10b6b80145 rt2x00: Fix queue index handling
When Q_INDEX is increased, the queue->length should be increased,
only when Q_INDEX_DONE is increased should queue_length be descreased.

5957da4c6e rt2x00: Move beacon and atim queue defines into rt2x00
As Johannes Berg indicated the BEACON and AFTER_BEACON
queue indeces in mac80211 should be removed because they
are too hardware specific. This patch adds the queue index
defines into rt2x00queue.h and removes the dependency of
the defines inside mac80211.h.

Also move rt2x00pci_beacon_update() into rt2400pci and
rt2500pci individually since it is no longer a generic
function since rt61 and rt2800 no longer use that.

6bb40dd13b rt2x00: Add per-interface structure
Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.

Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.

Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces

At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
will be very unlikely.

Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
mode interfaces are currently active.

The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
often called together since they all belong to the interface
configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
the configuration handler as well.

9404ef34e4 rt2x00: Driver requiring firmware should select crc algo
The driver should select what CRC algorithm is required
when performing a checksum on the firmware.

rt61pci & rt73usb require crc-itu-t
rt2800pci & rt2800usb require crc-ccitt

Legacy 2800pci/usb driver uses crc-itu-t + bit order reversion,
but that is just inefficient especially since the end result is
the same as a different algorithm which is also available as library. ;)

181d6902b6 rt2x00: Queue handling overhaul
This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
renames "ring" to "queues".

Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.

Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
system of the queue.

Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
code readability.

rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
structure.

rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.

Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect
beacon handling or beacon related code.

- requests by mac80211 to low-level driver to start/stop Tx aggregation.
  notice that low level driver responds now with Starting Sequence Number.
- async feedback by low-level to mac80211 to inform that HW is ready for
  next A-MPDU Tx state.

This adds printk messages with basic information about the driver being loaded.
This information includes a summary of the compiled-in features, which
simplifies bug-reporting and debugging a lot.
Also a firmware ID is printed. This is a unique identifier blob for a specific
version of the firmware. This ID is attached to a specific version of the firmware
blob in b43-fwcutter (see fwcutter git).
This helps users to select the right firmware for their device.
This also makes it possible to use automated scripts to fetch and extract the right
firmware for the driver. (The script will grep the .ko for the "Firmware-ID: xxx" string.)
While the driver might still support other versions of the firmware for backward
compatibility, this will always print out the officially supported version, which
people _should_ use.

588e6cdfcc b43: Fix firmware load message level
The firmware version information should always get printed. Not only
on a debug build.

26bc783f8c b43: Add driver load messages
This adds printk messages with basic information about the driver being loaded.
This information includes a summary of the compiled-in features, which
simplifies bug-reporting and debugging a lot.
Also a firmware ID is printed. This is a unique identifier blob for a specific
version of the firmware. This ID is attached to a specific version of the firmware
blob in b43-fwcutter (see fwcutter git).
This helps users to select the right firmware for their device.
This also makes it possible to use automated scripts to fetch and extract the right
firmware for the driver. (the script will grep the .ko for the "Firmware-ID: xxx" string.
While the driver might still support other versions of the firmware for backward
compatibility, this will always print out the officially supported version, which
people _should_ use.

8e118f0ed8 b43legacy: fix DMA for 30/32-bit DMA engines
This checks if the DMA address is bigger than what the controller can manage.
It will reallocate the buffers in the GFP_DMA zone in that case.

The patch by Michael Buesch has been ported to b43legacy.
Thanks to Matti Viljanen for reporting this.

d68ab68066 iwlwifi: earlier rx allocation
Value of count is used to decide when to replenish rx buffers. If it is
equal or above 8 we replenish the buffers. Ensure there is no starvation
by initializing count to 8 - thus forcing replenish at first iteration.

This is helpful when rx receives batches of buffers smaller than 8.
