b50563a685 p54: fix wmm queue settings
This patch fixes a regression (introduced by
"p54: more definitions form lmac_longbow.h and pda.h")

It turned out that the "ret" variable wasn't initialized and
this caused the following warnings/errors to appear:

wmaster1: failed to set TX queue parameters for queue 2
wmaster1: failed to set TX queue parameters for queue 3
wmaster1: failed to set TX queue parameters for queue 1
wmaster1: failed to set TX queue parameters for queue 0

99405f930f ath9k: Use proper TX channel width for setting channels
The TX channel width of the BSS can be obtained only after association.
In all cases, default to HT20 if HT is enabled, and set
chan width to HT40 only if the BSS supports it.

bf8c1ac6d8 nl80211: Change max TX power to be in mBm instead of dBm
In order to be consistent with NL80211_ATTR_POWER_RULE_MAX_EIRP,
change NL80211_FREQUENCY_ATTR_MAX_TX_POWER to use mBm and U32 instead
of dBm and U8. This is a userspace interface change, but the previous
version had not yet been pushed upstream and there are no userspace
programs using this yet, so there is justification to get this change in
as long as it goes in before the previous version gets out.

39d1ffee57 orinoco: Provide option to avoid unnecessary fw caching
Make firmware caching on startup optional, and make it default.

When the option is not selected and PM_SLEEP is configured, then
cache firmware in the suspend pm_notifier. This configuration saves
about 64k RAM in normal use, but can lead to a situation where the
driver is configured to use a different firmware.

cb71d9bafb ath9k: Handle -ENOMEM on RX gracefully
We would get an oops on RX on -ENOMEM by passing
NULL to the hardware on ath_rx_buf_link(). The oops
would look something like this:

ath_rx_tasklet+0x515/0x53b
ath9k_tasklet+0x48
tasklet_action
__do_softirq
irq_exit
do_IRQ

RIP: ath_rx_buf_link+0x3a

We correct this by handling the requeue directly on
the ath_rx_tasklet() and trying to allocate an skb
*prior* to sending up the last hardware processed
skb. If we run out of memory this gauranteees we have
skbs to work with while it simply drops new received
frames.

24689c8590 rfkill: always call get_state() hook on resume
We "optimize" away the get_state() hook call on rfkill_toggle_radio
when doing a forced state change.  This means the resume path is not
calling get_state() as it should.

Call it manually on the resume handler, as we don't want to mess with
the EPO path by removing the optimization.  This has the added benefit
of making it explicit that rfkill->state could have been modified
before we hit the rfkill_toggle_radio() call in the class resume
handler.

f80b5e99c7 rfkill: preserve state across suspend
The rfkill class API requires that the driver connected to a class
call rfkill_force_state() on resume to update the real state of the
rfkill controller, OR that it provides a get_state() hook.

This means there is potentially a hidden call in the resume code flow
that changes rfkill->state (i.e. rfkill_force_state()), so the
previous state of the transmitter was being lost.

The simplest and most future-proof way to fix this is to explicitly
store the pre-sleep state on the rfkill structure, and restore from
that on resume.

1548c86ab1 rtl8187: Fix transmission count sent to mac80211
In the commit entitled "mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control
API", the meaning of the packet transmit count was changed from the
number of retries to the total number.  In driver rtl8187, this change
was missed.

1dc5a84166 mac80211: Fix pid rate-setting algorithm to allow rate changes
In commit 9ea2c74 named "mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API",
the meaning of status.rates[i].count was changed from number of retries
to total number of tries. As a result, the pid rate-setting algorithm fails
because every packet appears to have needed a retransmit.

When we switch off the LEDS during initialization
we kill rt73usb from proper functioning. The immediate
result after the first LED command are MCU failures

8eb41c9368 mac80211: make Minstrel the default rate control algorithm
This makes minstrel the default rate control algorithm
for mac80211. For more information see:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/mac80211/RateControl/minstrel

If someone can come up with a better algorithm they get a prize
(undisclosed).

4ada424db1 mac80211: don't assume driver has been attached on registration
mac80211's ieee80211_register_hw() is often called within the
probe path so it cannot assume the device's driver structure
has been attached yet so to create a workqueue instead of
using driver->name use the wiphy's phy%d name. The name doesn't
really matter anyway.

This should fix sporadic oopses found when we race to beat the
driver pointer setting. Not even sure how this was working properly.
