d9482e2b51 wl12xx: fix SG BT load value to reflect its new meaning
The Soft Gemini BT load ratio value has changed its meaning with FW
version 6.1.0.0.310.  It now means the passive scan compensation
percentage during A2DP EDR.  Instead of 50, we need to use 200.

Fix the SG configuration accordingly.

18b92ffaf3 wl12xx: set the skbuff priority for dummy packets
The firmware requires dummy packets to be sent using TID 7
(WL1271_TID_MGMT).  Instead of hardcoding it in the tx_fill_hdr()
function, set it when creating the packet itself.

This requires Eliad's fix to set the actual TID in the TX descriptor.

db674d249c wl12xx: set the actual tid instead of the ac
When passing a tx frame, the driver incorrectly set desc->tid
with the ac instead of the actual tid.

It has some serious implications when using 802.11n + QoS,
as the fw starts a BlockAck with the wrong tid (which finally
cause beacon loss and disconnection / some fw crash)

Fix it by using the actual tid stored in skb->priority.

1d732e8cf3 wl12xx: Clamp byte mode transfers for 128x chips
On wl128x based devices, when TX packets are aggregated, each packet
size must be aligned to the SDIO block size, and sent using block mode
transfers.

The block size is set to 256 bytes, which is less than the maximum
possible byte transfer. Thus, if two small packets (< 256 bytes) are
aggregated, the aggregation buffer size would be 512, and will be sent
using byte mode transfers. This can have undesired side effects.

Fix this by setting the MMC_QUIRK_BLKSZ_FOR_BYTE_MODE mmc card quirk.
For 127x chips this has no effect, as the block size is set to 512
bytes.

0af0467f09 wl12xx: Fix potential incorrect band in rx-status
The rx-status passed to mac80211 along with each received frame contains the
band on which the frame was received. Under certain circumstances, this band
information may be incorrect, causing in worst case a WARNING from mac80211,
and causes the received frame to be dropped.

This scenario mainly occurs when performing connected-mode scans, when the
received scan results are from the other band than the one currently
associated to.

whether the length of the buffer passed was correct before copying it

2da69b890f wl12xx: Switch to level trigger interrupts
The interrupt of the wl12xx is a level interrupt in nature, since the
interrupt line is not auto-reset. However, since resetting the interrupt
requires bus transactions, this cannot be done from an interrupt
context. Thus, requesting a level interrupt would require to disable the
irq and re-enable it after the HW is acknowledged. Since we now request
a threaded irq, this can also be done by specifying the IRQF_ONESHOT
flag.

Triggering on an edge can be problematic in some platforms, if the
sampling frequency is not sufficient for detecting very frequent
interrupts. In case an interrupt is missed, the driver will hang as the
interrupt line will stay high until it is acknowledged by the driver,
which will never happen.

Fix this by requesting a level triggered interrupt, with the
IRQF_ONESHOT flag.

a620865edf wl12xx: Switch to a threaded interrupt handler
To achieve maximal throughput, it is very important to react to
interrupts as soon as possible. Currently the interrupt handler wakes up
a worker for handling interrupts in process context. A cleaner and more
efficient design would be to request a threaded interrupt handler.  This
handler's priority is very high, and can do blocking operations such as
SDIO/SPI transactions.

Some work can be deferred, mostly calls to mac80211 APIs
(ieee80211_rx_ni and ieee80211_tx_status). By deferring such work to a
different worker, we can keep the irq handler thread more I/O
responsive. In addition, on multi-core systems the two threads can be
scheduled on different cores, which will improve overall performance.

The use of WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_PENDING & WL1271_FLAG_IRQ_RUNNING was
changed. For simplicity, always query the FW for more pending
interrupts. Since there are relatively long bursts of interrupts, the
extra FW status read overhead is negligible. In addition, this enables
registering the IRQ handler with the ONESHOT option.

393fb560d3 wl12xx: Change claiming of the SDIO bus
The SDIO bus is claimed and released for each SDIO transaction. In
addition to the few CPU cycles it takes to claim and release the bus, it
may also cause undesired side effects such as the MMC host stopping its

Since only the wl12xx_sdio driver drives this SDIO card, it is safe to
claim the SDIO host once (on power on), and release it only when turning
the power off.

