Separate file for uAP RX handling.
2. If received packet is broadcast/multicast, send it to kernel
   as well as requeue it back to uAP TX queue.
3. If received packet is for associated STA (intra-BSS), requeue
   it back to uAP TX queue.
4. In all other cases (packets for AP or inter-BSS packets),
   pass packet to kernel to handle it accordingly.

006606c0bb mwifiex: remove unnecessary code in data rate configuration
1) Remove unnecessary wrapper functions.
2) Currently we don't have command to set Tx data rate, so
mwifiex_rate_ioctl_set_rate_value() function and related code
can be removed.
3) "ds_rate" filled by mwifiex_ret_tx_rate_cfg() is never used.

9b930eaed9 mwifiex: common set_wiphy_params cfg80211 handler for AP and STA interface
Add support for setting fragmentation threshold, RTS threshold
and retry limit.
Since wiphy parameters are properties of physical device,
appropriate function to set phy parameters is invoked depending
upon bss_type(STA or AP) for each virtual interface.

9da9a3b29b mwifiex: use bss_type and bss_num to retrieve priv
Current implementation, for retrieving priv from adapter,
uses bss_index. In multi interface environment supporting
different types, bss_index may not be unique.

Use bss_type along with bss_num to retrieve the priv.
bss_index is removed with this change.

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.

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.
