b93ce437eb rt2x00: Fix the beacon length bug
When setting up a beacon template, the length of the beacon is
calculated with the assumption that the SKB already contains
the Tx descriptor. In the case of beacons it doesn't.

This patch undoes the damage by adding the Tx descriptor length
to the beacon length. This is safe, because the shortest possible
beacon is longer than the Tx header.

ed0dbeeb92 rt2x00: Support for large vendor requests
Adds an extra rt2x00 vendor request function to support register
transfers beyond the CSR_CACHE_SIZE / USB packet size limit. This
is useful for firmware uploads, beacon templates and keys, all
of which are to large to do with a single USB request.

f2fdbc4847 rt2x00: Fix EIFS timing value
Olivier reported a difference between the EIFS
values used in the legacy driver and the one in
the rt2x00 drivers.

In rt2x00 the value was
	( SIFS + (8 * (IEEE80211_HEADER + ACK_SIZE)) )
which comes down to 314us while the legacy driver uses the value 364us

This was caused because EIFS is: SIFS + DIFS + AckTime
This patch will fix this by adding the DIFS by the above value,
and creating a SHORT_EIFS define which uses the SHORT_DIFS.

f591fa5dbb mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers
This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to
QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code
because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign
sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management
frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed
through mac80211's TX path.

This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to
not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked
for proper sequence numbers on beacons.

It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path
so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped.

9d139c810a mac80211: revamp beacon configuration
This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling
to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always
require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally,
it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call
to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it
removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of
having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

9a61319512 rt2x00: Fix NULL pointer error in adhoc/master mode
As soon as an interface is enabled, and that interface is in adhoc or master mode,
the device will start raising beacondone interrupts. But before the first interrupt is
raised, mac80211 will probably not have send any beacons to the device yet, which
results in a NULL pointer error when the skb is being freed.

Note that the "raise beacondone interrupts without a beacon" is also a bug,
and will be addressed later. The more important bug however is preventing
the NULL pointer failt itself, since there might be other conditions that could trigger
it as well.

1f90916264 rt2x00: Disable synchronization during initialization
As soon as init_registers() was called, the rt2400/rt2500
would start raising beacondone interrupts. Since this is highly
premature since no beacons were provided yet, we should
initialize the synchronization register to 0.

This will make all drivers initialize it to 0 regardless
if they are raising beacondone interrupts or not, since it only
makes sense to have it completely disabled.

980dfcb932 rt2x00: Fix lock dependency errror
This fixes a circular locking dependency in the workqueue handling.
The interface work task uses the mac80211 function
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() which grabs the RTNL lock.

However when the interface is brough down, this happens under the RTNL
lock as well, this causes problems because mac80211 will flush the workqueue
during the ifdown event. This causes mac80211 to wait until the driver has
completed all work which can't finish because it is waiting on the RTNL lock.

This is fixed by moving rt2x00 workqueue tasks on a different workqueue,
this workqueue can be flushed when the ieee80211_hw structure is removed
by the driver (when the driver is unloaded) which does not happen under the
RTNL lock.

rt2x00queue_free_skb() unmaps the DMA but doesn't clear the

anyway (and that function does clear the flag) we might as well
use that function directly.

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.

d56d453a1d rt2x00: Cleanup struct skb_frame_desc.
The data and data_len fields aren't really necessary in struct
skb_frame_desc, as they can be deduced from the skb itself.

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.
