A soft lockup was observed on ARM multicore platform while UDP
RX iperf was running on station.
Reason for this is delay_main_task was not taken into consideration while
jumping to process_start. Now if delay_main_task is true, we would exit
mwifiex_main_process instead of going to process_start again.
This ensure other process is scheduled on this CPU and soft lockup is avoided.

On AR934x rev 3, settin the ad-hoc flag completely messes up hardware
state - beacons get stuck, almost no packets make it out, hardware is
constantly reset.
When leaving out that flag and setting up the hw like in AP mode, TSF
timers won't be automatically synced, but at least the rest works.
AR934x rev 2 and older are not affected by this bug

This driver was entered into staging a few cycles ago because there was
not time to integrate the Realtek version into the support routines in
the kernel. Now that there is an effort to converg the code base from Linux
and the Realtek repo, it is time to move this driver. In addition, all the
updates included in the 06/28/2014 version of the Realtek drivers are
included here.
With this change, it will be necessary to delete the staging driver. That
will be handled in a separate patch. As it impacts the staging tree, such a
patch is sent to a different destination.

If stat data exceeds wmi-htc buffer limits
firmware splits it into many wmi stats update
events which are delivered in a ping-pong fashion
triggered by wmi stats request command.
Since there's only an implicit start-of-data and
no end-of-data indications the driver has to
perform some trickery to get complete stat data.

There is no reason why frames marked with
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN have to be sent using
the UAPSD queue. Since mac80211 makes sure that
RoC is done before pushing an offchannel frame

for transmission.

Since we use IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL now, the
CAB/Offchannel queues are registered as the last
two queues. There is no need to check and reassign
the queues in the TX start()/done() routines.
CAB frames will not reach the tx() callback since
we set IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING and
pull the buffered frames during beacon transmission.
We also don't have a special HW queue for handling
off-channel frames.

This patch makes the driver to report signal strength information
to mac80211 for rtl8187se boards.
It differs from my previous RFT patch:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=140155388332534&w=2
because:
- I have now a working rtl8187se card, so I could serve my RFT by myself. :)
- CCK measurement code has changed a bit, but it does basically the same things.
- OFDM measurement method is changed because the older method reported incorrect
measures, at least for signals stronger than -40dBm).
CCK measurement seems quite good. OFDM seems less accurate, but this is the
same as the "reference" staging driver dose. I wanted not to change things just
to make measures of _one_ (my) card a bit more close to what _I_ (in my setup)
expected..
IMHO results are still good enough to justify reporting signal in dBm rather than in
"unspecified" units, so this is what this patch actually does.
Results of my tests with a working rtl8187se card connected with coaxes and
various RF attenuators to my AP are:
Input (approx) | CCK meas | OFDM meas
--------------------------------------
-30dBm | -32dBm | -31dBm
-40dBm | -40dBm | -41dBm
-50dBm | -50dBm | -55dBm
-60dBm | -59dBm | -63dBm
-70dBm | -69dBm | -73dBm
-80dBm | -79dBm | -83dBm
Also some real-field tests has been done (no coax, packets in the air) for the CCK
measure method, and they resulted in reasonable values.

When multiple channel contexts are enabled, a p2p interface
that is assigned to a context will have an address that
is different from the device mac address, which is used
by wpa_s as the p2p device ID.
Certain frames like provision requests use the device address
and these get dropped since ath9k_calculate_summary_state()
iterates over only the active interfaces in a context and the
device address is not used.
Fix this by adding the device mac address to the bssid mask.

Using the BSS information stored in mac80211 directly
is racy in certain conditions. For example, in a MCC
setup, if the scheduler is switching channels when
a local deauth is issued, calculation of the opmode/bssid
etc. is incorrect. To avoid this, store the bss params
in the driver and use it.

pull request: wireless-next 2014-09-22
Please pull this batch of updates intended for the 3.18 stream...
For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says:
"This time, I have some rate minstrel improvements, support for a very
small feature from CCX that Steinar reverse-engineered, dynamic ACK
timeout support, a number of changes for TDLS, early support for radio
resource measurement and many fixes. Also, I'm changing a number of
places to clear key memory when it's freed and Intel claims copyright
for code they developed."
For the bluetooth bits, Johan says:
"Here are some more patches intended for 3.18. Most of them are cleanups
or fixes for SMP. The only exception is a fix for BR/EDR L2CAP fixed
channels which should now work better together with the L2CAP
information request procedure."
For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says:
"I fix here dvm which was broken by my last pull request. Arik
continues to work on TDLS and Luca solved a few issues in CT-Kill. Eyal
keeps digging into rate scaling code, more to come soon. Besides this,
nothing really special here."
Beyond that, there are the usual big batches of updates to ath9k, b43,
mwifiex, and wil6210 as well as a handful of other bits here and there.
Also, rtlwifi gets some btcoexist attention from Larry.
Please let me know if there are problems!

AHB bus support was added in v2.6.38, through commit a0b907ee2a
("ath5k: Add AHB bus support."). That code can only be build if the
Kconfig symbol ATHEROS_AR231X is set. But that symbol has never been
added to the tree. So AHB bus support has always been dead code.
Let's remove all code that depends on ATHEROS_AR231X. If that symbol
ever gets added to the tree the AHB bus support can be re-added too.
