Change details:
- Add a callback in the BNA, which is called before sending FW command to stop
RxQs. After this callback is called, driver should not post anymore Rx
buffers to the RxQ. This addresses a small window where driver posts Rx
buffers while FW is stopping/has stopped the RxQ.
- Registering callback function, rx_stall_cbfn, during bna_rx_create.
Invoking callback function, rx_stall_cbfn, before sending rx_cfg_clr
command to FW
- Bnad_cb_rx_stall implementation - set a flag in the Rxq to mark buffer
posting disabled state. While posting buffers check for the above flag.

Change details:
- This patch contains the changes as a result of redesigning of Tx, Rx data
path setup. In the old design, setting up Txqs, Rxqs were done in the driver.
With the new design, most of the hardware setup steps for the Txq, Rxqs are
moved to FW. Host driver issues commands to FW through the message queue to
setup/teardown tx, rx data path. FW performs necessary steps and responds
back to the driver with a status.
- As a result of this redesign, the state machine implementation for Tx, Rx
objects have changed significantly. Instead of doing the raw register access,
these state machines mostly send a command to FW and wait for response and
take the next action. In addition to tx, rx datapath setup, this patch also
deals with rx filter configuration - such as unicast address, multicast
address, vlan filter, promiscuous mode etc.
