Link tuning code from the legacy rt2570 driver turned out to be
harmful and got disabled by the commit d06193f ("rt2x00: Disable
link tuning in rt2500usb") in August 2008.
There is no reason to keep this dead code any longer so remove it
(it can still be retrieved from the git history if necessary).

The calculated values for the ACK timeout and ACK
consume time are different then the values as
used by the Legacy drivers.
After testing from James Ledwith it appeared that
the calculated values caused a high amount of TX
failures, and the values from the Legacy drivers
were the most optimal to prevent TX failure due to
excessive retries.
The symptoms of this problem:
- Rate control module always falls back to 1Mbs
- Low throughput when bitrate was fixed
Possible side-effects (not confirmed but highly likely)
- Problems with DHCP
- Broken connections due to lack of probe response
This should fix at least:
Kernel bugzilla reports: [13362], [13009], [9273]
Fedora bugzilla reports: [443203]
but possible some additional bugs as well.

When beacon is being updated to refresh TIM (AP mode), beacon frames are
de-synchronizing (i.e. two neighbor beacon frames - before and after
update - are being transmitted with a wrong time interval).
That is because xxx_write_beacon should disable beacon generation only
while beacon data are being uploaded to the device, but it should not
disable the beacon clock.

Implement set_tim callback for all rt2x00 drivers, this makes the
device wake up powersaving stations properly while in AP mode.
The only way to update the beacon is by simply calling mac80211 and
requesting the new beacon. This means the set_tim() event is mostly the
same as a beacon_done() event which was already defined in rt2x00lib.

The only way rf_write() can be called with word 0 is
when the user sends the wrong word index through debugfs.
However the values which are send through debugfs are
validated using the RF_BASE and RF_SIZE macro values,

and decrease RF_SIZE with 4 (RF_SIZE has always been

Restrict drivers to only access link_qual structure during
link tuning. The contents of these fields are for the drivers
and all fields are allowed to be changed to values the driver
considers correct.
This means that some fields need to be moved outside of this

The TXD_W0_CIPHER field is a 1-bit field. It only acts as boolean value
to indicate if the frame must be encrypted or not.
The way rt2x00_set_field32() worked it would grab the least signifcant bit
from txdesc->cipher and use that as value. Because of that WEP 64 and TKIP
worked since they had odd-numbered values, while WEP 128 and AES were
even numbers and didn't work.
Correctly booleanize the txdecs->cipher value to allow the hardware to
encrypt the outgoing data. After this we can enable HW crypto by default again.

Instead of hardcoding the used in/out endpoints
we should detect them by walking through all
available endpoints.
rt2800usb will gain the most out of this, because
the legacy drivers indicate that there are multiple
endpoints available.
However this code might benefit at least rt73usb as
well for the MIMO queues, and if we are really lucky
rt2500usb will benefit because for the TX and PRIO
queues.
Even if rt2500usb and rt73usb do not get better performance
after this patch, the endpoint detection still belongs to
rt2x00usb, and it shouldn't hurt to always try to detect
the available endpoints.

Indirect registers require multiple calls to the CSR
register in order to access the indirect registers.
This must be protected under a lock to prevent race
conditions which could cause invalid data to
be returned when reading from the indirect register or silent
failures when writing data to the indirect register.
USB drivers where already protected under a mutex,
so rename the mutex and make PCI drivers use the mutex
as well.
This now means that BBP and RF registers are no longer
accessible in interrupt context. That is not a bad
situation since the slow behavior of accessing
those registers means we don't _want_ to access them
in interrupt context either.

Some of the flags should be accessed atomically to

are those that can change often and indicate the actual

The big flag rename was done to move all state flags to
the same naming type as the other rt2x00dev flags and
made sure all places where the flags were used were changed. ;)
Thanks to Stephen for most of the queue flags updates,

race conditions. Among those the notorious:
