a293ee990d b43legacy: reinit on too many PHY TX errors
Restart the hardware on too many PHY TX errors. A thousand PHY TX errors
per 15 seconds means we won't be able to recover for sure.

5be3bda898 b43legacy: include full 64-bit timestamp in monitor mode
When monitor mode is enabled, this will make b43legacy read out
the full 64-bit MAC time from the chip for each received packet.

This patch has been ported from b43.

db9683fb19 b43legacy: rewrite and fix rfkill initialization
The rfkill subsystem doesn't like code like that
rfkill_allocate();
rfkill_register();
rfkill_unregister();
rfkill_register(); /* <- This will crash */

This sequence happens with
modprobe b43
ifconfig wlanX up
ifconfig wlanX down
ifconfig wlanX up

Fix this by always re-allocating the rfkill stuff before register.

440cb58a7a b43legacy: fix shared IRQ race condition
Fix an IRQ race condition in b43legacy. If we call
b43legacy_wireless_core_stop(), it will set the status of the device to
INITIALIZED and the IRQ handler won't care any longer about IRQs, thus the
kernel will disable the IRQ if it's shared (unless we boot it with the
'irqpoll' option). So we must disable IRQs before changing the device
status.

4150c57212 [PATCH] mac80211: revamp interface and filter configuration
Drivers are currently supposed to keep track of monitor
interfaces if they allow so-called "hard" monitor, and
they are also supposed to keep track of multicast etc.

This patch changes that, replaces the set_multicast_list()
callback with a new configure_filter() callback that takes
filter flags (FIF_*) instead of interface flags (IFF_*).
For a driver, this means it should open the filter as much
as necessary to get all frames requested by the filter flags.
Accordingly, the filter flags are named "positively", e.g.
FIF_ALLMULTI.

Multicast filtering is a bit special in that drivers that
have no multicast address filters need to allow multicast
frames through when either the FIF_ALLMULTI flag is set or
when the mc_count value is positive.

At the same time, drivers are no longer notified about
monitor interfaces at all, this means they now need to
implement the start() and stop() callbacks and the new
change_filter_flags() callback. Also, the start()/stop()
ordering changed, start() is now called *before* any
add_interface() as it really should be, and stop() after
any remove_interface().

The patch also changes the behaviour of setting the bssid
to multicast for scanning when IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING
is set; the IEEE80211_HW_NO_PROBE_FILTERING flag is removed
and the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC introduced.
This is a lot more efficient for hardware like b43 that
supports it and other hardware can still set the BSSID
to all-ones.

(rtl8187, adm8211, and p54), Larry Finger (b43legacy), and

1065de1562 [B43LEGACY]: Change the hardware radio enable logic and cleanup code
This change cleans up the radio-related messages in several ways.

(1) The state of the rfkill switch is assumed to be on, rather than
    tested. Now, any user without such a switch will not see any
    messages. For devices with such a switch, a message will be
    logged only if the initial state is off, or if the switch is toggled.
(2) The routine for testing the switch state is no longer inline.
(3) The LED handling routine is simplified.
(4) The "Radio turned off" message that has confused some users has been
    changed to "Radio initialized".

This patch is patterned after a similar change to b43 by Michael Buesch.
