ac1044628d rt2x00: Use ieee80211 fc handlers
With the introduction of the ieee80211 fc handlers
we can now remove the rt2x00.h versions to use the
global versions.

a9f853ddd3 rt2x00: Rework alignment check.
Rework the alignment check in rt2x00dev.c to be independent of any
potential alignment measures that may be taken before. Just check
whether the payload is aligned based on the pointer addresses.

Note: This is preparatory for the dynamically mapped skb buffers
for the PCI drivers, as these need 4-byte alignment instead of the
currently enforced offset by 2 bytes.

a26cbc6508 rt2x00: Fix double usage of skb->cb in USB RX path.
It is not safe to use the skb->cb area for both the rxd and
skb_frame_desc data at the same time, while they occupy an overlapping
piece of memory. This can lead to hard to trace crashes as pointers
within skb_frame_desc are pointing into nowhere, or the rxd data is
overwritten with non-sense.

Fix it by copying the rxd to a small buffer on the stack.

239c249d06 rt2x00: Centralize RX packet alignment handling in rt2x00lib.
When rt2x00pci will be switched over to dynamically mapped skb's
instead of statically allocated DMA buffers, it no longer can handle
alignment of RX packets in a copy step, and needs to implement the
same scheme as rt2x00usb does.

In order to make the patch on dynamically mapped skb's smaller,
already centralize the alignment handling into rt2x00lib. This allows
us to move more code in rt2x00lib, and thus remove code duplication
between rt2x00usb and rt2x00pci.

b869767b6f rt2x00: Don't kick TX queue after each frame
TX queues shouldn't be kicked after each frame that is put into the
queue.  This could cause problems during RTS and CTS-to-self as well
as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be
send out in a single burst. Off course we shouldn't let the queue fill
up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached,
will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame.

In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way
that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when
it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

9dad92b9ba rt2x00: Calculate register offset during compile time
By using __ffs() the register offsets were always calculated
at run-time which all FIELD32/FIELD16 definitions were builtin
constants. This means we can heavily optimize the register handling
by allowing GCC to do all the work during compilation.

Add some compile_ffs() macros to perform the calculation at
compile time. After this each rt2x00 module size is reduced
by ~2500 bytes. And the stack size of several functions is reduced
as well which further limits the number of rt2x00 results in
'make checkstack'.

      instead of providing it as seperate patch.

7050ec821c rt2x00: Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc()
Split rt2x00lib_write_tx_desc() up into a TX descriptor initializor
and TX descriptor writer.

This split is required to properly allow mac80211 to move its
tx_control structure into the skb->cb array.
The rt2x00queue_create_tx_descriptor() function will read all tx control
information and convert it into a rt2x00 TX descriptor information structure.
After that function is complete, we have all information we needed from the
tx control structure and are free to start writing into the skb->cb array
for our own purposes.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_descriptor() will be in charge of really sending
the TX descriptor to the hardware and kicking the TX queue.

4de36fe5ab rt2x00: Only initialize the minimum needed fields of PCI TX descriptors.
In preparation of replacing the statically allocated data DMA buffers with DMA-mapped
skb's we need to change the TXD handling of the PCI drivers, by moving the programming
of the buffer address fields to the actual TXD writing at TX time, instead of at start-up
time.

70a9610943 rt2x00: Preserve descriptor information after memmove()
Due to usage of memmove() in rt2x00usb the descriptor can become
corrupted because it is being overwritten by the data part.
Overall having the descriptor in front of the frame is a bad idea,
we can however use the skb->cb array for this task, since that
contains more then enough room to hold the entire descriptor and
preserve the information long enough.

After this we can also cleanup the alignment code a bit to make it
work a bit more flexible to allow for all kinds of odd header lengths.

61448f8807 rt2x00: Fix queue related oops in case of deselected mac80211 multi-queue feature.
With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.

The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.

Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
inside a mac80211 structure.

61486e0f68 rt2x00: Remove ieee80211_tx_control argument from write_tx_desc()
Move the last remaining information details read from ieee80211_tx_control
in the drivers to the txentry_desc structure. After this we can
remove ieee80211_tx_control from the argument list for the callback function,
which makes it easier when the control information is moved into skb->cb

fb55f4d1fa rt2x00: Fix TX status reporting
The tx_status enumeration was broken since the introduction
of rt61pci. That driver uses different values to report the
status of the tx action.
This would lead to frames that were reported as success but
actually failed to be send out, or frames that were neither
successfull or failure which were reported as failure.

Fix this by change the TX status reporting and more explicitely
check for failure or success. Note that a third possibility is
added "unknown". Not all hardware (USB) can report the actual
TX status, for rt61pci some frames will receive this status
because the TXdone handler is never called for those frames.
This unknown will now be handled as neither success or failure,
so we no longer increment the failure counter while this conclusion
could not be determined from the real status of the frame.

5a6e59991b rt2x00: trim skb_frame_desc to 32 bytes
Remove frame_type from skb_frame_desc and pass it
as argument to rt2x00debug_dump_frame().

Change data_len and desc_len to unsigned short
to save another 4 bytes in skb_frame_desc. Note that
this was the only location where the data_len and
desc_len was not yet treated as unsigned short.

This trim is required to help mac80211 with adding
the TX control and TX status informtation into the
skb->cb structure. When that happens, drivers will
have approximately 40 bytes left to use freely.

566bfe5a8b mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.
