drm: detect hdmi monitor by hdmi identifier (v3)
Sometime we need to communicate with HDMI monitor by sending audio or video
info frame, so we have to know monitor type. However if user utilize HDMI-DVI adapter to connect DVI monitor, hardware detection will incorrectly show the monitor is HDMI. HDMI spec tell us that any device containing IEEE registration Identifier will be treated as HDMI device. The patch intends to detect HDMI monitor by this rule.

Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation
(which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer

We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and
we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in

cfg80211: fix locking in nl80211_set_wiphy
Luis reports that there's a circular locking dependency;
this is because cfg80211_dev_rename() will acquire the
cfg80211_mutex while the device mutex is held, while
this normally is done the other way around. The solution
is to open-code the device-getting in nl80211_set_wiphy
and require holding the mutex around cfg80211_dev_rename
rather than acquiring it within.
Also fix a bug -- rtnl locking is expected by drivers so
we need to provide it.

mac80211: fix RX path
My previous patch ("mac80211: remove mixed-cell and userspace MLME code")
was too obvious to me, so obvious that a stupid bug crept in. The IBSS
RX function must be invoked for IBSS, of course, not anything != IBSS.

ath5k: warn and correct rate for unknown hw rate indexes
ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to
the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some
received frames with incorrect rate indexes. Such frames
normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(),
but it doesn't include enough information to track down the
error.
This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups
that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so
the frame can be processed.

b43: fix b43_plcp_get_bitrate_idx_ofdm return type
This patch fixes the return type of b43_plcp_get_bitrate_idx_ofdm. If
the plcp contains an error, the function return value is 255 instead
of -1, and the packet was not dropped. This causes a warning in
__ieee80211_rx function because rate idx is out of range.

mac80211: decrease execution of the associated timer
Currently the timer is triggering every two seconds
(IEEE80211_MONITORING_INTERVAL). Decrease the timer to only trigger during
data idle periods to avoid waking up CPU unnecessary. The timer will
still trigger during idle periods, that needs to be fixed later.
There's also a functional change that probe requests are sent only when the
data path is idle, earlier they were sent also while there was activity
on the data path.
This is also preparation for the beacon filtering support. Thanks to
Johannes Berg for the idea.
