As indicated by note in iwl_ht_conf, some HT parameters are set on association
(e.g., channel width) and some vary over time (HT protection mode) and per
station (e.g., short GI support). The global parameters should be set in
iwl_mac_config and the local/varying parameters in iwl_ht_conf.
This patch moves the channel width configuration from iwl_ht_conf to
iwl_mac_config, and defers further cleanup of the local/global conflation for a
later patch.
This fixes a bug in using HT40 channels in some modes.

Depending on required latency requested by pm_qos (via mac80211)
we can automatically adjust the sleep state. Also, mac80211 has
a user-visible dynamic sleep feature where we are supposed to
stay awake after sending/receiving frames to better receive
response frames to our packets, this can be integrated into the
sleep command.
Currently, and this patch doesn't change that yet, we default
to using sleep level 1 if PS is enabled. With a module parameter
to iwlcore, automatic adjustment to changing network latency
requirements can be enabled -- this isn't yet the default due
to requiring more testing.
The goal is to enable automatic adjustment and then go into the
deepest possible sleep state possible depending on the networking
latency requirements.
This patch does, however, enable IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS
to avoid the double-timer (one in software and one in the device)
when transmitting -- the exact timeout may be ignored but that is
not of big concern.
Note also that we keep the hard-coded power indices around for
thermal throttling -- the specification of that calls for using
the specified power levels. Those can also be selected in debugfs
to allow easier testing of such parameters.

commit "iwlwifi: uCode Alive notification with timeout" introduced a more
reliable mechanism for ucode loading. Unfortunately we hit a problem with
it frequently enough to make a 4965 unusable. The problem can be seen in
debug log below. What this code attempts is to set runtime ucode up to
load, start a timer to wait for the alive response from runtime ucode, and
if it times out it tries again. As can be seen below we receive the alive
response and wake the waiting task _before_ the tasks starts waiting. The
task thus times out as the alive response is not received while it is
waiting for it and it restarts the device. This starts the cycle all over
again.

Commit "iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly" cleaned up the
debug level handling. In doing so it created a single global debug
level for all devices. Some setups do consits of more that one iwlwifi

should be unique per device.
We now re-introduce the per device debugging while maintaining the
cleanup effort of the previous patch.
The maintain the global debug level and now introduce a per-device debug
level that will be used if it (the per-device debug level) is set. The
per-device debug level can be controlled via the debug_level sysfs file
while the global debug level is controlled by the debug module parameter.

A regression was added through patch a4ed90d6:
"cfg80211: respect API on orig_flags on channel for beacon hint"
We did indeed respect _orig flags but the intention was not clearly
stated in the commit log. This patch fixes firmware issues picked
up by iwlwifi when we lift passive scan of beaconing restrictions
on channels its EEPROM has been configured to always enable.
By doing so though we also disallowed beacon hints on devices
registering their wiphy with custom world regulatory domains
enabled, this happens to be currently ath5k, ath9k and ar9170.
The passive scan and beacon restrictions on those devices would
never be lifted even if we did find a beacon and the hardware did
support such enhancements when world roaming.
Since Johannes indicates iwlwifi firmware cannot be changed to
allow beacon hinting we set up a flag now to specifically allow
drivers to disable beacon hints for devices which cannot use them.
We enable the flag on iwlwifi to disable beacon hints and by default
enable it for all other drivers. It should be noted beacon hints lift
passive scan flags and beacon restrictions when we receive a beacon from
an AP on any 5 GHz non-DFS channels, and channels 12-14 on the 2.4 GHz
band. We don't bother with channels 1-11 as those channels are allowed
world wide.
This should fix world roaming for ath5k, ath9k and ar9170, thereby
improving scan time when we receive the first beacon from any AP,
and also enabling beaconing operation (AP/IBSS/Mesh) on cards which
would otherwise not be allowed to do so. Drivers not using custom
regulatory stuff (wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory()) were not affected
by this as the orig_flags for the channels would have been cleared
upon wiphy registration.
I tested this with a world roaming ath5k card.

