Lorenzo Nava a3c0b87c4f 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.

Michael Buesch 3e3ccb3d9b 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.

Michael Buesch ce4fbdbf16 b43: Pass more RX flags to mac80211
This changes the RX handler to pass more status flags to mac80211.
It also changes part of the drop policy, if bad frames were requested. (Note that

Michael Buesch bdceeb2dad b43: Optimize DMA buffers
In the old days we used one slot per frame. But when we changed that to 2,
we didn't raise the overall slot count. Which resulted in an effective
division of two to the number of slots.

Double the number of TX slots, so we have an effective hardware queue
of 128 frames per QoS queue.

Also optimize the TX header cache handling. We don't need a cached TX header
for slots that will never carry an actual header.
So we reduce the memory consumption of the cache by 50%.

So as a net result we end up with more or less the same memory usage before
and after this patch (except a few tiny meta structures), but have twice
the number of TX slots available.

Michael Buesch 060210f938 b43: Dynamically control log verbosity
Dynamically control the log verbosity with a module parameter.
This enables us to dynamically enable debugging messages (or disable
info, warn, error messages) via module parameter or /sys/module/b43/parameters/verbose.

This increases the module size by about 3k. But in practice it reduces the
module size for the user, because some distributions ship the b43 module
with CONFIG_B43_DEBUG set, which increases the module by about 15k.

So with this patch applied, distributions should really _disable_ CONFIG_B43_DEBUG.
There is no reason to keep it in a production-release kernel.
So we have a net reduction in size by about 12k.

This patch also adds a printk of the wireless core revision, so people
don't have to enable SSB debugging to get the wireless core revision.

First probe for proprietary firmware and then probe for opensource firmware.
This way around it's a win-win situation.
1) If proprietary fw is available, it will work.
2) If opensource firmware is available, but no proprietary (Distros can only ship open fw)
   it might work.
3) If both open and proprietary are available, it will work, because it selects
   the proprietary. We currently don't prefer the open fw in this case, because it doesn't
   work on all devices. It would introduce a regression otherwise.

The remaining FIXMEs in this patch are harmless, because they only matter on multiband

Michael Buesch d10d0e5707 b43: Fix some MAC locking
This fixes some locking w.r.t. the lower MAC (firmware).
It also removes a lot of ancient IRQ-locking that's not needed anymore.
We simply suspend the MAC. That's easier and causes less trouble.

Johannes Berg 1e87d68083 b43: remove rate index warning
I frequently run into this warning, and added some
debugging to see why, and got this:

b43 bad rx: 00000000: 2f d2 e2 63 cf a7 14 04 28 18 c8 5f 88 4a a2 00
                      bogus junk       | plcp            | fctl| dur

b43 bad rx: 00000010: 00 11 24 91 07 4d 00 06 25 ff 8f 78 00 06 25 ff
                      my MAC address   | BSSID           | AP MAC
b43 bad rx: 00000020: 8f 76 20 74 00 00 42 07 00 20 00 00 00 00 aa aa

                      ...

As you can see, there are 6 bogus bytes (sometimes only five) and then
the frame. I don't know why, and I don't see how to recover, so let's
just drop these frames.

Johannes Berg c7ab5ef9bc b43: implement short slot and basic rate handling
This implements proper short slot handling and adds code to
program the hardware for the correct response rates derived
from the basic rate set for the current BSS.

Johannes Berg 71c11fb57b b43/legacy: remove SSID code
The SSID programmed into the device is used by the ucode only
to reply to probe requests, a functionality we disable anyway
because it doesn't fit with the mac80211/hostapd programming
model. Therefore, it isn't useful to program the SSID into
device.

Johannes Berg e6a9854b05 mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API
So after the previous changes we were still unhappy with how
convoluted the API is and decided to make things simpler for
everybody. This completely changes the rate control API, now
taking into account 802.11n with MCS rates and more control,
most drivers don't support that though.
