As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
bitmaps.
This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
test the bits, along with new debugfs code.
The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with

This reverts commit 2ad69ac597. It
causes wireless device disappear when we get -EPROTO error form USB
request. I encounter such situation occasionally when resume form
suspend with RT3070 adapter:
[ 289.619985] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x06 failed for offset 0x0404 with error -71
[ 289.639368] ieee80211 phy0: rt2800_wait_bbp_ready: Error - BBP register access failed, aborting
[ 289.639374] ieee80211 phy0: rt2800usb_set_device_state: Error - Device failed to enter state 4 (-5)
Without the patch, except printing error, device works just fine after
resume.
Currently after timeouts and REGISTER_BUSY_COUNT tuning, we should
not have any "endless loop", though we can wait quite long when driver
is trying to communicate with the device through non functioning USB
connection. Generally the problem that commit 2ad69ac597 solves
is kinda artificial.

Currently implemented temperature compensation is only valid on some of
supported chips. Other chips do not need temperature compensation or
need different way to do this (not yet implemented in the rt2800
driver). Trying to do run rt2800_get_gain_calibration_delta() when this
is not appropriate on particular chip gives bogus result of TX power
and can make connection unstable.
This is follow up to commit 8c8d2017ba
"rt2800: fix RT5390 & RT3290 TX power settings regression". On that
commit we avoid setting BBP_R1 register, but the real problem is wrong

RT2800 and newer hardware require padding between header and payload if
header length is not multiple of 4.
For historical reasons we also align payload to to 4 bytes boundary, but
such alignment is not needed on modern H/W.
Patch fixes skb_under_panic problems reported from time to time:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84911https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72471http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=139108549530402&w=2https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1087591
Panic happened because we eat 4 bytes of skb headroom on each
(re)transmission when sending frame without the payload and the header
length not being multiple of 4 (i.e. QoS header has 26 bytes). On such
case because paylad_aling=2 is bigger than header_align=0 we increase
header_align by 4 bytes. To prevent that we could change the check to:
if (payload_length && payload_align > header_align)
header_align += 4;
but not aligning payload at all is more effective and alignment is not
really needed by H/W (that has been tested on OpenWrt project for few
years now).

We provide timeout value to rt2x00usb_vendor_request_buff() based on
number of registers to process. That value is passed down to
rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock() and ends in usb_control_msg(). But we
do not read/write all registers in rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock() at
once. We read/write them in chunks of 64 bytes in the loop, hence passed
timeout value to low level is too big.
Patch removes timeout argument from rt2x00usb_vendor_request_buff() and
use short REGISTER_TIMEOUT in rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock(). That
timeout value should be fine for 64 bytes and smaller requests. For
EEPROM read we introduced new timeout value equal to 2 seconds.
Patch fixes process uninterruptible sleep stalls for long period, when
USB bus has problem to satisfy a request and we wait very long time on
usb_start_wait_urb().

As reported by Niels, starting rfkill polling during device probe

device. I considered that bug as some initalization issue, which
should be fixed on rt2500pci specific code. But after several
attempts (see bug report for details) we fail to find working solution.
Hence I decided to revert to old behaviour on rt2500pci to fix
regression.
Additionally patch also unregister rfkill on device remove instead
of ifconfig down, what was another issue introduced by bad commit.
