We were always using the max transmit power when scanning. Now we use the values passed to the driver by the mac80211 stack, so that we comply with regulations.

This patch is a complete rewrite of the scanning code. It now includes a state machine to scan all four possible sets of channels independently: 2.4GHz active, 2.4GHz passive, 5GHz active and 5GHz passive. The wl1271 firmware doesn't allow these sets to be mixed, so up to several scan commands have to be issued. This patch also allows scanning more than 24 channels per set, by breaking the sets into smaller parts if needed (the firmware can scan a maximum of 24 channels at a time). Previously, the scanning code was erroneously scanning all channels possible actively, not complying with the CRDA values. This is also fixed with this patch.

The scanning code is going to get a bit more complex, with proper support for active/passive scans together with 2.4GHz and 5GHz. In the future, also a new type of scan (periodic scan) will be added. When all this is implemented, the code is going to be much more complex, so we'd better separate it into a separate file. This patch doesn't have any impact on functionality.

This patch requests mac80211 to disable dynamic PSM based on sense events coming from the firmware. Effectively, whenever there is bluetooth traffic, the mac80211 is forced into full PSM mode.

We should read the fem manufacturer value from the NVS, so we can modify it easily and use a consistent value throughout the configuration. Previously we had to set the FEM value in the NVS and in the driver's initialization parameters. This patch removes the latter.

Some AP's (such as Zyxel Prestige 600) have totally broken ps-poll functionality. When powersave is enabled, these AP's will set the TIM bit for a STA in beacons, but when the STA responds with a ps-poll, the AP does not respond with data. The wl1271 firmware is able to send an indication to the host, when this problem occurs. This patch adds implementation, which temporarily disables power-save in response to this indication, allowing the AP to transmit whatever data it has buffered for the STA / whatever data is inbound at that time. This patch does not make these AP's work reliably in PSM, but improves the chances of inbound data getting through. The side effect of this patch is increased power consumption when using a faulty AP.

This patch removes the calibration performed on the first join command. The reasoning is that this is unnecessary as devices get their calibration data via the NVS file, and because the commands break BT coexistence. This is actually safe, because of the implementation the calibration was executed on the first JOIN anyway, after an ifdown/ifup the devices have relied on the NVS for calibration anyway (== most of the time.)

The current mac80211 code assumes that WEP is always available. If WEP fails to initialize, ieee80211_register_hw will always fail. In some cases (e.g. FIPS certification), the cryptography used by WEP is unavailable. However, in such cases there is no good reason why CCMP encryption (or even no link level encryption) cannot be used. So, this patch removes mac80211's assumption that WEP (and TKIP) will always be available for use. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

When ath_tx_complete_aggr() is called, it's responsible for returning all buffers in the linked list. This was not done when the STA lookup failed, leading to a race condition that could leak a few buffers when a STA just disconnected.

"Flush" request can come from two different sources, it can either from mac80211, or from device when the operation is needed. Here adding the support for device issue "flush" request. When receive tx complete with status is TX_STATUS_FAIL_RFKILL_FLUSH, issue REPLY_TXFIFO_FLUSH command to uCode to flush out all the tx frames in queues. In this condition, since mac80211 has no knowledge of "flush" operation, driver need to stop all the tx queues and wait for the operation completed before wake up the queues for frames transmission.

Adding flush callback support in the driver. Two type of flush can be issued by mac80211: 1. drop = true: frame drop is ok, issue REPLY_TXFIFO_FLUSH host command to uCode to drop all the frames in tx fifo queues; then return the control back to mac80211 2. drop = false: wait for either all the frames in tx fifo queues been transmitted, or timeout; then return the control back to mac80211 If the flush request coming from mac80211, mac80211 will make sure there are no additional frames push down to driver before flush operation is completed.

fw_restart module parameter was broken by the recent check for stuck queue patch, driver check the fx_restart module parameter before reload the firmware; but the stuck queue timer kick in after firmware error and reload the firmware even fw_restart=0. In this case, driver should not reload the firmware, it is important to help debugging uCode error. The only case we can ignore the module parameter is when user request firmware reload from debugfs, which can bypass the checking and perform firmware reload all the time.

ath9k_hw_check_alive() occasionally returns false, as the hardware is still processing data in a specific state. Fix this issue by repeating the test a few times with longer delay inbetween attempts.

When issuing a reset, the TSF value is lost in the hardware because of the 913x specific cold reset. As with some AR9280 cards, the TSF needs to be preserved in software here. Additionally, there's an issue that frequently prevents a successful TSF write directly after the chip reset. In this case, repeating the TSF write after the initval-writes usually works. This patch detects failed TSF writes and recovers from them, taking into account the delay caused by the initval writes.
