Johannes Berg dacefedb34 iwlwifi: rewrite RXON checks
The RXON checking is a bit magical, and prints
out too much information if something goes wrong.
Make it less magical and print out only the items
that were actually wrong.

Also remove the comment about removing it -- the
driver is constantly changing so these checks are
useful.

Stanislaw Gruszka 09be251e90 Revert "iwlwifi: do not perferm force reset while doing scan"
This reverts commit 7acc7c683a. It was
applied to avoid possible warning in ieee80211_restart_hw, however
reason of the warning were races in mac80211, currently hopefully fixed.

Not reseting device when performing scan is bad for two reasons.

When forcing reset from iwl_check_stuck_queue(), in case of fail,
reset will be repeated until scan finish. But since firmware is in bad
shape, scan only finish after scan_check work (about 7s). So we will
delay the reset, what is not good behaviour.

When forcing reset from iwl_recover_from_statistics(), we will not
repeat the reset, so we will not perform reset at all when needed.

Wey-Yi Guy 7acc7c683a iwlwifi: do not perferm force reset while doing scan
When uCode error condition detected, driver try to perform either
rf reset or firmware reload in order bring device back to
working condition.

If rf reset is required and scan is in process, there is no need
to issue rf reset since scan already reset the rf.

If firmware reload is required and scan is in process, skip the
reload request. There is a possibility firmware reload during
scan cause problem.

Currently we force scan complete at the end of iwl_scan_cancel_timeout

from mac80211 and complete it by iwl_bg_complete from older scan. Change

interface is removed or scan timeout occurs.

Driver should configure uCode to operate in "full concurrency" mode (via

 - Antenna Coupling is more than 35dB
 - WiFi Channel Inhibition Request is hornored by BT Core

Currently, there is no antenna coupling information provided by uCode;
use module parameter to specified the antenna coupling in dB.

When in "full concurrency" mode, driver need to download different LUT
to uCode while sending bt configuration command; also, driver need to
configure the device operate in 1x1 while in full concurrency mode.

Johannes Berg 948f5a2f08 iwlwifi: refactor iwl_setup_rxon_timing
All callers of iwl_setup_rxon_timing() also send
the command right away, so rename the function
to iwl_send_rxon_timing() and move the sending
into it. Also, some callers clear the data, this
can be done always and thus moved in as well.
Finally, there's no reason for the function to
acquire the spinlock, but it should be called
with the mutex held, so assert that.

Shanyu Zhao 3edb5fd6ac iwlwifi: cleanup iwl_set_rxon_channel()
Update outdated comments of iwl_set_rxon_channel() to reflect the
current signature. Also remove the unnecessary validation of the
channel. Those channel info are constructed in iwlwifi driver
and mac80211 will never modify the content of the struct. Also
everytime before this function is called the channel info has
been validated already (as a paranoid check).

Shanyu Zhao aa2dc6b529 iwlwifi: avoid race condition in channel change
When iwl_mac_config() is called by mac80211, the channel pointer
hw->conf->channel can potentially change, resulting in mismatch
band and channel number when configuring RXON command. To avoid
this situation, save the channel pointer in local variables
and validate the channel before using it. Note that priv->mutex
is locked during the whole function so the local variables are safe.

Same change is applied to iwl_mac_channel_switch() since basically
it copies code from iwl_mac_config().

Also removed an outdated comment in the flow.
