Reinette Chatre 897e1cf29e iwlwifi: move rate registration to module load
Having rate registration during module load enables the use of
error checking as well as reliable registration/unregistration
pairing. Previously this was not possible as rate registration
was done during _probe where _probe could be run for more than
one device on the system.

Mohamed Abbas ab53d8af67 iwlwifi: Add led support
This patch add LEDS support to 3965 and 4965 drivers. It is based on
led trigger and class. For our drivers we needed to avoid two things.
1- We receive led trigger on/off on each Rx\Tx frame. In our driver
    we can not call led command like that. In this driver once driver
    receive a start of traffic it call the led command to start blinking
    then we count all bytes of Tx and Rx frame, after two second we count the
    blink rate of last two second then id blink rate changed we call the led
     commands
2- Since we can call led command very often, we make sure we call the
    led command after we receive the statistics notification so
    we don't need to wake up the ucode id it is in sleep state.
    This patch was tested with 4965 and 3945.

Johannes Berg 8318d78a44 cfg80211 API for channels/bitrates, mac80211 and driver conversion
This patch creates new cfg80211 wiphy API for channel and bitrate
registration and converts mac80211 and drivers to the new API. The
old mac80211 API is completely ripped out. All drivers (except ath5k)
are updated to the new API, in many cases I expect that optimisations
can be done.

Along with the regulatory code I've also ripped out the
IEEE80211_HW_DEFAULT_REG_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED flag, I believe it to be
unnecessary if the hardware simply gives us whatever channels it wants
to support and we then enable/disable them as required, which is pretty
much required for travelling.

Additionally, the patch adds proper "basic" rate handling for STA
mode interface, AP mode interface will have to have new API added
to allow userspace to set the basic rate set, currently it'll be
empty... However, the basic rate handling will need to be moved to
the BSS conf stuff.

I do expect there to be bugs in this, especially wrt. transmit
power handling where I'm basically clueless about how it should work.

  or external element.
- requests by mac80211 to low-level driver to start/stop Tx aggregation.
  notice that low level driver responds now with Starting Sequence Number.
- async feedback by low-level to mac80211 to inform that HW is ready for

Reinette Chatre 74a3a2509d iwlwifi: cleanup usage of inline functions
Be consistent when using inline functions. If the function only used
once we move it to where it is used - no need for externs.

Zhu Yi 5a66926aa9 iwlwifi: delay firmware loading from pci_probe to network interface open
This patch moves the firmware loading (read firmware from disk and load
it into the device SRAM) from pci_probe time to the first network
interface open time. There are two reasons for doing this:

1. To support kernel buildin iwlwifi drivers. Because kernel initializes
   network devices subsystem before hard disk and SATA subsystem, it is
   impossible to get the firmware image from hard disk in the PCI probe
   handler. Thus delaying the firmware loading into the network
   interface open time is the way to go. Note, we only read the firmware
   image from hard disk the first time the interface is open. After this
   is succeeded, we cache the firmware image into the host memory. This
   is a performance gain when user open and close the interface multiple
   times and is necessary for device suspend and resume.

2. For better power saving. When the iwlwifi modules are loaded (or
   buildin the kernel) but the wireless network interface is not being
   used, it is a good practice the wireless device consumes as less
   power as possible. Unloading the firmware from the wireless device
   and unregister the driver's interrupt handler in the network
   interface close handler provides users a way to achieve this. User
   space network configuration tools (i.e NetworkManager) can also
   contribute here when it detects a wired cable is connected and
   close the wireless interface automatically.

This patch also includes the pci_save/restore_state() fixed by Ian Schram
upon the first version.

Tomas Winkler 87e4f7dfe5 iwlwifi: remove iwl4965_tx_cmd
This patch removes iwl4965_tx_cmd function and splits its content to
iwl4965_hw_build_tx_cmd_rate, iwl4965_build_tx_cmd_basic,
and iwl4965_tl_get_stats function. The latest one will be deprecated
when traffic load will move to rate scale module.
