James Grossmann [1] reported that p54 spews out confusing
messages instead of preventing the mayhem from happening.
the reason is that "p54: generate channel list dynamically"
is not perfect. It didn't discard incomplete channel data
sets and therefore p54 advertised to support them as well.

Since sometimes mac80211 queues up a scan request
to only act on it later, it must be allowed to
(internally) cancel a not-yet-running scan, e.g.
when the interface is taken down. This condition
was missing since we always checked only the
local->scanning variable which isn't yet set in
that situation.

For 6x50 series, it is wimax/wifi combo device, so driver need to enable
the wimax/wifi co-exist function and send the coexist event priority
table to uCode for operation.
The priority table will be used by uCode to determine what is the proper
action it should take when co-exist with WiMAX.
For example, when WiFi runs a scan, it must own radio exclusively, therefore
will disconnect WiMAX if WiMAX is connected.

Currently the rate scale information is pointed to from the mac80211
station structure but since that is the only member we might as well make
it part of the structure. Also move the rate scaling initialization to the
init function, no need to do it when we allocate the structure. This fits
with how mac80211 deals with rate scaling information (it always calls init
after allocation) and makes it easier for us to later call initialization

To save power, don't run apm_ops.init() until needed at "up" time.
EEPROM (5000 and earlier devices) may be read without running apm_ops.init(),
but OTP reads (6000 and newer devices) require a powered-up chip.
Therefore, remove apm_ops.init() from the general path in XXXX_pci_probe(),
and call it only if device uses OTP. Once done with OTP read, call
apm_ops.stop() to reset chip and save power until "up" time comes around.

This patch removes the internal command and data buffers that the GSPI driver
maintained and instead relies on the Libertas core to synchronize access
to the command and data ports as with the other interface drivers. This
cleanup reduces the GSPI driver's memory footprint and should improve
performance by removing the need to copy to these internal buffers.
This also simplifies the bottom half of the interrupt handler.
This is an incremental cleanup: after removing the redundant buffers, we
can further improve the driver to use a threaded IRQ handler instead of
maintaining its own thread. However I would like a few folks to test
the buffer removal first and make sure that I'm not introducing
regressions.
Tested on Blackfin BF527 with DMA disabled due to an issue with the SPI
host controller driver in the current bleeding-edge Blackfin kernel. I

This value is unused by mac80211, because it was only
be used by wireless extensions, and turned out to not
be useful there because the quality value needs to be
comparable between scan results and the current value
which is impossible when the qual value is calculated
taking into account noise, for example.
Since it is unused anyway, this patch deprecates it
in the hope that drivers will remove their sometimes
quite expensive calculations of the value.
I'm open to actual uses of the value, but the best
way of using it seems to be what the Intel drivers do
which should probably be generalised if we have noise
values from the hardware.

Document what we can about the RF analog front ends (radios)
of Atheros 802.11n devices. What should be clearer now is the
what we do for old pre AR5416 and AR5418 MAC based devices in
comparison to the modern sigle-chip 802.11n solutions.
All devices after AR9280 are single chip and require less
programming -- the RF registers no longer need to be initialized
as they all have the RF analog front end embedded together with
the MAC/BB; this includes the AR9271. Older devices such as the
ones with the AR5416 MACs (PCI) or AR5418 MACs (PCI-E) have an
external 2.4 GHz AR2133 radio or a dual band 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz
AR5133 radio. These external radios require additional programming
of the RF registers.

* Ensuring we get the correct noise floor values -115 ~ -118

mc_tx_def_ant_sel=1. Previous to this we would get noise
floor values in the range -50 ~ -80. To fix settings for

- bb_ch1_xatten2_db
- bb_ch1_xatten1_margin
- bb_ch1_xatten2_margin
- bb_ch1_gain_force
- bb_ch1_xatten2_hyst_margin
- bb_ch1_xatten1_hyst_margin
- bb_ch1_max_oc_gain
* 0x8120[2] mc_mic_new_location_enable is changed to 0x1. The MAC team
suggest to set this value.
* 0x9910[0] bb_spectral_scan_ena is changed to 0x0.
