mwifiex_get_random_ba_threshold() uses a complex homegrown implementation
to generate a pseudo-random number from the current time as returned
from do_gettimeofday().
This currently requires two 32-bit divisions plus a couple of other
computations that are eventually discarded as only eight bits of
the microsecond portion are used at all.
We could replace this with a call to get_random_bytes(), but that
might drain the entropy pool too fast if this is called for each
packet.
Instead, this patch converts it to use ktime_get_ns(), which is a
bit faster than do_gettimeofday(), and then uses a similar algorithm
as before, but in a way that takes both the nanosecond and second
portion into account for slightly-more-but-still-not-very-random
pseudorandom number.

If tx_pkts_queued is increased for tx paused receive address, tx process
will be triggered for this packet. But since RA list was tx paused,
there will be an infinite loop in mwifiex_wmm_process_tx waiting for the
event(tx pause, tdls cs) to cancel tx pause. This will be an dead loop,
since main_process was locked at this time, there will be no opportunity
to process event.

While TDLS link is being setup, few packets from this station to
peer station may be buffered at AP. It may happen that once TDLS
link is setup, packets sent from station to peer on direct link
get delivered before traffic from AP arrives at peer station.
This results into packet reordering issue at peer station.
To avoid this, we hold data packets destined to TDLS peer during
TDLS setup. These packets are moved to temperory TDLS TX queue.
Upon successful TDLS setup, they are moved to RA list created for
this peer. Upon failure, packets are moved back to AP's RA list
for that particular TID.

Bug 60815 - Interface hangs in mwifiex_usb
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60815
We have 4 bytes of interface header for packets delivered to SDIO
and PCIe, but not for USB interface.
In Tx AMSDU case, currently 4 bytes of garbage data is unnecessarily
appended for USB packets. This sometimes leads to a firmware hang,
because it may not interpret the data packet correctly.
Problem is fixed by removing this redundant headroom for USB.
