Emmanuel Grumbach e3abc8ff0f mac80211: allow to transmit A-MSDU within A-MPDU
Advertise the capability to send A-MSDU within A-MPDU
in the AddBA request sent by mac80211. Let the driver
know about the peer's capabilities.

Johannes Berg df1404650c mac80211: remove support for IFF_PROMISC
This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with
the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the
monitor mode support should be used instead.

Removing it removes a lot of corner cases.

David S. Miller 7b6249bba9 Lots of updates for net-next; along with the usual flurry
of small fixes, cleanups and internal features we have:
  * VHT support for TDLS and IBSS (conditional on drivers though)
  * first TX performance improvements (the biggest will come later)
  * many suspend/resume (race) fixes
  * name_assign_type support from Tom Gundersen

Dedy Lansky 6eb1813764 cfg80211: add bss_type and privacy arguments in cfg80211_get_bss()
802.11ad adds new a network type (PBSS) and changes the capability
field interpretation for the DMG (60G) band.
The same 2 bits that were interpreted as "ESS" and "IBSS" before are
re-used as a 2-bit field with 3 valid values (and 1 reserved). Valid
values are: "IBSS", "PBSS" (new) and "AP".

In order to get the BSS struct for the new PBSS networks, change the
cfg80211_get_bss() function to take a new enum ieee80211_bss_type
argument with the valid network types, as "capa_mask" and "capa_val"
no longer work correctly (the search must be band-aware now.)

The remaining bits in "capa_mask" and "capa_val" are used only for
privacy matching so replace those two with a privacy enum as well.

Ido Yariv db12847ca8 mac80211: Re-fix accounting of the tailroom-needed counter
When hw acceleration is enabled, the GENERATE_IV or PUT_IV_SPACE flags
only require headroom space. Therefore, the tailroom-needed counter can
safely be decremented for most drivers.

The older incarnation of this patch (ca34e3b5) assumed that the above
holds true for all drivers. As reported by Christopher Chavez and
researched by Christian Lamparter and Larry Finger, this isn't a valid
assumption for p54 and cw1200.

Drivers that still require tailroom for ICV/MIC even when HW encryption
is enabled can use IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM to indicate it.

Johannes Berg 848955ccf0 mac80211: move U-APSD enablement to vif flags
In order to let drivers have more dynamic U-APSD support,
move the enablement flag to the virtual interface driver
flags. This lets drivers not only set it up differently
for different interfaces, but also enable/disable on the
fly if needed.

This patch remove variables that are initialized with a constant,

Return the constant instead of using a variable.

Since the vif might be NULL, we can't add it to the tracing

Solomon Peachy 5a6e0cf707 cw1200: Fix spurious BUG_ON() trigger when starting AP mode.
There's an underlying race condition with the unjoin_work() call that is
sometimes triggered depending on scheduling order and the phase of the
moon.  This doesn't fix the race condition, but it does remove the
ill-advised BUG_ON() call in an easily-recoverable situation.

Solomon Peachy 7258416c51 cw1200: Fix up a large pile of sparse warnings
Most of these relate to endianness problems, and are purely cosmetic.

But a couple of them were legit -- listen interval parsing and some of
the rate selection code would malfunction on BE systems.

There's still one cosmetic warning remaining, in the (admittedly) ugly
code in cw1200_spi.c.  It's there because the hardware needs 16-bit SPI
transfers, but many SPI controllers only operate 8 bits at a time.

If there's a cleaner way of handling this, I'm all ears.
