8318d78a44 cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

5957da4c6e rt2x00: Move beacon and atim queue defines into rt2x00
As Johannes Berg indicated the BEACON and AFTER_BEACON
queue indeces in mac80211 should be removed because they
are too hardware specific. This patch adds the queue index
defines into rt2x00queue.h and removes the dependency of
the defines inside mac80211.h.

Also move rt2x00pci_beacon_update() into rt2400pci and
rt2500pci individually since it is no longer a generic
function since rt61 and rt2800 no longer use that.

6bb40dd13b rt2x00: Add per-interface structure
Rework the interface handling. Delete the interface structure
and replace it with a per-interface structure. This changes the
way rt2x00 handles the active interface drastically.

Copy ieee80211_bss_conf to the this rt2x00_intf structure during
the bss_info_changed() callback function. This will allow us to
reference it later, and removes the requirement for the device flag
SHORT_PREAMBLE flag which is interface specific.

Drivers receive the option to give the maximum number of virtual
interfaces the device can handle. Virtual interface support:
rt2400pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500pci: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt2500usb: 1 sta or 1 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt61pci: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces
rt73usb: 1 sta or 4 ap, * monitor interfaces

At the moment none of the drivers support AP and STA interfaces
simultaneously, this is a hardware limitation so future support
will be very unlikely.

Each interface structure receives its dedicated beacon entry,
with this we can easily work with beaconing while multiple master
mode interfaces are currently active.

The configuration handlers for the MAC, BSSID and type are
often called together since they all belong to the interface
configuration. Merge the 3 configuration calls and cleanup
the API between rt2x00lib and the drivers. While we are cleaning
up the interface configuration anyway, we might as well clean up
the configuration handler as well.

9404ef34e4 rt2x00: Driver requiring firmware should select crc algo
The driver should select what CRC algorithm is required
when performing a checksum on the firmware.

rt61pci & rt73usb require crc-itu-t
rt2800pci & rt2800usb require crc-ccitt

Legacy 2800pci/usb driver uses crc-itu-t + bit order reversion,
but that is just inefficient especially since the end result is
the same as a different algorithm which is also available as library. ;)

181d6902b6 rt2x00: Queue handling overhaul
This introduces a big queue handling overhaul, this also
renames "ring" to "queues".

Move queue handling into rt2x00queue.c and the matching header,
use Kerneldoc to improve rt2x00 library documentation.

Access to the queues is now protected under a spinlock, this
to prevent race conditions which could corrupt the indexing
system of the queue.

Each queue entry allocates x bytes for driver/device specific data,
this cleans up the queue structure significantly and improves
code readability.

rt2500usb no longer needs 2 entries in the beacon queue to correctly
send out the guardian byte. This is now handled in the entry specific
structure.

rt61 and rt73 now use the correct descriptor size for beacon frames,
since this data is written into the registers not the entire TXD
descriptor was used but instead of a subset of it named TXINFO.

Finally this also fixes numerous other bugs related to incorrect
beacon handling or beacon related code.

This adds 2 new states which both are used to toggle

inside the link tuner thread, because the normal
RX toggling will stop the link tuner thread.

40561b8426 rt2x00: Data and desc pointer initialization
rt2500usb and rt73usb data and desc pointer initialization
was incorrect because it was using uninitialized variables
to determine the length.

In addition rt2500usb used skb_pull and removed the ieee80211
from each received frame instead of using skb_trim to remove
the device descriptor from the frame.

Finally this also fixes the descriptor override when 4 byte
aligning occured. We still need a completely valid descriptor
when using the TX/RX dumping capabilities in debugfs.

471b3efdfc mac80211: add unified BSS configuration
This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for
a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require
the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode.

This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is
passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback
when the BSS configuration changes.

This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following
new features:
 * drivers are notified of their association AID
 * drivers are notified of association status

and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does
the relevant driver updates for the latter change.

3867705bb7 rt2x00: Only set the TBCN flag when the interface is configured to send beacons.
These flags used to be fixed to one in rt2500pci_config_type, which
caused the beacon timer interrupt to fire. This would lead to
rt2x00lib_beacondone adding work which called
rt2x00lib_beacondone_scheduled which called ieee80211_beacon_get which
printed an error about not having any beacon data.

With this patch, these interrupts are only generated when the interface
is configured to send beacons.

e4cd2ff89f rt2x00: Split rt61/rt73 antenna selection into RX and TX antenna
Based on investigation of the legacy drivers, I have made the
following assumptions of the antenna setup:
 - R77 is the TX antenna configuration
 - RF2529 fetches default antenna selection from NIC eeprom word

With these assumptions we can change the antenna configuration
to correctly read both antenna setup values and correctly
configure the antenna. And we can now also configure the antenna
for RF2529 without a double antenna.

mac80211 has 3 values for the antenna setup:
 0 - default
 1 - use antenna 1
 2 - use antenna 2

This means that rt2x00 should store the default value

that the antenna setup is 0.
This also implies that rt2x00 should no longer write the
hw->config.antenna_sel_* values based on the EEPROM input.

This also adds the basis in rt2x00lib for correct software
diversity handling. By default rt2x00lib will now configure
antenna B instead of hardware diversity.

2484591049 [PATCH] rt2x00: Make *_beacon_update static
Make rt61pci_beacon_update and rt73usb_beacon_update static,
they are only used inside their own source file and then only
for setting it as callback funtion for mac80211.

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.
