8d6748ca73 iwlagn: implement layout-agnostic EEPROM reading
The current EEPROM reading code has some layout
assumptions that now turned out to be false with
some newer versions of the EEPROM. Luckily, we
can avoid all such assumptions by using data in
the EEPROM itself, so implement using that.

However, for risk mitigation purposes, keep the
old reading code for current hardware for now.

412b31334b rt2x00: Fix firmware loading regression on x86_64.
Commit 6175ddf06b changes the way
memcpy_toio() works for x86_64, causing firmware loading to fail for
some Ralink WLAN devices with the rt2800pci driver since linux 2.6.34.
This causes the log message: "phy0 -> rt2800pci_load_firmware: Error -
PBF system register not ready.".

Fix this by using __iowrite32_copy instead of memcpy_toio().

f615e9a38a rt2x00: Fix WMM Queue naming
The Queue names were incorrectly copied from the legacy drivers,
as a result the queue names were inversed to what was expected.

This renames the queues using this mapping:
	QID_AC_BK -> QID_AC_VO (priority 0)
	QID_AC_BE -> QID_AC_VI (priority 1)
	QID_AC_VI -> QID_AC_BE (priority 2)
	QID_AC_VO -> QID_AC_BK (priority 3)

Note that this was a naming problem only, which didn't affect
the assignment of frames to their respective queues.

5450b7e2f0 rt2x00: Introduce 3 queue commands in drivers (start, kick, stop).
As part of the queue refactoring, we now introduce
3 queue commands: start, kick, stop.

 - Start: will enable a queue, for TX this will
   not mean anything, while for beacons and RX
   this will update the registers to enable the queue.
 - Kick: This will kick all pending frames to
   the hardware. This is needed for the TX queue
   to push all frames to the HW after the queue
   has been started
 - Stop: This will stop the queue in the hardware,
   and cancel any pending work (So this doesn't
   mean the queue is empty after a stop!).

Move all code from the drivers into the appropriate
functions, and link those calls to the old rt2x00lib
callback functions (we will fix this later when we
refactor the queue control inside rt2x00lib).

89b25f60e0 rt2x00: Don't frequently reset beacon interval in AdHoc mode
Commit 0204464329 "Check for specific changed
flags when updating the erp config" changed the way in which a new beacon
interval gets handled. However, due to a bug in rt2800usb and rt2800pci the
beacon interval was reset during each scan, thus causing problems in AdHoc
mode.

Fix this by not cleaning up the beacon interval when killing the beacon queue
but just prevent the device from sending out beacons.

a061a93b6e rt2x00: Ensure TX-ed frames are returned in the original state.
Recent changes to the TX-done code of rt2x00 resulted in TX-ed frames not
being returned to mac80211 in the original state, and therefore with
insufficient headroom for re-transmissions.

Fix this by reverting the changes done and by ensuring we remove the inserted
L2pad by moving the header backwards instead of the data forwards.

At the same time also make sure that the rt2x00queue_remove_l2pad will not
move any memory when a frame has no data at all.

7607cbe2ad ath9k: fix PA predistortion thermal measurement handling
To be able to measure the thermal values correctly for PAPRD, we need
to send training frames before setting up the gain table for the measurement,
and then again afterwards for the actual training.

For further improvement, send training frames at MCS0 instead of 54 MBit/s
legacy. That way we can use the No-ACK flag for the transmission, which
speeds up PAPRD training in general, as the hardware won't have to
retransmit and wait for ACK timeout (was previously set to 4 * 6
transmission attempts).

91f44b0299 mac80211 default tx_last_beacon false (congestion)
The 802.11 spec states that the STA that generated the last Beacon frame shall
be the STA that response to a probe request.  This is important for congestion
reduction when a probe request is received - only 1 node in an adhoc BSS
will transmit a response.  While mac80211 drivers should provide the
tx_last_beacon function to report if they transmitted the last beacon many
do not.  As an attempt to reduce probe response congestion default this
to 0 such that a node not implementing this capability does not contribute
to unnecessary congestion.

In a modern medium sized office environment I see upwards of 100 probe
requests per second received at a given node from various hardware/OS/drivers
doing zeroconf 'active probing' as opposed to passively listening for beacons.
With a modest 10-node adhoc network consisting of drivers that do not implement
this tx_last_beacon feature, I have seen this result in the simultaneous xmit
of probe responses accumulating to 500 probe responses per second because of
collisions which brings the adhoc network to its knees as well as causes
needless congestion.

42ab135fe7 b43: rename TMS defines, drop useless condition from core reset
As discussed we do not know band width at core reset time and it is not a good
idea to reset whole just to change band. So just set unconditionally 20 MHz
band width as default during core reset.

As for defines PHY clock changed to band width in specs and it makes much more
sens to call defines by band width which is self-explainable. Updated specs do
not mention 0 value, but comparing to old ones you can notice lineral relation
between PHY clock speed and band width. So it makes sense for 0x0 value to be
10 MHz band width.
