The i2400m, when conected, will negotiate with the WiMAX basestation
to put the link in IDLE mode when it is not being used. Upon RX/TX
traffic, the link has to be restablished and that might require some
crypto handshakes and maybe a DHCP renew.
This process might take up to 20 (!) seconds and in some cases we were
seeing network watchdog warnings that weren't needed.
So the network watchdog timeout is updated to be slightly above that
20s threshold. As well, the driver itself will double check if the
device is stuck in IDLE mode -- if that happens, the device will be
reset (in this case the queue is also woken up to remove bogus--once
the device is reset--warnings).

Currently the i2400m driver was resetting by just calling
i2400m->bus_reset(). However, this was missing stopping the TX queue
and downing the carrier. This was causing, for the corner case of the
driver reseting a device that refuses to go out of idle mode, that a
few packets would be queued and more than one reset would go through,
making the recovery a wee bit messy.
To avoid introducing the same cleanup in all the bus-specific driver,
introduced a i2400m_reset() function that takes care of house cleaning
and then calling the bus-level reset implementation.
The bulk of the changes in all files are just to rename the call from
i2400m->bus_reset() to i2400m_reset().

tcpdump and friends were not being able to decode packets sent via
WiMAX; they had a zero ethernet type, even when the stack was properly
sending them to the device with the right type.
It happens that the driver was overwriting the (fake) ethernet header
for creating the hardware header and that was bitting the cloning used
by tcpdump (et al) to look into the packets.
Use pkskb_expand_head() [method copied from the e1000 driver] to fix.
Thanks to Herbert Xu and Andi Kleen for helping to diagnose and
pointing to the right fix.

Currently the i2400m driver was starting in a weird way: registering a
network device, setting the device up and then registering a WiMAX
device.
This is an historic artifact, and was causing issues, a some early
reports the device sends were getting lost by issue of the wimax_dev
not being registered.
Fix said situation by doing the wimax device registration in
i2400m_setup() after network device registration and before starting
thed device.
As well, removed spurious setting of the state to UNINITIALIZED;
i2400m.dev_start() does that already.

When the i2400m device needs to wake up an idle WiMAX connection, it
schedules a workqueue job to do it.
Currently, only when the network stack called the _stop() method this
work struct was being cancelled. This has to be done every time the
device is stopped.
So add a call in i2400m_dev_stop() to take care of such cleanup, which
is now wrapped in i2400m_net_wake_stop().

Mostly just simple conversions:
* ray_cs had bogus return of NET_TX_LOCKED but driver
was not using NETIF_F_LLTX
* hostap and ipw2x00 had some code that returned value
from a called function that also had to change to return netdev_tx_t

The WiMAX i2400m driver needs to generate a fake source MAC address to
fake an ethernet header (for destination, the card's MAC is
used). This is the source of the packet, which is the basestation it
came from. The basestation's mac address is not usable for this, as it
uses its own namespace and it is not always available.
Currently the fake source MAC address was being set to all zeros,
which was causing trouble with bridging.
Use random_ether_addr() to generate a proper one that creates no
trouble.

Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).
However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.
- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.
- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().
- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
stack.
- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

Implementation of the glue to the network stack so the WiMAX device
shows up as an Ethernet device.
Initially we shot for implementing a Pure IP device -- however, the
world seems to turn around Ethernet devices. Main issues were with the
ISC DHCP client and servers (as they don't understand types other than
Ethernet and Token Ring).
We proceeded to register with IANA the PureIP hw type, so that DHCP
requests could declare such. We also created patches to the main ISC
DHCP versions to support it. However, until all that permeates into
deployments, there is going to be a long time.
So we moved back to wrap Ethernet frames around the PureIP device. At
the time being this has overhead; we need to reallocate with space for
an Ethernet header. The reason is the device-to-host protocol
coalesces many network packets into a single message, so we can't
introduce Ethernet headers without overwriting valid data from other
packets.
Coming-soon versions of the firmware have this issue solved.
