cc02681923 libertas: scan before assocation if no BSSID was given
Fix this leftover TODO from the cfg80211 conversion by doing a scan
if cfg80211 didn't pass in the BSSID for us.  Since the scan code
uses so much of the cfg80211_scan_request structure to build up the
firmware command, we just fake one when the scan request is triggered
internally.  But we need to make sure that internal 'fake' cfg82011
scan request does not get back to cfg82011 via cfg80211_scan_done().

1975753937 libertas: fix association with some APs by using extended rates
Some APs get pissy if you don't send the firmware the extended rates
in the association request's rates TLV.  Found this on a Linksys
WRT54G v2; it denies association with status code 18 unless you
add the extended rates too.  The old driver did this, but it got
lost in the cfg80211 conversion.

90abdc3b97 pcmcia: do not use io_req_t when calling pcmcia_request_io()
Instead of io_req_t, drivers are now requested to fill out
struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[0,1] for up to two ioport
ranges. After a call to pcmcia_request_io(), the ports found there
are reserved, after calling pcmcia_request_configuration(), they may
be used.

In following scenarios WARN_ON() in cfg80211 code was triggered.
a) Driver unload or card removal.
b) Disconnect from infra network
c) Adhoc start/join
d) Adhoc stop
Added following fixes to avoid WARN_ON() in cfg80211 code.
a) Ensured that cfg80211_disconnected() function defined in cfg80211
code will be called only in infra mode.
b) Solved timing issue by moving cfg80211_disconnected() call inside
lbs_cfg_disconnect().
c) Updated "wdev->ssid" in driver code after Adhoc join/start
d) Removed unnecessory cfg80211_disconnected() call in lbs_remove_card.

a4b770972b drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s
This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

- calling request_irq/free_irq directly. Use the IRQ from *p_dev->irq.

- use pcmcia_request_irq(p_dev, handler_t); the PCMCIA core will
  clean up automatically on calls to pcmcia_disable_device() or
  device ejection.

- drivers still not capable of IRQF_SHARED (or not telling us so) may
  use the deprecated pcmcia_request_exclusive_irq() for the time
  being; they might receive a shared IRQ nonetheless.

f444de05d2 cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handling
Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid
things like setting up an AP on a certain channel,
then adding another virtual interface and making
that associate on another channel -- this will make
the beaconing to move channel but obviously without
the necessary IEs data update.

In order to improve this situation, first make the
configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of
multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need
that in the future anyway. There's one userland API
change and one API addition. The API change is that
now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface
index rather than only wiphy index in order to take
effect for that interface -- luckily all current
users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the
old setting is preserved, but monitors are always
slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.

The second userland API change is the introduction
of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that
hostapd should use going forward to make it easier
to understand what's going on (it can automatically
detect a kernel with this command).

Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers
are affected by this change because they only allow
a single virtual interface.

mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the
channel settings are per interface now, and needs
to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,
which is another important part of this patch.

One of the immediate benefits is that you can now
start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already
has a connection on another virtual interface, as
long as you specify the same channel.

Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an
improvement -- not a complete fix):

 * different HT/no-HT modes

   currently you could start an HT AP and then
   connect to a non-HT network on the same channel
   which would configure the hardware for no HT;
   that can be fixed fairly easily

 * CSA

   An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface
   might indicate switching channels, and in that
   case we would follow it, regardless of how many
   other interfaces are operating; this requires
   more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all

ca962557c2 libertas: fix 8686 firmware loading regression
The 'ready' condition was incorrectly evaluated which sometimes lead to
failures loading the second-stage firmware on 8686 devices.