The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess:
1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver
and device data in a single packed structure -- this
is very confusing
2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a
structure by embedding the latter in the former, which
is also rather confusing because it leads to weird
unions and similarly odd constructs
3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands,
even if only 32 end up being used
This patch fixes these things:
1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of
command metadata and device command separately, in
two arrays in each tx queue
2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only
put in the required members
3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of
embedding them into the txq structure

Part 1 of Thermal Throttling Management -
Thermal Throttling feature is used to put NIC into low power state when
driver detect the Radio temperature reach pre-defined threshold
Two Thermal Throttling Management Methods; this patch introduce the
Legacy Thermal Management:
IWL_TI_0: normal temperature, system power state
IWL_TI_1: high temperature detect, low power state
IWL_TI_2: higher temperature detected, lower power state
IWL_TI_CT_KILL: critical temperature detected, lowest power state
Once get into CT_KILL state, uCode go into sleep, driver will stop all
the active queues, then move to IWL_TI_CT_KILL state; also set up 5
seconds timer to toggle CSR flag, uCode wake up upon CSR flag change,
then measure the temperature.
If temperature is above CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode go backto sleep;
if temperature is below CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode send Card State
Notification response with appropriate CT_KILL status flag, and uCode
remain awake, Driver receive Card State Notification Response and update
the card temperature to the CT_KILL exit threshold.

* Deprecate the "debug50" module parameter used to obtain
5000 series and up debugging. Replace it with "debug" module
parameter to match with original driver and be consistent
between them. The "debug50" module parameter can still be used,
except that the module parameter is not writable in keeping
with its previous state. We currently just mark it as "deprecated"
and do not have it in the feature-removal-schedule. Some more
cleanup of module parameters needs to be done and can then be
entered together.
* Only make "debug" module parameters visible if the driver
is compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG. This will eliminate
a lot of confusion where users think they have set debug flags
but yet cannot see any debug output.
* Make module parameters writable. This eliminates the need for the
"debug_level" sysfs file, which can now also be deprecated and
added to feature-removal-schedule. This file is in significant
use though with many iwlwifi documents and text referring users
to it. We can thus not take its removal lightly and keep it around.
With iwlcore shared between iwlagn and iwl3945 we really do not need
debug module parameters for each but can instead have one debug
module parameter for the iwlcore module. The same issue is here as
with the sysfs file - a lot of iwlwifi documentation and text (like
bug reports) rely on iwlagn and iwl3945 having this module parameter,
so changing this to a module parameter of iwlcore will have significant
impact and we do not do this for that reason.
One consequence of this patch is that if a user is running a system
with both 3945 and later hardware then the setting of the one module
parameter will affect the value of the other. The likelihood of this
seems low - and even if this setup is present it does not seem like an
issue for both modules to run with the same debug level.

Sending RX interrupt require many steps to be done in the

1- write interrupt to current index in ICT table.
2- dma RX frame.
3- update RX shared data to indicate last write index.
4- send interrupt.
This could lead to RX race, driver could receive RX interrupt
but the shared data changes does not reflect that.
this could lead to RX race, RX periodic will solve this race

Add ICT interrupt handler support, ICT should improve CPU utilization
since it does not require target read which is very expensive. This
interrupt handler only added to 5000 cards and newer. Device will write
interrupts to ICT shared table to inform driver about its interrupts.
These patches will not touch 3945 and 4965 interrupt handlers and tasklet.

Fix the bug when using 11n "pure 40MHz" mode cause uCode
crashing by adding support for "pure 40MHz" in RX_ON command flag.
the "mode" field (bits 25:26) has value of 0-3
0 = 20 MHz only
1 = 40MHz only
2 = Mixed
3 = Reserved
Control Channel ID (bit 22) is valid only in Mixed mode.

Add new lock to be used when accessing some registers. Also move
the register lock and iwl_grab_nic_access inside the function for register access. This
will prevent from forgetting to hold locks and nic access in the right way and make code
easier to maintain.
We over use the priv->lock spin lock and I guess we need to add new
one for Tx queue after that we might need to change most of these lock to
BH and just keep priv->lock as irq type.

This removes all the dead code that tries to adjust the power
saving level based on the system AC state (inacceptable policy
in the kernel) or based on overtemp conditions (unused).
Also, pass _all_ policy wrt. enabling PS to mac80211, since
we do not use the power_disabled internally I now use that to
mirror the mac80211 CONF_PS setting. When mac80211 turns off
CONF_PS we follow suit. This means that the user power level
(which can currently only be set from sysfs) is not touched
for mac80211 powersave changes.
This means no "association status" checks are necessary since
mac80211 will not allow power save to be enabled when not
associated.

There really is no need to have a separate struct for a
single variable. The fact that it exists is due to the
code legacy, but we can remove that now. Very simple.

Some issues in PS prevent us from supporting it reliably.
When 4965 goes to sleep it stores some data in host DRAM, reads it back
when device wakes up. In 4965 there is a problem that the data is not
correct when ucode starts using it upon wakeup.
For all iwlagn devices there is a problem where command is sent when PS is
enabled. At the moment there is a locking problem with priv->lock not being
held and thus not requesting nic access correctly.
We disable PS until these issues have been resolved.
