This patch addresses a kernel bugzilla report and two recent mail threads.
The kernel bugzilla report is https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42632,
which reports a udev timeout on boot.
The first mail thread, which was on LKML (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/
linux/kernel/1112.3/00965.html) was for a WARNING that occurs after a
suspend/resume cycle for rtl8192cu.
The scond mail thread (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=132655490826766&w=2)
concerned changes in udev that break drivers that delay while firmware is loaded
on modprobe.
This patch converts all rtlwifi-based drivers to use the asynchronous firmware
loading mechanism. Drivers rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu and rtl8192de share a common
callback routine. Driver rtl8192se needs different handling of the firmware,
thus it has its own code.

Whenever the PAN (P2P) context is active, it
has timers in the uCode that prevent sleep,
so scanning can't be out of channel for more
than the beacon interval programmed into the
device.
Before this patch, a full scan including any
passive channels when P2P was active would
stall forever because it wouldn't find time
to execute the passive requests (for default
beacon intervals of 100 TU.)

Fix multiple bugs in event tracing:
1) If you enable uCode tracing with the device down,
it will still attempt to access the device and
continuously log "MAC is in deep sleep!" errors.
Fix this by only starting logging when the device
is actually alive.
2) Now you can set the flag when the device is down,
but logging doesn't happen when you bring it up.
To fix that, start logging when the device comes
alive. This means we don't log before -- we could
do that but I don't need it right now.
3) For some reason we read the error instead of the
event log -- use the right pointer.
4) Optimise SRAM reading of event log header.
5) Fix reading write pointer == capacity, which can
happen due to racy SRAM access
6) Most importantly: fix an error where we would try
to read WAY too many events (like 2^32-300) when
we read the wrap counter before it is updated by
the uCode -- this does happen in practice and will
cause the driver to hang the machine.
7) Finally, change the timer to 10ms instead of 100ms
as 100ms is too slow to capture all data with a
normal event log and with 100ms the log will wrap
multiple times before we have a chance to read it.

If the driver blocked this specific STA with the help of
ieee80211_sta_block_awake we won't clear WLAN_STA_PS_STA later but
still decrement num_sta_ps. Hence, the next data frame from this
STA will trigger ap_sta_ps_end again and also decrement num_sta_ps
again leading to an incorrect num_sta_ps counter.
This can result in problems with powersaving clients not waking up
from PS because the TIM calculation might be skipped due to the
incorrect num_sta_ps counter.

When WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER is set by ieee80211_sta_block_awake the
num_sta_ps counter is not incremented. Hence, we shouldn't decrement
it in __sta_info_destroy if only WLAN_STA_PS_DRIVER is set. This
could result in an incorrect num_sta_ps counter leading to strange side
effects with associated powersaving clients.
Fix this by only decrementing num_sta_ps when WLAN_STA_PS_STA was set
before.

In the future, when we start notifying drivers,
state transitions could potentially fail. To make
it easier to distinguish between programming bugs
and driver failures:
* rename sta_info_move_state() to
sta_info_pre_move_state() which can only be
called before the station is inserted (and
check this with a new station flag).
* rename sta_info_move_state_checked() to just
plain sta_info_move_state(), as it will be
the regular function that can fail for more
than just one reason (bad transition or an
error from the driver)
This makes the programming model easier -- one of
the functions can only be called before insertion
and can't fail, the other can fail.

Currently, when we are on an IBSS network with no active station,
we would scan for other BSSID, even if fixed_bssid is on, due to
a bug in ibss.c, where fixed_channel would be checked instead of
fixed_bssid. This would trigger useless scans where scan results
would not be used anyway.
This patch also reverts commit 39d02a7d90,
which assumed that the ifibss->fixed_channel check was legitimate
to disable single-channel scans. IBSS single-channel scan should
now be fixed.

The NFC core layer should not set the target_idx.
Instead, the driver layer (e.g. NCI, PN533) should set the
target_idx, so that it will be able to identify the target
when its I/F (e.g. activate_target) is called.
This is required in order to support multiple targets.
