Ivo van Doorn 8a566afea0 rt2x00: Remove usage of IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_BEACON_INTERVAL
IEEE80211_CONF_CHANGE_BEACON_INTERVAL was deprecated a month ago,
it is about time to remove all usage from the rt2x00 drivers and
use the correct beacon interval configuration through the bss_info
structure.

Johannes Berg 2d0ddec5b2 mac80211: unify config_interface and bss_info_changed
The config_interface method is a little strange, it contains the
BSSID and beacon updates, while bss_info_changed contains most
other BSS information for each interface. This patch removes
config_interface and rolls all the information it previously
passed to drivers into bss_info_changed.

Ivo van Doorn 53bc647a1a rt2x00: Remove check for rf word 0
The only way rf_write() can be called with word 0 is
when the user sends the wrong word index through debugfs.
However the values which are send through debugfs are
validated using the RF_BASE and RF_SIZE macro values,
the most logical solution is to increase RF_BASE with 4
and decrease RF_SIZE with 4 (RF_SIZE has always been
1 word too big)

Restrict drivers to only access link_qual structure during
link tuning. The contents of these fields are for the drivers
and all fields are allowed to be changed to values the driver
considers correct.

This means that some fields need to be moved outside of this
structure to restrict access only to rt2x00link itself.
This allows some code to be moved outside of the rt2x00.h header

Ivo van Doorn eb20b4e8a6 rt2x00: Reduce calls to bbp_read()
The link_tuner() function will always call bbp_read()
at the start of the function. Because this is an
indirect register access has some costs attached
to it (especially for USB hardware).

We already store the value read from the register
into the vgc_level value inside the link structure.
Instead of reading from the register we can read that
field directly and base the tuner on that value.

This reduces the time the registers are locked with
the csr_mutex and speeds up the link_tuner processing.

Ivo van Doorn 8ff48a8bbe rt2x00: Fix race condition when using inderect registers
Indirect registers require multiple calls to the CSR
register in order to access the indirect registers.
This must be protected under a lock to prevent race
conditions which could cause invalid data to
be returned when reading from the indirect register or silent
failures when writing data to the indirect register.

USB drivers where already protected under a mutex,
so rename the mutex and make PCI drivers use the mutex
as well.
This now means that BBP and RF registers are no longer
accessible in interrupt context. That is not a bad
situation since the slow behavior of accessing
those registers means we don't _want_ to access them
in interrupt context either.

Some of the flags should be accessed atomically to
prevent race conditions. The flags that are most important

Thanks to Stephen for most of the queue flags updates,
which fixes some of the most obvious consequences of the
race conditions. Among those the notorious:

rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0.

as with fragmentation. In all those cases you want all frames to be

up entirely, thus we introduce a 10% threshold which, when reached,
will force the frames to be send out regardless of the frame.

In addition we should prevent queues to become full in such a way
that the tx() handler can fail. Instead of stopping the queue when
it is full, we should stop it when it is below the threshold.

In preparation of replacing the statically allocated data DMA buffers with DMA-mapped
skb's we need to change the TXD handling of the PCI drivers, by moving the programming
of the buffer address fields to the actual TXD writing at TX time, instead of at start-up
time.

Gertjan van Wingerde 61448f8807 rt2x00: Fix queue related oops in case of deselected mac80211 multi-queue feature.
With the integration of the mac80211 multiqueue patches it has become possible that the
mac80211 layer modifies the number of TX queues that is stored inside the ieee80211_hw
structure, especially when multi-queue is not selected.

The rt2x00 drivers are not well suited to handle that situation, as they allocate the
queue structures before mac80211 has modified the number of queues it is going to use,
and also expect the number of allocated queues to match the hardware implementation.

Hence, ensure that rt2x00 maintains by itself the number of queues that the hardware
supports, and, at the same time, making is not dependent on the preservation of contents
inside a mac80211 structure.

Ivo van Doorn 61486e0f68 rt2x00: Remove ieee80211_tx_control argument from write_tx_desc()
Move the last remaining information details read from ieee80211_tx_control
in the drivers to the txentry_desc structure. After this we can
remove ieee80211_tx_control from the argument list for the callback function,
which makes it easier when the control information is moved into skb->cb

Ivo van Doorn fb55f4d1fa rt2x00: Fix TX status reporting
The tx_status enumeration was broken since the introduction
of rt61pci. That driver uses different values to report the
status of the tx action.
This would lead to frames that were reported as success but
actually failed to be send out, or frames that were neither
successfull or failure which were reported as failure.

Fix this by change the TX status reporting and more explicitely
check for failure or success. Note that a third possibility is
added "unknown". Not all hardware (USB) can report the actual
TX status, for rt61pci some frames will receive this status
because the TXdone handler is never called for those frames.
This unknown will now be handled as neither success or failure,
so we no longer increment the failure counter while this conclusion
could not be determined from the real status of the frame.

Bruno Randolf 566bfe5a8b mac80211: use hardware flags for signal/noise units
trying to clean up the signal/noise code. the previous code in mac80211 had
confusing names for the related variables, did not have much definition of
what units of signal and noise were provided and used implicit mechanisms from
the wireless extensions.

this patch introduces hardware capability flags to let the hardware specify
clearly if it can provide signal and noise level values and which units it can
provide. this also anticipates possible new units like RCPI in the future.

for signal:

  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC - unspecified, unknown, hw specific
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB     - dB difference to unspecified reference point
  IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM    - dBm, difference to 1mW

for noise we currently only have dBm:

  IEEE80211_HW_NOISE_DBM     - dBm, difference to 1mW

if IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB is used the driver has
to provide the maximum value (max_signal) it reports in order for applications
to make sense of the signal values.

i tried my best to find out for each driver what it can provide and update it
but i'm not sure (?) for some of them and used the more conservative guess in
doubt. this can be fixed easily after this patch has been merged by changing
the hardware flags of the driver.

Ivo van Doorn e58c6aca99 rt2x00: Use rt2x00 queue numbering
Use the rt2x00 queue enumeration as much as possible,
removing the usage of the mac80211 queue numbering
wherever it is possible.

This makes it easier for mac80211 to change it queue
identification scheme without having to deal with
big changes in the rt2x00 code.

Ivo van Doorn 61c2b682b8 rt2x00: Fix quality/activity led handling
There was an obvious typo in LED structure
initialization which caused the radio and quality/activity
leds to be incorrectly initialized which resulted in
the leds not being enabled.

Additionally add the rt2x00led_led_activity() handler
that will enable TX/RX activity leds when the radio
is being enabled.
