We get two timing related fields for each bss from firmware in scan
results.
1) timestamp - Actual timestamp information in probe response/beacon
2) network_tsf - firmware's TSF value at the time the beacon or probe
response was received.
Both are needed while associating by firmware.
The patch takes care of following things.
1) We should pass "timestamp" to cfg80211_inform_bss(), but currently
"network_tsf" is being provided. This error is corrected here.
2) Rename "network_tsf" to "fw_tsf"
3) Make use of u64 variable instead of an array of u8/u32 to save
parsed "timestamp" information.
4) Use timestamp provided to stack in scan results using
cfg80211_inform_bss() while associating. (bss->tsf)
5) Allocate space to save fw_tsf in "priv" of cfg80211_bss
and retrieve it while associating.

some names are wrong. The one that bothers me most
is that "HT operation" is called "HT information"

Currently if valid SSID list is provided in scan request, driver
performs specific SSID scan otherwise wildcard scan is chosen.
When wpa_supplicant provides valid SSID list followed by
zero-length SSID for wildcard scan, only specific SSID scan is
performed by driver. Actually driver is expected to do both type
of scanning in this case. The patch fixes this issue.
Also, use SSID list pointer provided by stack directly, instead
of copying SSID's to local structure.

Earlier we were using dtim period extracted from scan response
buffer provided by FW in scan operation. But it is observed that
sometimes the buffer doesn't contain dtim period tlv, and wrong
value (0) was sent to user space.
After association FW will start listening to beacon frames of
connected AP and store dtim period. Therefore we can get it from
FW in dump_station() instead of using wrong value obtained in
scanning.
Redundant code after adapting new approach for dtim period is
also removed in this patch.

cfg_workqueue was added to notify cfg80211 that scan, connect
or disconnect is done by calling respective completion handlers.
We can avoid use of this workqueue by calling those handlers
from other places.
1) Call connect, disconnect completion handlers in their callback
functions.
ex. Call cfg80211_connect_result() in mwifiex_cfg80211_connect()
2) Call scan completion handler after parsing response of last scan
command in a queue.
After removing the workqueue, variables (assoc_request etc.) and
checks used for mutual exclusion become redundant. Those are also
removed in this patch.

Cfg80211 stack allocates private area for driver use in
struct cfg80211_bss. It will be freed by stack in bss_release().
Driver don't need to worry about it.
In mwifiex driver, we use the private area just to store band
information(u8). We don't allocate memory explicitly and store
it's pointer in bss->priv. Hence we don't have any cleanup work
to do in free_priv handler. Currently we try to free the allocated
private area in free_priv handler which is not correct.
This patch removes unnecessary free_priv handler.

Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition)
is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads
enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the
threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is
same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response
of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command
response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd
command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last
command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver
command time out is seen for INIT command.
This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for
each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated
differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag
(scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.

In recent commit "mwifiex: use cfg80211 dynamic scan..."
(7c6fa2a843..) scan table handling in driver is removed to
make use of cfg80211 dynamic scan table. Now driver sends
beacon buffers found in scanning directly to stack and parse
the buffer for requested BSS only during association.
Beacon buffer doesn't contain bss band information. Driver
gets it from firmware in separate tlv (chan_band_tlv).
Currently since we don't inform stack about bss bandinfo,
there is an issue with 5GHz association.
Use "priv" field of struct cfg80211_bss to store bandinfo.
This fixes 5GHz association issue.

Sometimes association in 5GHz doesn't work. Dmesg log shows
"Can not find requested SSID xyz" error message. Currently
while preparing scan channel list for firmware Null entries
are created for disabled channels. The routine which retrieves
this list ignores channels after Null entry. Hence sometimes
driver doesn't scan the channel of requested AP and association
fails. The issue is fixed by avoiding those NULL entries.
