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.

When, for some reason, the rt2x00pci module fails to allocate DMA memory for
the queues, it tries to undo the complete initialization of the PCI device,
including freeing of the irq. This results in the following error in dmesg, as
the irq hadn't been requested yet:

Fix this by implementing proper error handling code, instead of just using the

During initialization the initialize() callback function
in rt2x00pci and rt2x00usb will cleanup the mess they made.
rt2x00lib shouldn't call uninitialize because the callback function already
cleaned up _and_ the DEVICE_INITIALIZED isn't set which causes the
rt2x00lib_uninitialize() to halt directly anyway. All that is required
to be cleaned up by rt2x00lib is the queue, and that can be done by
calling rt2x00queue_uninitialize() directly.

rt2x00pci allocates DMA for descriptor and data,
rt61pci doesn't use this for the beacon, but it can
use the descriptor part as temporary buffer instead
of using pskb_expand_head().
Using this temporary buffer is obviously much better
then reallocating the skb buffer...
At the same time we can set the data length for the
beacon queue at 0, to make sure no DMA is allocated for
data (but just for the descriptor).

* removes the useless queue number defines
* splits hw->queues into hw->queues/ampdu_queues
* removes the debugfs files for per-queue counters

Some hardware never seem to accept the "goto sleep" command, since the legacy
drivers don't have suspend and resume handlers the entire code for it was
basically a educated guess (based on the "enable radio" code).
This patch will only print a warning when the "goto sleep" command fails, and
just continues as usual. Perhaps that means the device will not reach a sleep
state and consumes more power then it should, but it is equally possible it
simply needs some seconds longer to sleep. Anyway, by making the command
non-fatal it will not block the rest of the suspend procedure.

Since in_atomic() is not a valid method to determine

In addition mark LED class support for the drivers broken

It has been observed on rt2500pci hardware that some
frames received with signal 0x0C do not have the OFDM
flag set.
Signals can have 2 meanings:
1) The PLCP value
2) The bitrate * 10
For rt2500pci (1) is for frames received with a OFDM rate,
and (2) is for frames received with a CCK rate.
But 0x0C is a invalid bitrate value but is a valid PLCP
value for 54Mbs (obvious OFDM rate).
This means that it is possible that the hardware does not
set the OFDM bit correctly under all circumstances.
This results in rt2x00 failing to detect the rate and
mac80211 triggering a WARN_ON() and dropping the frame.
To bypass this, print a warning when such a frame is received,
and reset the rate to the lowest supported rate for the current band.

After sampling hundreds of RX frame descriptors,
the results were conclusive:
- The Ralink documentation regarding the SIGNAL and RSSI are wrong.
It turns out that of the 5 BBR registers, we should not use BBR0 and BBR1
for SIGNAL and RSSI respectively, but actually BBR1 and BBR2.
BBR0 does show values, but the exact meaning remains unclear,
but they cannot be translated into a SIGNAL or RSSI field.
BBR3, BBR4 and BBR5 are always 0, so their meaning is unknown.
As it turns out, the reported SIGNAL is the PLCP value, this
in contradiction to what was expected looking at rt2500pci which
only reported the PLCP values for OFDM rates and bitrate values
for CCK rates.
This means we should let the driver raise the flag about the contents
of the SIGNAL field so rt2x00lib can always do the right thing based
on what the driver reports.
