c2f2d3a06f p54: fix eeprom parser length sanity checks
When I called p54_parse_eeprom() on a hand-coded structure
I managed to make a small mistake with wrap->len which caused
a segfault a few lines down when trying to read entry->len.
This patch changes the validation code to avoid such problems.

8c28293f55 p54: fix EEPROM structure endianness
Since the EEPROM structure is read from hardware, it is
always little endian, annotate that in the struct and
make sure to convert where applicable.

32bfd35d4b mac80211: dont use interface indices in drivers
This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.

This has two advantages:
 * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
   for working with network namespaces and performance
 * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
   having to allocate own lists/hash tables

03bffc1341 wireless: make drivers include the TSF RX flag where appropriate
These drivers pass full mactime information to the stack, make them
indicate this via the new RX_FLAG_TSFT to get mac80211 to show this
information in monitor mode.

ba8007ceb0 [PATCH] p54: Make filter configuration atomic
p54_set_filter is now called from configure_filter, which is not
allowed to sleep. The filter configuration packet allocation should be
atomic now.

a289755250 [MAC80211]: add "invalid" interface type
Since I cannot convince the lazy driver authors (hello Michael)
to stop (ab)using the MGMT interface type internally in their
drivers, this patch introduces a new _INVALID type especially
for their use and changes all affected drivers to use it.

4150c57212 [PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configuration
Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.

This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
FIF_ALLMULTI.

Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that
have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast
frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or
when the mc_count value is positive.

At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().

The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to all-ones.
