ath5k: warn and correct rate for unknown hw rate indexes
ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to

This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups

b43: Mask PHY TX error interrupt, if not debugging
This masks the PHY TX error interrupt, if debugging is disabled.
Currently we have a bug somewhere which triggers this interrupt once
in a while. (Depends on the network noise/quality). While this is nonfatal,
it scares the hell out of users and we frequently receive bugreports
that incorrectly identify this error message as the reason.
There's another problem with this. The PHY TX error interrupt is protected
with a watchdog that will restart the device if it keeps triggering very often.
This is used to fix interrupt storms from completely broken devices.
However, this watchdog might trigger in completely normal operation.
If the TX capacity of the card is saturated, the likeliness of the watchdog
triggering increases, as more TX errors occur. The current threshold
for the watchdog is 1000 errors in 15 seconds.
This patch adds a workaround for the issue by just enabling the interrupt
if debugging is disabled (by Kconfig or by modparam).
This has the downside that real fatal PHY TX errors are not caught anymore.
But this is nonfatal due to the following reasons:
* If the card is not able to transmit anymore, MLME will notice anyway.
* I did _never_ see a real fatal PHY TX error in a mainline b43 driver.
* It does _not_ result in interrupt storms or something like that.
It will simply result in a stalled card. It can be debugged by enabling
the debugging module parameter.

nl80211: Add MLME primitives to support external SME
This patch adds new nl80211 commands to allow user space to request
authentication and association (and also deauthentication and
disassociation). The commands are structured to allow separate
authentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between
kernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE
802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the
SME.
The patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,
MLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and
MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and
association commands request the actual operations in two steps
(assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication
step is skipped; this could end up being a separate "connect"
command).
The initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current
net/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management
frames and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state
machine from moving automatically from authentication to association.
Future cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.
The goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and
association process to user space without having to move the full MLME
implementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol
and 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will
also bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association
requests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME
using the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.
This patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with
over-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME
primitives for handling the FT Action frames).

ath9k: Fix bug in handling single stream stations
AP mode currently sets up the dual stream capability
for all stations. This patch fixes it by checking if the
associated station supports dual stream MCS rates (8-15).
We would disregard any MCS rates above 15, since Atheros
HW supports only 0..15 rates currently, and can't receive
at rates > 15 anyway.

Remove the PCI retry timeout code as that was just taken from ipw2100
due to historical reasons but in reality its a no-op, additionally its
simply incorrect as each PCI devices has its own custom PCI configuration
space on PCI config space >= 0x40. Not to mention we were trying to write
0 to a place that already has 0 on it.

mac80211: start pending scan after probe/auth/assoc timed out
If a scan is queued in STA mode while the interface is in state direct
probe, authenticate or associate the scan is delayed until the interface
enters disabled or associated state. But in case of direct probe-,
authentication- or association- timeout sta_work will not be scheduled
anymore (without external trigger) and thus the pending scan is not
executed and prevents a new scan from being triggered (-EBUSY).
Fix this by queueing the sta work again after direct probe-, authentication-
and association- timeout.

No hw/driver actually supports more than four queues right now,

had hardware supporting more queues we couldn't take advantage

ucc_geth: Fix three oopses in PHY {de,}initialization code
When there are no free snums, UCC ethernet should gracefully fail, but
currently it oopses this way:
# ifconfig eth0 up
fill_init_enet_entries: Can not get SNUM.
ucc_geth_startup: Can not fill p_init_enet_param_shadow.
eth0: Cannot configure net device, aborting.

[efb25df0] [c020eec0] dev_open+0xc0/0x118
[...]
This is because the ucc_geth_stop() routine assumes that ugeth->phydev
is always initialized by the ucc_geth_open(), while it is not in case
of errors.
If we add a check to the ucc_geth_stop(), then another oops pops up:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000004
Faulting instruction address: 0xc01b46a4

That one happens because ucc_geth_stop() does not call phy_disconnect()
and so phylib state machine is running without any idea that a MAC has
just died.
Also, when device tree specifies fixed-link, and CONFIG_FIXED_PHY
is disabled, we'll get this oops:
0:01 not found
eth2: Could not attach to PHY
eth2: Cannot initialize PHY, aborting.

And again, ucc_geth_stop() assumes that ugeth->phydev is there, while
it isn't.
This patch fixes all three oopses simply by rearranging some code:
- In ucc_geth_open(): move init_phy() call to the beginning, so
that we only call ucc_geth_stop() with a PHY attached;
- Move phy_disconnect() call from ucc_geth_close() to
ucc_geth_stop(), so that we'll always disconnect the PHY.
