10d8493cd9 bcma: add support for on-chip OTP memory used for SPROM storage
Wireless Broadcom chips can have either their SPROM data stored
on either external SPROM or on-chip OTP memory. Both are accessed
through the same register space. This patch adds support for the
on-chip OTP memory.

Tested with:
BCM43224 OTP and SPROM
BCM4331 SPROM
BCM4313 OTP

This patch is in response to linux-wireless thread [1].

4ac887cfda bcma: return error in bcma_sprom_get() when fallback fails
When not SPROM is available a fallback mechanism is used. However,
when that fails the code currently continues. This patch assures
that the bcma_sprom_get() function aborts when that happens.

5c17ddc4a0 ath5k: do not re-run AGC calibration periodically
All other Atheros drivers run the AGC gain calibration and DC offset
calibration only after reset. Running them periodically has caused stability
issues on some (primarily AR2315/2413/5413/5414 based) devices, leading to
messages such as:

ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2462MHz)
ath5k phy0: calibration of channel 11 failed

62e2c102cc ath5k: do not stop queues for full calibration
Some calibration types interfere with tx activity, but the queue stop does
not prevent that. In fact, some calibration types need tx activity to properly
function, so stopping the queues for them is counterproductive.
In some tests this patch has been shown to improve stability, especially in
AP or ad-hoc mode.

ab0bd5b32a iwlwifi: fix station HT parameters
My patch "iwlwifi: simplify auth/assoc flow"
caused a serious throughput degradation due
to me forgetting that there are HT settings
in the station table. To restore throughput,
set these parameters correctly when the sta
moves to assoc state.

This patch should probably be merged with
the auth/assoc redesign patch for upstream.
In that case, this paragraph should be added
to the commit log as the third paragraph
(before talking about RXON):

However, as we only get the station HT data
when the station moves into assoc state, we
also need to program this into the device
(and copy it into our database) then.

65b94a4abf iwlwifi: pass response packet directly

2c6ab7ff8f iwlwifi: use ieee80211_tx_status
We currently use the _irqsafe version, but that
isn't recommended together with ieee80211_rx()
as it can cause races. If the device reports
a TX-status and RX in that order then with the
current combination mac80211 might process them
in the other order, which can cause issues with
powersaving clients.

Use ieee80211_tx_status() to avoid this race.
Since we don't want to call it with locks held,
process the frame queues later -- this is fine
as they are on the stack.

2dd4f9f731 iwlwifi: clean up (wowlan) suspend flow
In the WoWLAN suspend flow, instead of accessing
registers directly, ask the transport to do the
required setup at the end of suspend. If the
transport doesn't implement this, don't tell the
stack we support WoWLAN.

When the device suspends w/o WoWLAN, mac80211
will have stopped it already, which has already
called iwl_apm_stop() via stop_hw(). Thus, it
isn't necessary to call it again in pcie_suspend
and we can simply do nothing there.

This unifies the regular and WoWLAN suspend.

342bbf3fee iwlwifi: always monitor for stuck queues
If we only monitor while associated, the following
can happen:
 - we're associated, and the queue stuck check
   runs, setting the queue "touch" time to X
 - we disassociate, stopping the monitoring,
   which leaves the time set to X
 - almost 2s later, we associate, and enqueue
   a frame
 - before the frame is transmitted, we monitor
   for stuck queues, and find the time set to
   X, although it is now later than X + 2000ms,
   so we decide that the queue is stuck and
   erroneously restart the device

It happens more with P2P because there we can
go between associated/unassociated frequently.

a9b89e2567 rtlwifi: rtl8192ce: Fix loss of receive performance
Driver rtl8192ce when used with the RTL8188CE device would start at about
20 Mbps on a 54 Mbps connection, but quickly drop to 1 Mbps. One of the
symptoms is that the AP would need to retransmit each packet 4 of 5 times
before the driver would acknowledge it. Recovery is possible only by
unloading and reloading the driver. This problem was reported at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=770207.

The problem is due to a missing update of the gain setting.

da473b61ad ath5k: allow AP and mesh mode to operate simultaneously
This patch allows the possibility of having the mesh point and AP to be operated
simultaneously in one single radio. Previously, mesh point fails to generate the
mesh beacon if virtual AP is created for the same radio.
