Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition)
is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads
enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the
threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is
same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response
of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command
response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd
command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last
command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver
command time out is seen for INIT command.
This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for
each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated
differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag
(scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.

Making adding and deleting virtual interfaces dynamic. Adding
handlers for creating and deleting virtual interface with
given name and dev respectively.
Also, creating default interface of type station on insmod of
the driver.

In XMIT path, the skb that we get from the kernel itself is not
aligned with 4-byte boundary on some embedded platforms.
Had it not been the presence of tx_pkt_offset field in txpd, 4 byte
memory alignment was not possible without memmove of entire skb.
And that would have increased MIPS instead of reducing.
With this patch few memory cycles can be saved while fetching
interface header and txpd structure because of 4 bytes memory
alignment.

1) removal of unnecessary mwifiex_device structure
2) avoid passing adapter pointer to mwifiex_init_sw()
3) remove local variable drv_mode_info in mwifiex_add_card()
4) type change in mwifiex_bss_attr to match mwifiex_private
5) removal of more wordy comments

1) remove mwifiex_alloc_fill_wait_queue() and
mwifiex_request_ioctl()
2) avoid dynamic allocation of wait queue
3) remove unnecessary mwifiex_error_code macros that
were used mainly by the wait queue status code
4) remove some abstraction functions
5) split mwifiex_prepare_cmd() to mwifiex_send_cmd_async()
and mwifiex_send_sync() to handle asynchronous and
synchronous commands respectively

This driver adds WiFi support for Marvell 802.11n based chipsets
with SDIO interface. Currently only SD8787 is supported. More
chipsets will be supported later.
