Currently, the libertas main thread contends with the spi driver thread
in the TX path. To improve throughput, ensure that the driver thread
has higher scheduling priority than the libertas main thread. Do this
by making the libertas spi driver thread a low priority real time
thread.
We measured an average throughput improvement of 13%.

The cause: "ps_supported" flag was never set for SD8385/8686

The mesh and radiotap interfaces need to use the same private data as
the main wifi interface. If the main wifi interface uses netdev_priv(),
but the other interfaces ->ml_priv, there's no way to figure out where
the private data actually is in the WEXT handlers and netdevice
callbacks. So make everything use ->ml_priv.
Fixes botched netdev_priv() conversion introduced by "netdevice
libertas: Fix directly reference of netdev->priv", though admittedly
libertas' use of ->priv was somewhat "special".

if_cs_poll_while_fw_download() returned the number of iterations
remaining on success, which in turn got returned as the value from

interprets non-zero return values from firmware load functions as an

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.
Different to readonly reference of netdev->priv, in this driver, netdev->priv

WPA requires that the PTK is installed immediately after the 4-way handshake
in order to properly decrypt the subsequent incoming EAPOL-GTK frame. If the
PTK is not enabled by the time the EAPOL-GTK frame arrives, the frame is
dropped and the supplicant does not receive the group key.
This will happen with fast Access Points that send the EAPOL-GTK frame before
the suplicant has successfully installed and enabled the PTK. To mitigate
this situation, this patch simplifies and accelerates the SIOCSIWENCODEEXT
execution.
