Not only does this patch update the driver to match the latest Realtek release,
it is an important step in getting the internal code source at Realtek to match
the code in the kernel. The primary reason for this is to make it easier for
Realtek to maintain the kernel source without requiring an intermediate like me.
In this process of merging the two source repositories, there are a lot
of changes in both, and this commit is rather large.

When the rtlwifi family of drivers was converted to use a workqueue when
entering or leaving power save mode (commits a269913c52, a5ffbe0a19,
41affd5286, b9116b9a2b, and 6539306b2c), the code began scheduling work from
the callback routine of a different workqueue with a resulting increase in
overhead.

There is no reason why frames marked with
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN have to be sent using
the UAPSD queue. Since mac80211 makes sure that
RoC is done before pushing an offchannel frame
to the driver, we can use the normal TX queues
for transmission.

Since we use IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL now, the
CAB/Offchannel queues are registered as the last
two queues. There is no need to check and reassign
the queues in the TX start()/done() routines.
CAB frames will not reach the tx() callback since
we set IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING and
pull the buffered frames during beacon transmission.
We also don't have a special HW queue for handling
off-channel frames.

This patch makes the driver to report signal strength information
to mac80211 for rtl8187se boards.
It differs from my previous RFT patch:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=140155388332534&w=2
because:
- I have now a working rtl8187se card, so I could serve my RFT by myself. :)
- CCK measurement code has changed a bit, but it does basically the same things.
- OFDM measurement method is changed because the older method reported incorrect
measures, at least for signals stronger than -40dBm).
CCK measurement seems quite good. OFDM seems less accurate, but this is the
same as the "reference" staging driver dose. I wanted not to change things just
to make measures of _one_ (my) card a bit more close to what _I_ (in my setup)
expected..
IMHO results are still good enough to justify reporting signal in dBm rather than in
"unspecified" units, so this is what this patch actually does.
Results of my tests with a working rtl8187se card connected with coaxes and
various RF attenuators to my AP are:
Input (approx) | CCK meas | OFDM meas
--------------------------------------
-30dBm | -32dBm | -31dBm
-40dBm | -40dBm | -41dBm
-50dBm | -50dBm | -55dBm
-60dBm | -59dBm | -63dBm
-70dBm | -69dBm | -73dBm
-80dBm | -79dBm | -83dBm
Also some real-field tests has been done (no coax, packets in the air) for the CCK
measure method, and they resulted in reasonable values.

When multiple channel contexts are enabled, a p2p interface
that is assigned to a context will have an address that
is different from the device mac address, which is used
by wpa_s as the p2p device ID.
Certain frames like provision requests use the device address
and these get dropped since ath9k_calculate_summary_state()
iterates over only the active interfaces in a context and the
device address is not used.
Fix this by adding the device mac address to the bssid mask.

Using the BSS information stored in mac80211 directly
is racy in certain conditions. For example, in a MCC
setup, if the scheduler is switching channels when
a local deauth is issued, calculation of the opmode/bssid
etc. is incorrect. To avoid this, store the bss params
in the driver and use it.

AHB bus support was added in v2.6.38, through commit a0b907ee2a
("ath5k: Add AHB bus support."). That code can only be build if the
Kconfig symbol ATHEROS_AR231X is set. But that symbol has never been
added to the tree. So AHB bus support has always been dead code.
Let's remove all code that depends on ATHEROS_AR231X. If that symbol
ever gets added to the tree the AHB bus support can be re-added too.

In case of traffic on multiple TIDs where one is aggregated
and the other is not RS would toggle between considering
traffic vs. the station as aggregated and not aggregated.
Instead consider the sta state as aggregated as long as
there's at least one TID aggregated.
This limitation is because the rates table is kept per
station and not per TID.

Currently BA notifications which don't reclaim any frames
would not cause the RS to be called as no skbs are passed
to mac80211. This is not optimal as RS can benefit from the
statistics of sent vs. acked of such a BA. This can improve the
reaction time of the RS algorithm. Also, an upcoming change in
the firmware would cause BA timeout to be reported as a BA notif
with 0 acked so this change is required for that as well.

Improve the initial tx rate and antenna selection to be based on
