mac80211: make off-channel work generic
triggered a bug in iwlwifi where HT parameters would not be correctly set in
some mac80211 pathways. The aggregation (and possibly other) station flags were
not being set, which limited the size of aggregation blocks and reduced
throughput at high rates.
>From Johannes:
"""
Due to Wey-Yi's patch to use the set-channel command when the channel changes
while associated, we don't get a full new RXON. Therefore, we don't re-set the
rxon-station either. However, under some circumstances that apparently have
gotten more likely mac80211 will first set up the BSS info, then add the
station and then switch to an HT channel type.
Therefore, the check for "priv->current_ht_config.is_ht" in
iwl_rxon_add_station() will hit false and not fill in the HT information.
However, that check can just be removed, which is the easiest fix for all this,
because the HT capa struct is always there, just could possibly have the
ht_supported member set to false.

In iwlagn the support for spectrum measurement command has been
disabled since v2.6.29 without any requests for it. In addition to this
when this command is indeed enabled it has been found to trigger firmware
SYSASSERT on at least 4965 and 5100 hardware (see
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 ). Since then
this code has been bitrotting and cannot just be enabled without porting.
Remove support for spectrum measurement command from iwlagn. It can be
added back if there is a future need and the firmware problem it triggers
has been fixed. Support for the spectrim measurement notification remains
as it has been enabled all the time.
In addition to this remove the 3945 spectrum measurement command Kconfig
option and make this command always supported. The code added by this
enabling is minimal and only run when user triggers a spectrum measurement
request via sysfs.

Adding "bt_coex_active" module parameter for iwlcore to enable/disable
BT coexist; if bt_coex_active is true (default), uCode will do kill/defer
every time the priority line is asserted (BT is sending signals on the
priority line in the PCIx). By disable the bt_coex_active, uCode will
ignore the BT activity and perform the normal operation.
Users might experience transmit issue on some platform due to this
WiFi/BT co-exist problem. The possible symptoms are: NetworkManager and
other similar programs can scan and find all the available APs, but will
timeout and unable to associate with any of the APs; no out-going frames
can be found with wireless sniffer tools.
On those platforms, WiFi communication can be restored by set "bt_coex_active"
module parameter to "false"

Add function pointer for broadcast station addition so that we can call it
in from iwlcore at a later time. We only distinguish between iwlagn and
iwl3945 broadcast station addition. For the iwl3945 station addition we add
that function to iwlcore since that is where most station functionality
resides, making it part of iwl3945 will require significant code
reorganization that will dilute station management functionality. This
seems to be an efficient solution.
It may seem as though we are removing error checking when adding the 3945
broadcast station but this error checking was never really necessary since
the function returns the station id and the broadcast station id is always
set.

We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment
and the radio is out of tune. There are lot of plcp errors indicating
this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the
Access Point. By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are
reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise.
To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication,
- The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on
the statistics notification from the uCode.
- It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via
the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.

This patch allows A band to be scanned when driver is associated to AP.
Scan mechanism is that mac80211/cfg80211 requests driver to scan G band
first and then immediately to scan A band. Original code require
driver to wait for 2 seconds after any scan before another scan will be
performed. This caused driver to service G band scan request from
mac80211/cfg80211 but deny the A band scan request.

Adding "radio reset" function to help reset and stabilize the radio.
During normal operation, sometime for unknown reason, radio encounter
problem and can not recover by itself; the best way to
recover from it is to reset and re-tune the radio. Currently, there is
no RF reset command available, but since radio will get reset when
switching channel, use internal hw scan request to force radio
reset and get back to normal operation state.
The internal hw scan will only perform passive scan on the first
available channel (not the channel being used) in associated state. The
request should be ignored if already performing scan operation or STA is
not in associated state.
Also include an "internal_scan" debugfs file to help trigger the
internal scan from user mode.

allow user to adjust the missed beacon threshold from debugfs in case
more sensitivity calibration required for better performance in noisy

The default value (=5) should be good enough for the normal condition,
but for very noisy environment, more sensitivity calibration could help
improve the throughput, so by setting the missed beacon threshold to
lower number, user might experience better performance result.
