Since HT protection is now configurable via mac80211 we don't need this
special case for PCI devices anymore. The HT protection config will be
overwritten as soon as mac80211 sends us a HT operation mode. Hence,
bring the HT MM40 protection config in sync with the other HT protection
registers and initialize it to no protection.

Fix a check for dynamic SM PS mode in the STAs HT caps. Since a
value of 3 means "SM PS disabled" the previous check assumed in
that case that "dynamic SM PS" was enabled and as such prefixed
every MCS>7 frame with a unnecessary RTS/CTS exchange. Also,
the bit shift was done in the wrong direction.

This patch changes the way tx status reports are handled by rt2800pci.
Previously rt2800pci would sometimes lose tx status reports as the
TX_STA_FIFO register is a fifo of 16 entries that can overflow in case
we don't read it often/fast enough. Since interrupts are disabled in the
device during the execution of the interrupt thread it happend sometimes
under high network and CPU load that processing took too long and a few
tx status reports were dropped by the hw.
To fix this issue the TX_STA_FIFO register is read directly in the
interrupt handler and stored in a kfifo which is large enough to hold
all status reports of all used tx queues.
To process the status reports a new tasklet txstatus_tasklet is used.
Using the already used interrupt thread is not possible since we don't
want to disable the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt while processing them and
it is not possible to schedule the interrupt thread multiple times for
execution. A tasklet instead can be scheduled multiple times which
allows to leave the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt enabled while a previously
scheduled tasklet is still executing.
In short: All other interrupts are handled in the interrupt thread as
before. Only the TX_FIFO_STATUS interrupt is partly handled in the
interrupt handler and finished in the according tasklet.
One drawback of this patch is that it duplicates some code from
rt2800lib. However, that can be cleaned up in the future once the
rt2800usb and rt2800pci tx status handling converge more.
Using this patch on a Ralink RT3052 embedded board gives me a reliable
wireless connection even under high CPU and network load. I've
transferred several gigabytes without any queue lockups.

The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because
of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn.
Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were
left with the job of filtering.
This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive
in terms of latency, memory and load.
Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible
filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to
offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check,
RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible.
Note:
This patch also includes all changes to the

Due to legacy reason, dating back to when the wl1251 and wl1271 still were
a unified driver, some work-structures are initialized on hardware startup.
The hardware recovery code creates a scenario in which it is possible for a
workstruct to be re-initialized while the work-function itself is running,
which causes a kernel WARNing and a subsequent reboot.
To remedy this, move the work initialization calls to the hw allocation,
which is the logically correct place for them anyway.

Since uCode is responsible for doing DC calibration, there's no need
to let init uCode to do initial DC calibration then send results
back to driver, then driver sends the results to runtime uCode.
Driver can simply tell runtime uCode to do DC calibration.
Actually, this patch does not disable DC calib for init uCode. It just
prevent driver from saving and sending the DC calib results (from init
ucode) to runtime uCode. The driver still uses 0xffffffff in
CALIB_CFG_CMD for init ucode.

iwlwifi driver supports multiple devices. Since some device needs
special configuration we create a new iwl_nic_ops structure which is
configurable per device. Currently there is only one function pointer
inside this structure: additional_nic_config().
The iwl_nic_ops structure is added to the top level in struct iwl_ops,
making it easier to change per device. Duplication of the iwl_lib_ops
structure is no longer needed.
With this new ops the previous function pointer set_calib_version is
no longer needed since it is just a per device nic configuration.
As part of the code restructuring, a bug is addressed. Indication of
calib version to uCode is only needed for 6050 devices, however,
current implementation set calib version for all 6000 devices for
which DC calib is needed. To fix this, create iwl6050_ops for 6050
devices and only populate iwl_nic_ops in this structure.

iwl3945's scan_completed calls into the mac80211 stack which triggers a
warn on if there is no scan outstanding.
This can be avoided by not calling scan_completed but abort_scan in
iwl3945_request_scan in the done: branch of the function which is used
as an error out.
The done: branch seems to be an error-out branch, as, for example, if
iwl_is_ready(priv) returns false the done: branch is executed.
NOTE:
I'm not familiar with the driver at all.
