1) Avoid global adapter pointer usage
a) in sdio.c by moving some code from mwifiex_cleanup_module() to
mwifiex_sdio_remove().
b) in main.c by passing an extra parameter to few functions.
2) Add new variable "user_rmmod" to identify if mwifiex_sdio_remove()
callback function is called in card removal or rmmod context. These
code changes are adapted from Libertas driver.
3) Remove unnecessary NULL pointer check for "func" pointer in
mwifiex_sdio_remove().

At http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10748 we are seeing a case of the
libertas firmware randomly stopping responding to commands after
resume. Careful monitoring of communications indicates a firmware or
hardware bug, which has been reported to Marvell.
Work around this issue by adding a reset_card method; this is
automatically called when command timeouts are detected and provides an
instant recovery to this situation.

We use priv->mutex to avoid race conditions between chswitch_done()
and mac_channel_switch(), when marking channel switch in
progress. But chswitch_done() can be called in atomic context
from rx_csa() or with mutex already taken from commit_rxon().
To fix remove mutex from chswitch_done() and use atomic bitops
for marking channel switch pending.

Padding per MSDU will affect the length of next packet and hence
the exact length of next packet is uncertain here.
Also, aggregation of transmission buffer, while downloading the
data to the card, wont gain much on the AMSDU packets as the AMSDU
packets utilizes the transmission buffer space to the maximum
(adapter->tx_buf_size).

Instead of counting the number of packets in txq
for particular RA list before AMSDU creation,
maintain a counter which will keep track of the

This will reduce some MIPS while generating AMSDU

of traversing through skb list.

Setting tx power can be deferred during scan or changing channel.
If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send
tx power settings also after partial rxon change, to assure device
always be configured with up-to-date settings.

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out
On 2.6.35 kernel patch helps against connection hangs with messages:
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: queue 10 stuck 3 time. Fw reload.
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: On demand firmware reload
