This reverts 'ath5k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix' on the
same theory as in 'ath9k: Fix PCI FATAL interrupts by restoring
RETRY_TIMEOUT disabling'.

An earlier commit, 'ath9k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix', removed
code that was documented to disable RETRY_TIMEOUT register (PCI reg
0x41) since it was claimed to be a no-op. However, it turns out that
there are some combinations of hosts and ath9k-supported cards for
which this is not a no-op (reg 0x41 has value 0x80, not 0) and this
code (or something similar) is needed. In such cases, the driver may
be next to unusable due to very frequent PCI FATAL interrupts from the
card.
Reverting the earlier commit, i.e., restoring the RETRY_TIMEOUT
disabling, seems to resolve the issue. Since the removal of this code
was not based on any known issue and was purely a cleanup change, the
safest option here is to just revert that commit. Should there be
desire to clean this up in the future, the change will need to be
tested with a more complete coverage of cards and host systems.

The patch adds a mutex to protect the iwm_reset_worker against netdev
ndo_open and ndo_stop because all of them call iwm_up and iwm_down in
the implementation. Note the latter two are already protected by
rtnl. So if iwm_reset_worker is not required in the future, the mutex
can also be removed.

The iwm_if_free() is called before destroy_workqueue for isr_wq on
device remove method. But if there is still some pending work in
the isr_wq, the required data structures are already freed at this
point. This leeds a kernel oops. The patch fixes this problem by
moving iwm_if_free after destroy_workqueue.

We used to do alloc_netdev and register_netdev at the same time in
iwm_if_alloc. But some bus related structures will only be initialized
after iwm_priv is allocated. This caused a race condition that the
netdev might be registered earlier. The patch adds iwm_if_add and
iwm_if_remove so that the bus layer could register the device after
all initialization is done.

If we suspend with an association and then resumed,

staging and active rxon are in sync. After resuming from the

rxon. Patch fixes the bug by not clearing the staging rxon
in iwl_mac_start.

This patch introduces initial rfkill support for the ath5k driver
based on rfkill support in the cfg80211 framework.
All rfkill related code is separated into newly created rfkill.c.
Changes to existing code are minimal:
* added a new data structure ath5k_rfkill to the ath5k_softc structure
* inserted calls to HW rfkill init/deinit routines
* ath5k_intr() has been extended to handle AR5K_INT_GPIO interrupts

This patch is a back-port from aggregation testing code.
In the past, we didn't limit the amount of active tx urbs.
However, ar9170 only has a limited buffer reserved for
pending data frames.
This wasn't much of a problem with the slower 802.11b/g.
We simply stopped the full queue and moved on to something different
in the mean time. But - as you guessed it - this simple approach
stands in way for a decent aggregation implementation.

Patch fixes the bug at
http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1903
when SW rfkill is invoked by 'iwconfig txpower off',
the existing connection disassociates and led off command is sent
to the device which returns error as rfkill is 'true'.
Patch fixes this by just avoiding sending the led off/on command when
disassociated. The main purpose of the led_disassociate callback
is to start or stop the blinking.
There are three states in led
1) Always on when radio is on
2) Always off when radio is off
3) blink when associated and if there is some traffic.
In this callback 'allow_blinking' needs to be set false
when associated, as LED will be always on.
