Instead of passing a channel pointer and channel type
to all functions and driver methods, pass a new channel
definition struct. Right now, this struct contains just
the control channel and channel type, but for VHT this
will change.
Also, add a small inline cfg80211_get_chandef_type() so
that drivers don't need to use the _type field of the
new structure all the time, which will change.

As mwifiex (and mac80211 in the software case) are the
only drivers actually implementing remain-on-channel
with channel type, userspace can't be relying on it.
This is the case, as it's used only for P2P operations
right now.
Rather than adding a flag to tell userspace whether or
not it can actually rely on it, simplify all the code
by removing the ability to use different channel types.
Leave only the validation of the attribute, so that if
we extend it again later (with the needed capability
flag), it can't break userspace sending invalid data.

I was seeing sporadic failures (wedgeups), and the majority of those
failures I saw printed the printouts in mwifiex_cmd_timeout_func with
cmd = 0xe5 which is CMD_802_11_HS_CFG_ENH. When this happens, two
minutes later I get notified that the rtcwake thread is blocked, like
this:
INFO: task rtcwake:3495 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
To get the hung thread unblocked we wake up the cmd wait queue and

This patch adds support for multiple TX queues inside mwifiex
driver. Four different queues according to WMM access categories
are defined for each virtual interface. When a packet is
received from netdev for transmission, tx pending count for
particular queue is incremented and if tx pending count has
reached upper water-mark, this queue is stopped instead of
stopping all queues. Similarly when a packet is successfully
transmitted from device, tx pending count is decremented per
queue and if pending count falls below lower water-mark, queue
operations are again resumed. This ensures that not all
tranmission is blocked if traffic with particular TOS value
suddenly increases.
Also wake all queues after association/IBSS_join/uAP_BSS_start
to enable traffic on all queues.

The TX power setting is currently per wiphy (hardware
device) but with multi-channel capabilities that doesn't
make much sense any more.
Allow drivers (and mac80211) to advertise support for
per-interface TX power configuration. When the TX power
is configured for the wiphy, the wdev will be NULL and
the driver can still handle that, but when a wdev is
given the TX power can be set only for that wdev now.

The include file linux/ieee80211.h contains three definitions for

enum ieee80211_eid {
:
WLAN_EID_WPA = 221,
WLAN_EID_GENERIC = 221,
WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC = 221,
:

The standard refers to this as "vendor specific" element so the
other two definitions are better not used. This patch changes the
wireless drivers to use one definition, ie. WLAN_EID_VENDOR_SPECIFIC.

The driver will send some commands to firmware during the
initialization. Currently these commands are sent asynchronously,
which means that we firstly insert all of them to a pre-allocated
command queue, and then start to process them one by one. The
command queue will soon be exhausted if we keep adding new
initialization commands.
This issue can be resolved by sending initialization commands
synchronously because each command is consumed and the buffer is
recycled before queuing next command.
