Kalle Valo 9a7308341b ath6kl: silence "invalid rate" warning
For some reason firmware is sending invalid rates when we try to
query current bitrate from ath6kl_get_station() and a warning is issued:

[ 3810.415720] ath6kl: invalid rate: 1935633515
[ 3811.105493] ath6kl: invalid rate: 1935633515
[ 3811.556063] ath6kl: invalid rate: 1935633515

As the warning happens way too often, convert the warning to a debug
message once we have a proper fix. But to make it easy to follow
how often the problem appears, add a debugfs to print
various statistics about workarounds and make this issue the first WAR.

Jouni Malinen 551185ca0a ath6kl: Update BSS information after connection
Since we may end up using a dummy BSS entry when roaming, allow one Beacon
frame -based bssinfo from the current BSS to be processed prior to starting
to filter all bssinfo events. This allows cfg80211 BSS table to be filled
with proper data in the roaming case where the full Beacon data may not
have been present at the time of roamed event.

Kalle Valo a01ac4144e ath6kl: refactor firmware load address code
Currently the load address was calculated everytime when it was needed,
and with a mess if clauses. Simplify this by adding a field to struct

statements.

Also move the code just after target version is retrieved. That way it's
easier to override the values later in the boot process.

Jouni Malinen 572e27c00c ath6kl: Fix AP mode connect event parsing and TIM updates
This cleans up the connect event parsing by defining a union in
struct wmi_connect_event to match with the three possible sets of
fields that the target uses depending on which type of connect
event is being indicated. In addition, two AP cases are now
separated from ath6kl_connect_event() so that correct field names
can be used to make it actually possible to understand what the
code is doing.

The bug hiding in the previous mess was in parsing the AID incorrectly
when processing the new station connecting event in AP mode. The fix
here for that is also fixing TIM updates for PS buffering to use the
correct AID.

Kalle Valo addb44be03 ath6kl: cleanup diagnose window read and write functions
Just to make them a bit easier to read and unify naming. 32 suffix
in the function name means that it will be a 32 bit transfer. If there's
no number a buffer is transfered instead.

Use void pointers to get rid of ugly casts.

Don't provide target address as a pointer, pass it by value. Same for
the value used in write32().

Kalle Valo bdcd817079 Add ath6kl cleaned up driver
Last May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which is
currently in staging. The work has happened in a separate
ath6kl-cleanup tree:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summary

After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would
like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless
trees and replacing the staging driver.

The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.
The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49
kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107
to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26
to zero :)

There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we
decided to omit for now:

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31:
  WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527:
  WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms;
  see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt

The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific
structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have
any big endian hardware to test that right now.

We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The
code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.

Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:

o HCI over SDIO support
o nl80211 testmode
o firmware logging
o suspend support

Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI
over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to
share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research
more.

Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.
As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I
decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16
and sle32, especially from wmi.h.

Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall of
fame based on number of patches is:
