RX is handled in a workqueue therefore allocating for GFP_ATOMIC
is overkill and not required.

Use the new ieee80211_rx_ni() function instead of ieee80211_rx(). Since we
use a workqueue to handle the RX path, we need to call the new function,
which disables bottom half handling. This patch fixes the NOHZ:
local_softirq_pending messages.

We were not handling endianess correctly. The wl1271 chip runs on
little-endian values. This patch makes sure that all the communication with
the wl1271 firmware is done in little-endian by using cpu_to_le* and
le*_to_cpu where appropriate.
Also, all the struct definitions for data exchanged with the firmware has
been changed to use __le16/32 types instead of u16/32.
This fixes a few sparse warnings, such as these:

Fixed checking of status of the received packet. On wl1251 status is in the
flags field of the descriptor, on wl1271 there is a separate status field.

With the change to the new firmware, there was a change to firmware memory
partitioning. Along with that change, the translation of all partitions was
unified, and separate functions for reg and mem access became unnecessary.
Cleanup the unnecessary functions.

The qual element in ieee80211_rx_status is not used anymore, so we don't need
to set it in the wl1271_rx_status() function. This saves a bit of time in
the RX path.

This driver supports the wl1271 chipset from Texas Instruments based on the
WiLink(tm) 6.0 mobile platform. Support for wl1273 should be relatively easy
to add. This chipset is designed for embedded devices, with good powersaving
capabilities. The wl1271 chipset is the successor of wl1251 and supports the
802.11b/g/n standards, but currently this driver supports only b/g.
More information about this chipset can be found here:
