The BCM94311MCG rev 02 chip has an 802.11 core with revision 13 and
has not been supported until now. The changes include the following:
(1) Add the 802.11 rev 13 device to the ssb_device_id table to load b43.
(2) Add PHY revision 9 to the supported list.
(3) Change the 2-bit routing code for address extensions to 0b10 rather
than the 0b01 used for the 32-bit case.
(4) Remove some magic numbers in the DMA setup.
The DMA implementation for this chip supports full 64-bit addressing with
one exception. Whenever the Descriptor Ring Buffer is in high memory, a
fatal DMA error occurs. This problem was not present in 2.6.24-rc2 due
to code to "Bias the placement of kernel pages at lower PFNs". When
commit 44048d70 reverted that code, the DMA error appeared. As a "fix",
use the GFP_DMA flag when allocating the buffer for 64-bit DMA. At present,
this problem is thought to arise from a hardware error.
This patch has been tested on my system and by Cédric Caumont

This patch moves re-works the implementation of event subscription
via debugfs. For this:
* it tells cmd.c and cmdresp.c about CMD_802_11_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT
* removes lots of low-level cmd stuff from debugfs.c
* create unified functions to read/write snr, rssi, bcnmiss and
failcount
* introduces #define's for subscription event bitmask values
* add a function to search for a specific element in an IE
(a.k.a. TLV)
* add a function to find out the size of the TLV. This is needed
because lbs_prepare_and_send_command() has an argument for a
data buffer, but not for it's lengths and TLVs can be, by
definition, vary in size.
* fix a bug where it was not possible to disable an event

pasemi_mac: Improve RX interrupt mitigation
Currently the receive side interrupts will go off on the reception of
a packet, NAPI will poll the ring and keep polling as long as there's
a decent amount of packets to receive.
This is less than optimal, especially for LRO where it's better if we
have a more substantial amount of packets to process at once, to get
the real LRO benefits.
So, set the count threshold to a higher value and use the timeout feature
that will give us an interrupt even if not enough packets have come in
to set off the count threshold.
FIXME: It'd be real nice to have ethtool support for users to tune this
at runtime.

pasemi_mac: Fix TX cleaning
This is a bit awkward. We don't have a timer-delayed interrupt on TX
complete, but we have a count threshold. So set that reasonably high
(32 packets), and schedule the NAPI poll when it goes off. Also bump a
regular timer that will take care of rotting packets for the last 1..31
ones in case we don't trigger a TX interrupt (and there's no RX activity
that would otherwise trigger the poll).
The longer-term fix is to separate TX from RX NAPI and do two separate
poll loops.
