This patch adds the feature to support the test mode operation through
the generic netlink channel NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE between intel
wireless device iwlwifi and the user space application svtool.
The main purpose is to create a transportation layer between the iwlwifi
device and the user space application so that the interaction between the
user space application svtool and the iwlwifi device in the kernel space is
in a way of generic netlink messaging.
The detail specific functions are:
1. The function iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to digest the svtool test command
from the user space application. The svtool test commands are categorized to
three types : commands to be processed by the device ucode, commands to access
the registers, and commands to be processed at the driver level(such as reload
the ucode). iwl_testmode_cmd() dispatches the commands the corresponding handlers
and reply to user space regarding the command execution status. Extra data is
returned to the user space application if there's any.
2. The function iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is added to multicast all the spontaneous
messages from the iwlwifi device to the user space. Regardless the message types,
whenever there is a valid spontaneous message received by the iwlwifi ISR,
iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is invoked to multicast the message content to user
space. The message content is not attacked and the message parsing is left to
the user space application.
Implementation guidelines:
1. The generic netlink messaging for iwliwif test mode is through NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE
channel, therefore, the codes need to follow the regulations set by cfg80211.ko
to get the actual device instance ieee80211_ops via cfg80211.ko, so that the iwlwifi
device is indicated with ieee80211_ops and can be actually accessed.
Therefore, a callback iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to the structure
iwlagn_hw_ops in iwl-agn.c.
2. It intends to utilize those low level device access APIs from iwlwifi device driver
(ie. iwlagn.ko) rather than creating it's own set of device access functions.
For example, iwl_send_cmd(), iwl_read32(), iwl_write8(), and iwl_write32() are reused.
3. The main functions are maintained in new files instead of spreading all over the
existing iwlwifi driver files.
The new files added are :
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sv-open.c
- to handle the user space test mode application command
and reply the respective command status to the user space application.
- to multicast the spontaneous messages from device to user space.
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-testmode.h
- the commonly referenced definitions for the TLVs used in
the generic netlink messages

This generates a massive reduction in module size:
with debug:
text data bss dec hex filename
670300 13136 420 683856 a6f50 iwlagn.ko (before)
388347 13136 408 401891 621e3 iwlagn.ko (after)
without debug:
text data bss dec hex filename
528575 13072 420 542067 84573 iwlagn.ko (before)
294192 13072 408 307672 4b1d8 iwlagn.ko (after)
This also removes all the IO debug functionality since
it can easily be replaced by tracing, and makes the
code unnecessarily complex.
I haven't done any CPU utilisation measurements, but
given that the hotpaths don't use much IO it is not
likely to have a negative impact; in fact, the size
reduction will reduce cache pressure which possibly
improves performance.
Finally, an unused function or two were removed.

In order to simplify the flow, and make new
enhancements easier, separate out the RXON
processing for modern AGN (5000 and newer)
from RXON processing for the older 3945 and
4965 devices. Avoid changing these old ones
to avoid regressions and move their code to
a new file (iwl-legacy.c). 4965 gets the
commit_rxon that used to be common for all
AGN devices, but with removed PAN support.
The new RXON processing is more central and
does more work in committing, so that it is
easier to follow.
To make it more evident what is split out
for legacy, split the necessary operations
for that into a new struct iwl_legacy_ops.
Those parts that still exist in the new AGN
code don't need to be parametrized.

In iwlagn the support for spectrum measurement command has been
disabled since v2.6.29 without any requests for it. In addition to this
when this command is indeed enabled it has been found to trigger firmware
SYSASSERT on at least 4965 and 5100 hardware (see
http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1952 ). Since then
this code has been bitrotting and cannot just be enabled without porting.
Remove support for spectrum measurement command from iwlagn. It can be
added back if there is a future need and the firmware problem it triggers
has been fixed. Support for the spectrim measurement notification remains
as it has been enabled all the time.
In addition to this remove the 3945 spectrum measurement command Kconfig
option and make this command always supported. The code added by this
enabling is minimal and only run when user triggers a spectrum measurement
request via sysfs.

The iwlwifi drivers have LED blinking requirements that
mac80211 cannot fulfill due to the use of just a single
LED instead of different ones for TX, RX, radio etc.
Instead, the single LED blinks according to transfers
and is solid on the rest of the time. As such, having
LED class devices registered that mac80211 triggers are
connected to is pointless as we don't use the triggers
anyway.
Remove all the useless code and add hooks into the
driver itself. At the same time, make the LED code
abstracted so the core code that determines blink rate
etc. can be shared between 3945 and agn in iwlcore.
At the same time, the fact that we removed the use of
the mac80211 LED triggers means we can also remove the
IWLWIFI_LEDS Kconfig symbol since the LED support is
now self-contained.

Fixes:
- iwlwifi is an optional driver and should thus not default to 'y'.
- 3945 now depends on IWLCORE.
Rework:
- There is not a case when IWLCORE should not be selected. At the same time
the driver does not use IWLWIFI or IWLCORE. We can just merge the usage of
these two. With IWLWIFI being the driver name we proceed to use just it and
replace instances of IWLCORE with it. The module name does not change
and is still iwlcore.
- Both IWLAGN and IWL3945 are selecting FW_LOADER, we can thus just move
this up to one select when IWLWIFI is selected.
- IWL5000 now supports Intel Wireless Wifi 100, 6000, and 6050 series.
- Now that 3945 depends on IWLWIFI we can also indicate its dependency on
MAC80211_LEDS and LEDS_CLASS at this level.
- IWLAGN_LEDS is not used by driver - remove it.
- IWLAGN_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT actually depends on IWLWIFI as it forms part
of iwlcore module. Move this config up in Kconfig to reflect that and also
change name to IWLWIFI_SPECTRUM_MEASUREMENT.
- CONFIG_IWLWIFI_RFKILL is used by iwlagn as well as iwl3945, add text to
description that indicates this.
- CONFIG_IWL3945_RFKILL does not exist - remove usage from driver.
- Add "iwlagn" to end of description of IWLAGN to help people understand
what iwlagn means in rest of Kconfig text.
- Add "iwl3945" to end of description of IWL3945 to help people understand
what iwlagn means in rest of Kconfig text.
- Change IWLWIFI_DEBUGFS description to indicate that only iwlagn supports
it (for now).
