The ROC command asks the fw stay on the channel of the given
hlid. it currently has 2 primary functions:
1. Allow tx/rx from the device role.
In order to tx/rx packets while the stations is not associated
(e.g. auth req/resp), the device role has to be used, along
with ROC on its link.
Keep the logic similiar to the one used in dummy_join. However,
since we can't scan while we ROC, we add CROC before starting
a scan, and ROC again (if needed) on scan complete.
2. Keeping the antenna for a specific link.
We ROC until the connection was completed (after EAPOLs exchange)
in order to prevent BT coex operations from taking the antenna
and failing the connection (after this stage, psm can be used).
During association, we ROC on the station role, and then CROC
the device role, thus assuring being ROC during all the connection
process.
Delete the WL1271_FLAG_JOINED flag, and use a roc bitmap
to indicate what roles are currently ROCed.
Add wl12xx_roc/croc functions in order to wrap the roc/croc
commands while taking care of the roc bitmap.

The current implementation allocates a skb each time one is requested by
the firmware. Since dummy packets are handled differently than regular
packets, the skb needs to be marked. Currently, this is done by
setting the pkt_type member to 5. This might not be safe, as we cannot
be sure that there won't be any other packets with this pkt_type value.
Since the packet does not change from one request to another, we can
simply allocate a dummy packet template and always send it. All changes
to the skb done during packet preparation must be reverted, so the same
skb can be reused.
The dummy packets are not transmitted, therefore there's no need to set
the BSSID or our own MAC address.
In addition, the header portion of the packet was zeroed by mistake, so
fix that as well.

The wl12xx device normally drops all frames coming from BSSID
it is not joined with.
This behavior is configured today by the wl12xx driver in response
to a handful of ieee80211_bss_change and ieee80211_conf_changed
notification flags, such as BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC, BSS_CHANGED_BSSID,
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_IDLE, etc..
This breaks when we roam to a new BSSID, where authentication frames
are sent before any BSS_CHANGED/CONF_CHANGED flags are received.
When this happens the hardware silently drops the authentication
responses, and the roaming fails.
Ideally this aggressive filtering behavior of the device should be disabled
upon a notification from mac80211. Such notification will take place
after multi-channel support will be added: mac80211 will likely send a
remain-on-channel notification to drivers when entering sensitive
states (like authentication), otherwise the firmware might jump to
different channels (to serve a different role).
Until those notifications materialize, disable the hw BSSID filter
when authentication requests are sent, so roaming would work.

ELP (Extremely/Enhanced Low Power, or something like that ;)) refers to
the powerstate of the 12xx chip, in which very low power is consumed,
and no commands (from the host) can be issued until the chip is woken up.
Wakeup/sleep commands must be protected by a wl->mutex, so it's generally
a good idea to call wakeup/sleep along with the mutex lock/unlock (where
needed). However, in some places the wl12xx driver calls wakeup/sleep in
some "inner" functions. This result in some "nested" wakeup/sleep calls
which might end up letting the chip go to sleep prematurely (e.g. during
event handling).
Fix it by rearranging the elp calls to come along with mutex_lock/unlock.

To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to
interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up
a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more
efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler. This
handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as
SDIO/SPI transactions.
Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs
(ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a
different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O
responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be
scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance.
The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was

interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the
extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables
