0cbe006461 rt2x00: Validate firmware in driver
The get_firmware_crc() callback function isn't flexible
enough when dealing with multiple firmware versions.
It might in some cases be possible that the firmware
file contains multiple CRC checksums.

Create the check_firmware() callback function where the driver
has complete freedom in how to validate the firmware.

a2c9b652a1 rt2x00: Add kill_tx_queue callback function

This can be useful when disabling the radio, but more importantly
will allow beaconing to be disabled when mac80211 requests this

0712612741 rt2x00: Simplify suspend/resume handling
With mac80211 handling all open interfaces during
suspend and resume we can simplify suspend/resume
within rt2x00lib.

The only thing rt2x00 needs to do is free up memory
during suspend and bring back the minimal required
components during resume.

Since the standards only define 12 legacy rates, 32 is certainly

As discussed on linux-wireless rt2x00 does not offer a true RFKILL key,

5352ff6510 rt2x00: Restrict interface between rt2x00link and drivers
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
and into rt2x00link.c.

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.

f1ca2167d8 rt2x00: Detect USB BULK in/out endpoints
Instead of hardcoding the used in/out endpoints
we should detect them by walking through all
available endpoints.

rt2800usb will gain the most out of this, because
the legacy drivers indicate that there are multiple
endpoints available.
However this code might benefit at least rt73usb as
well for the MIMO queues, and if we are really lucky
rt2500usb will benefit because for the TX and PRIO
queues.

Even if rt2500usb and rt73usb do not get better performance
after this patch, the endpoint detection still belongs to
rt2x00usb, and it shouldn't hurt to always try to detect
the available endpoints.

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.

6d64360ac5 rt2x00: Fix BUG_ON() with antenna handling
With the new configuration handling, and more specifically
splitting the configuration of the antenna from the normal
configuration steps allowed a BUG_ON() to be triggered
in the driver because the SW_DIVERSITY was send to the
driver. This fixes that by catching the value early in
rt2x00config.c and replacing it with a sensible value.

This also fixes a problem where the antenna is not being
initialized at all when the radio is enabled. Since it
no longer is part of the mac80211 configuration the
only place where rt2x00 configured it was the SW diversity
handler. Obviously this is broken for all non-diversity
hardware and breaks SW diversity due to a broken initialization.

When the radio is enabled the antenna will be configured
once as soon as the config() callback function is called.

2575c11d6e rt2x00: Only configure hardware when radio is enabled
Some hardware configuration registers such as antenna and channel configuration
can only be written when the radio is enabled. Previously, we didn't consider
this, so some configuration items could be set inconsistently after reenabling
the radio. This patch changes the config() handler to only reprogram the
hardware when the radio is enabled. Configuration changes that are made while
the radio is off are postponed until the radio is switched back on. We also
leave the radio turned off during initialization and only enable it when
requested by mac80211. This allows us to get rid of the DIRTY_CONFIG flag,
because the device is now guaranteed to be completely initialized when brought
up by mac80211.

0262ab0df6 rt2x00: Fix race conditions in flag handling
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.
rt2x00queue_write_tx_frame: Error - Arrived at non-free entry in the non-full queue 0.

74c0ee9b59 rt2x00: Force full register config after start()
rt2x00 will only perform configuration changes from
mac80211 when the configuration option has changed.
This means it keeps track of the current active configuration
and will check these values when the config() callback function
is used.

However this causes breakage when the interface has been
brought down and up again, since all stored active values
aren't reset while the registers might have.
This is for example the case with rt61pci antenna registers which
will jump to invalid values when the interface has been started.

To make sure a full configuration takes place after the start()
callback function, a new flag is added which will be checked
during config() and skips the "what's changed" phase.

f2fdbc4847 rt2x00: Fix EIFS timing value
Olivier reported a difference between the EIFS
values used in the legacy driver and the one in
the rt2x00 drivers.

In rt2x00 the value was
	( SIFS + (8 * (IEEE80211_HEADER + ACK_SIZE)) )
which comes down to 314us while the legacy driver uses the value 364us

This was caused because EIFS is: SIFS + DIFS + AckTime
This patch will fix this by adding the DIFS by the above value,
and creating a SHORT_EIFS define which uses the SHORT_DIFS.

f591fa5dbb mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers
This patch makes mac80211 assign proper sequence numbers to
QoS-data frames. It also removes the old sequence number code
because we noticed that only the driver or hardware can assign
sequence numbers to non-QoS-data and especially management
frames in a race-free manner because beacons aren't passed
through mac80211's TX path.

This patch also adds temporary code to the rt2x00 drivers to
not break them completely, that code will have to be reworked
for proper sequence numbers on beacons.

It also moves sequence number assignment down in the TX path
so no sequence numbers are assigned to frames that are dropped.

Remove the rt2x00 singlethreaded workqueue and move
the link tuner and packet filter scheduled work to
the ieee80211_hw->workqueue again.
The only exception is the interface scheduled work
handler which uses the mac80211 interface iterator
under the RTNL lock. This work needs to be handled
on the kernel workqueue to prevent lockdep issues.

50db7875d9 rt2x00: Remove input_polldev requirements for rfkill
With the new rfkill interface there is no longer a need
for the input_polldev. Create a delayed_work structure
which we can put on the mac80211 workqueue and poll the
hardware every 1000ms.

v2: Decrease poll frequency from 100ms to 1000ms

980dfcb932 rt2x00: Fix lock dependency errror
This fixes a circular locking dependency in the workqueue handling.
The interface work task uses the mac80211 function
ieee80211_iterate_active_interfaces() which grabs the RTNL lock.

However when the interface is brough down, this happens under the RTNL
lock as well, this causes problems because mac80211 will flush the workqueue
during the ifdown event. This causes mac80211 to wait until the driver has
completed all work which can't finish because it is waiting on the RTNL lock.

This is fixed by moving rt2x00 workqueue tasks on a different workqueue,
this workqueue can be flushed when the ieee80211_hw structure is removed
by the driver (when the driver is unloaded) which does not happen under the
RTNL lock.
