ucode firmware may need to be released as experimental for testing or
debugging. released ucode filenames have the API version as the last
component. experimental ucode files will have that component be "exp"
and the fw_version string reported by ethtool will also contain the
string EXP to clearly identify this ucode from released ucode.
EXP is short for EXPERIMENTAL since fw_version has a max lenght on 32.
this capability is controlled by Kconfig and defaulted to not be used.

When iwl_mac_config() is called by mac80211, the channel pointer
hw->conf->channel can potentially change, resulting in mismatch
band and channel number when configuring RXON command. To avoid
this situation, save the channel pointer in local variables
and validate the channel before using it. Note that priv->mutex
is locked during the whole function so the local variables are safe.

it copies code from iwl_mac_config().

Currently the driver will try to protect all frames,
which leads to a lot of odd things like sending an
RTS with a zeroed RA before multicast frames, which
is clearly bogus.
In order to fix all of this, we need to take a step
back and see what we need to achieve:
* we need RTS/CTS protection if requested by
the AP for the BSS, mac80211 tells us this
* in that case, CTS-to-self should only be
enabled when mac80211 tells us
* additionally, as a hardware workaround, on
some devices we have to protect aggregated
frames with RTS
To achieve the first two items, set up the RXON
accordingly and set the protection required flag
in the transmit command when mac80211 requests
protection for the frame.
To achieve the last item, set the rate-control
RTS-requested flag for all stations that we have
aggregation sessions with, and set the protection
required flag when sending aggregated frames (on
those devices where this is required).
Since otherwise bugs can occur, do not allow the
user to override the RTS-for-aggregation setting
from sysfs any more.
Finally, also clean up the way all these flags get
set in the driver and move everything into the
device-specific functions.

configurations because locks don't exist, and
that causes an endless amount of warnings. Use
lockdep_assert_held() instead, which has two
advantages:
1) it verifies the current task is holding

2) it compiles away completely when lockdep

We do not need to synchronize when canceling priv->scan_check work.
We can avoid races (sending double abort command or send no
command at all) using STATUS_SCAN_ABORT bit. Moreover
current iwl_bg_scan_check() code seems to be broken, as
we should not send abort commands when currently aborting.

gcc complains about the firmware loading:

iwl-agn.c:1860: warning: ‘tlv_len’ may be used uninitialized in this function
iwl-agn.c:1861: warning: ‘tlv_type’ may be used uninitialized in this function
iwl-agn.c:1862: warning: ‘tlv_data’ may be used uninitialized in this function
This is almost correct but we do do break out of the TLV
parsing loop when setting ret. However, the code is hard
to follow, and clearly even the compiler is having issues
with it too.
Additionally, however, the current code is wrong. If there
is a TLV length check error, the code will report
invalid TLV after parsing: ...
because "len" will still be non-zero as we broke out of
the loop.
So to remove the warning and fix that issue, make the code
easier to read by doing length checking with an error label.
As a result, we can completely remove the "ret" variable.
Also, while at it, remove the "fixed_tlv_size" variable
since each TLV type has its own specified length, it just
happens that we have only variable length, flags (0 length)
and u32 TLVs right now. It should still be checked with more
explicit length checks to make it easier to understand.
