Clear the flags (most importantly, the IEEE80211_TX_RC_MCS flag)
when sending a non-HT packet so that the rate index can be properly treated.
This fixes the reporting of legacy rates in wireless-extensions for packets
sent after an HT packet.

Commit 1ccb84d87d04df3c76cd4352fe69786d8c7cf016 by Wey-Yi Guy
("iwlwifi: clean up unused NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR for Monitor mode")
broke injection of non-broadcast frames to unassociated stations
(causing a SYSASSERT for all such injected frames), due to injected
frames no longer automatically getting a broadcast station ID assigned.
This patch restores the old behavior, fixing the aforementioned
regression.
Also, consistently check for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED instead of
iwl_is_monitor_mode in the TX path, as TX_CTL_INJECTED specifically
means that a given packet is coming from a monitor interface, while
iwl_is_monitor_mode only shows whether a monitor interface exists
on the device.

The CF8305 is a very old silicon running firmware version 3.0 . This card also
needs some special treatment as it's so old it can't do unaligned register
access. But since that happens only at one place, there were no changes made to
the register access functions, but instead that particular place was fixed.
Also, this card uses only one-stage firmware which is loaded the same way as
helper firmware. The second-stage firmware isn't loaded on this card and doesn't
therefore have to be supplied.

The patch "mac80211: fix PS-poll response race" somehow broke
broadcast buffering in a funny way.
During normal operation - stations are awake - the firmware refused
to transmit broadcast frames and reported P54_TX_PSM_CANCELLED.
But everything worked as soon as one station entered PSM.
The reason:
The stack sets IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM for outgoing
broadcast frames as soon as a station is marked as sleeping.
This flag triggers a path which will reroute these frames
into p54's "content after beacon" queue, which is designed
to cope with the demands for psm.
This patch restores the old behavior.
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT will once again be used to signalize
the firmware to ignore the ps canceling for certain frames.

The current mwl8k_priv->fw_lock spinlock doesn't actually protect
against multiple commands being submitted at once, as it is not kept
held over the entire firmware command submission. And since waiting
for command completion sleeps, we can't use a spinlock anyway.
To fix mwl8k firmware command serialisation properly, we have the
following requirements:
- Some commands require that the packet transmit path is idle when
the command is issued. (For simplicity, we'll just quiesce the
transmit path for every command.)
- There are certain sequences of commands that need to be issued to
the hardware sequentially, with no other intervening commands.
This leads to an implementation of a "firmware lock" as a mutex that
can be taken recursively, and which is taken by both the low-level
command submission function (mwl8k_post_cmd) as well as any users of
that function that require issuing of an atomic sequence of commands,
and quiesces the transmit path whenever it's taken.

Delete most of the mwl8k_work_struct fields and options, since most
of them are unused or never changed from their defaults:
- We always use priv->config_wq, so delete the wqueue argument from
mwl8k_queue_work().
- MWL8K_WQ_SPIN and MWL8K_WQ_POST_REQUEST are never used, as all
callers sleep for request completion, so sleep unconditionally.
- MWL8K_WQ_FREE_WORKSTRUCT is never used.
- MWL8K_WQ_TX_WAIT_EMPTY is always set, so assume it unconditionally.
- timeout_ms/txwait_attempts/tx_timeout_ms are never changed from
their defaults, so just hardcode these in the workqueue worker.

Adding and removing the DMA header that the mwl8k hardware requires
on tx and provides on rx can never fail, since we are guaranteed to
have enough headroom on the tx path to expand the packet, and we only
ever shrink the packet on the rx path. (And on both paths we are
guaranteed to be the only user of the skb we are handling.)
This allows removing all of the skb clone handling in the tx and tx
reclaim paths, and eliminates error checks in both the tx and rx
paths, simplifying the code a bit more.

mwl8k_configure_filter() passes pointers to total_flags and the
multicast address list to a workqueue function, while there is no
guarantee that those pointers will still be valid by the time the
workqueue function runs.
Solve this by passing total_flags by value, and by passing an
already built multicast address setup command packet to the workqueue
function so that we don't have to look at the multicast address list
itself outside of mwl8k_configure_filter().
Also, since ->configure_filter() can sleep now, wait synchronously
for the worker to finish.