8aad24642a wl12xx: Reorder data handling in irq_work
The FW has a limited amount of memory for holding frames. In case it
runs out of memory reserved for RX frames, it'll have no other choice
but to drop packets received from the AP. Thus, it is important to
handle RX data interrupts as soon as possible, before handling anything
else.

In addition, since there are enough TX descriptors to go around, it is
better to first send TX frames, and only then handle TX completions.

Fix this by changing the order of function calls in wl1271_irq_work.

11251e7e5c wl12xx: Don't rely on runtime PM for toggling power
Runtime PM might not always be enabled. Even if it is enabled in the
running kernel, it can still be temporarily disabled, for instance
during suspend. Runtime PM is opportunistic in nature, and should not be
relied on for toggling power.

In case the interface is removed and re-added while runtime PM is
disabled, the FW will fail to boot, as it is mandatory to toggle power
between boots. For instance, this can happen during suspend in case one
of the devices fails to suspend before the MMC host suspends, but after
mac80211 was suspended. The interface will be removed and reactivated
without toggling the power.

Fix this by calling mmc_power_save_host/mmc_power_restore_host in
wl1271_sdio_power_on/off functions. It will toggle the power to the chip
even if runtime PM is disabled. The runtime PM functions should still be
called to make sure runtime PM does not opportunistically power the chip
off (e.g. after resuming from system suspend).

misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).

Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.

Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

b622d992c2 wl12xx: AP-mode - management of links in PS-mode
Update the PS mode of each link according to a bitmap polled from
fw_status. Manually notify mac80211 about PS mode changes in connected
stations.

mac80211 will only be notified about PS start when the station is in PS
and there is a small number of TX blocks from this link ready in HW.
This is required for waking up the remote station since the TIM is
updated entirely by FW.

When a station enters mac80211-PS-mode, we drop all the skbs in the
low-level TX queues belonging to this sta with STAT_TX_FILTERED
to keep our queues clean.

09039f42a2 wl12xx: AP-mode - count free FW TX blocks per link
Count the number of FW TX blocks allocated per link. We add blocks to a
link counter when allocated for a TX descriptor. We remove blocks
according to counters in fw_status indicating the number of freed blocks
in FW. These counters are polled after each IRQ.

ba7c082a13 wl12xx: AP-mode - support HW based link PS monitoring
When operating in AP mode the wl1271 hardware filters out null-data
packets as well as management packets. This makes it impossible for
mac80211 to monitor the PS mode by using the PM bit of incoming frames.

Disable mac80211 automatic link PS-mode handling by supporting
IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS in HW flags.

a8c0ddb5ba wl12xx: AP-mode - TX queue per link in AC
When operating in AP-mode we require a per link tx-queue.
This allows us to implement HW assisted PS mode for links,
as well as regulate per-link FW TX blocks consumption.
Split each link into ACs to support future QoS for AP-mode.

AC queues are emptied in priority and per-link queues are
scheduled in a simple round-robin fashion.

99a2775d02 wl12xx: AP-mode - fix race condition on sta connection
If a sta starts transmitting immediately after authentication, sometimes
the FW deauthenticates it. Fix this by marking the sta "in-connection"
in FW before sending the autentication response.

The "in-connection" entry is automatically removed when connection
succeeds or after a timeout.

f4d08ddd3e wl12xx: fix potential race condition with TX queue watermark
Check the conditions for the high/low TX queue watermarks when the
spin-lock is taken. This prevents race conditions as tx_queue_count and
the flag checked are only modified when the spin-lock is taken.

The following race was in mind:
- Queues are almost full and wl1271_op_tx() will stop the queues, but it
  doesn't get the spin-lock yet.
- (on another CPU) tx_work_locked() dequeues 15 skbs from this queue and
  tx_queue_count is updated to reflect this
- wl1271_op_tx() does not check tx_queue_count after taking the
  spin-lock and incorrectly stops the queue.

The wl12xx fw supports ack status reporting for tx frames, so
add the IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS flag to our supported
features.

Since we do the rate control in the fw, we'll probably want
to adjust the STA_LOST_PKT_THRESHOLD heuristics in the future, to
account for retransmissions as well.
