Larry Finger da17fcffb1 rtlwifi: rtl8192c: rtl8192ce: rtl8192cu: rtl8192se: rtl8192de: Shorten some variable names
The private data areas for these drivers contain some very long variable
names that cause difficulty in fitting source lines to an 80-character
limit.

Larry Finger 0bd899e764 rtlwifi: rtl8192c: rtl8192ce: Add support for B-CUT version of RTL8188CE
Realtek devices with designation RTL8188CE-VL have the so-called B-cut
of the wireless chip. This patch adds the special programming needed by
these devices. In addition, a variable that was static has been moved into
the private data area as it is now needed in two different routines. This
change also fixes a minor bug that would be present if a system had more
than one RTL81{88,92}CE devices. Other drivers in the rtlwifi family had
already made this change, thus the variable already exists in the private
data structure.

Johannes Berg 50febf6a1a mac80211: use a counter for remain-on-channel cookie
Instead of using the pointer which can be re-used
fairly quickly due to allocator patterns and then
makes debugging difficult, maintain a counter and
use its value. Since it's a 64-bit value it can't
really wrap, but catch that case anyway since it
most likely points to a bug somewhere.

Johannes Berg 8a2fbedcdc mac80211: combine status/drop reporting
The TX status reporting is done for both the
nl80211 report as well as the socket option.
The socket option is also reported when an
skb is dropped to guarantee that the copy in
the IDR tree is freed and status is reported
to userspace.

However, when a frame is dropped, no nl80211
status is reported. This can cause userspace
to stop making progress while waiting for a
status notification.

Combine the nl80211 and socket option status
reporting into a new function and call it in
both places -- when the status comes in from
the driver and when the skb is dropped.

While at it, also simplify the code in the
nl80211 portion a bit.

Johannes Berg 1ea6f9c0d4 mac80211: handle TX power per virtual interface
Even before channel contexts/multi-channel, having a
single global TX power limit was already problematic,
in particular if two managed interfaces connected to
two APs with different power constraints. The channel
context introduction completely broke this though and
in fact I had disabled TX power configuration there
for drivers using channel contexts.

Change everything to track TX power per interface so
that different user settings and different channel
maxima are treated correctly. Also continue tracking
the global TX power though for compatibility with
applications that attempt to configure the wiphy's
TX power globally.

Johannes Berg c8442118ad cfg80211: allow per interface TX power setting
The TX power setting is currently per wiphy (hardware
device) but with multi-channel capabilities that doesn't
make much sense any more.

Allow drivers (and mac80211) to advertise support for
per-interface TX power configuration. When the TX power
is configured for the wiphy, the wdev will be NULL and
the driver can still handle that, but when a wdev is
given the TX power can be set only for that wdev now.

Johannes Berg 71fe96bf9d nl80211: move "can set channel" check
Setting the wdev to NULL when the channel can't be
set for that interface type (to treat the channel
setting for the wiphy/monitor) currently works, but
is confusing in the code if netdev/wdev aren't both
set/unset in the same way. Move the check whether
the channel can be set to where it's needed so that
wdev and netdev are always both assigned or NULL.

Johannes Berg e826117142 mac80211_hwsim: allow using channel contexts
To use mac80211_hwsim for testing channel contexts it
has to support them, and for that it has to support
hw scan and hw-remain-on-channel.

Since it's pure software, the off-channel activities
are really not off-channel but listening and sending
on a second channel. Also, the multi-channel isn't
really doing TDM, it's just on both channels at the
same time.

For testing purposes, you can specify the number of
concurrent channels with a module parameter, it is
set to one by default. When set to two or more, the
userspace API for wmediumd is disabled as it has no
provisions for multi-channel yet.

Pontus Fuchs b7d572e187 ar5523: Add new driver
This driver is for the AR5523 chipset from Atheros. It was created
in 2007 by Christoph Hellwig but it was never finished. I found it a
couple of months ago and after some polishing it's working pretty
fine.

The driver was written with the FreeBSD driver (uath) as reference,
which was written with the reverse-engineered windows driver as
reference, hence the feature set is very limited. Station mode
only, no HW crypto offload.

passes them on to mac80211. As a result of
continuous updates, it grew over the years when
new code was added by the following commits:
	- report A-MPDU status
	- fix HT peer BA session corruption
	- A-MPDU frame type filter
	- ...

This patch splits the routine into two stages.
The first stage only deals with the details
about extracting and verifying the data from
the incoming stream. Whereas the second stage
packs it into skbs and passes it on to mac80211.

Avinash Patil f3b369e40a mwifiex: rx path enhancement to derive priv only once
We derive mwifiex_private structure which is per interface from
received skb's rx_info. Once priv is derived, same priv can be
propagated to other functions instead of callee deriving priv
from rx_info again.

Avinash Patil 3a5b8a1685 mwifiex: handle extended supported rates IE for AP
During start_ap handler, some rates come as extended supported
rates IE - part of beacon tail IE. This patch adds support for
parsing them and adding to bss_rates TLV for bss_start command
to firmware.

Amitkumar Karwar 22db24976f Revert "mwifiex: retrieve correct max_power information in reg_notifier handler"
This reverts commit 34202e28fe

We made "34202ee.." because we didn't support custom regulatory rules
at that time. But now we use our own custom regulatory rules, so it
needs to be changed back.

Also, chan->max_power calculations in cfg80211 were broken. Hence we
started using chan->max_reg_power. Now it has got fixed in
following commit.

    wireless: reg: restore previous behaviour of chan->max_power calculations

Hence we will use chan->max_power instead of chan->max_reg_power.

Amitkumar Karwar f3e1af3e18 mwifiex: disable channel filtering for SSID specific scan from user
If MWIFIEX_DISABLE_CHAN_FILT bit in scan mode bitmap is set,
firmware will turn off the filtering of scan responses from
adjacent channels.

Currently the bit is set only for internal SSID specific scan
performed during association. We will set it for user requested
SSID specific scan as well.
