Instead of retrieving one packet at a time from the firmware, try to
retrieve all available packets at once.
This optimization decreases the number of transactions, which saves
CPU cycles and increases network throughput.

The HW supports up to 4095 bytes transfers via SPI. The SPI read & write
operations do not handle larger transfers, causing the HW to stall in such
cases.
Fix this by fragmenting large transfers into smaller chunks, and
transferring each one separately.

What's worse than no comment? A wrong comment.
Several PCMCIA device drivers contained the same comments, which
were based on how the PCMCIA subsystem worked in the old days of 2.4.,
and which were originally part of a "dummy_cs" driver. These comments
no longer matched at all what is happening now, and therefore should
be removed.

Since uCode is responsible for doing DC calibration, there's no need
to let init uCode to do initial DC calibration then send results
back to driver, then driver sends the results to runtime uCode.
Driver can simply tell runtime uCode to do DC calibration.
Actually, this patch does not disable DC calib for init uCode. It just
prevent driver from saving and sending the DC calib results (from init
ucode) to runtime uCode. The driver still uses 0xffffffff in
CALIB_CFG_CMD for init ucode.

iwlwifi driver supports multiple devices. Since some device needs
special configuration we create a new iwl_nic_ops structure which is
configurable per device. Currently there is only one function pointer
inside this structure: additional_nic_config().
The iwl_nic_ops structure is added to the top level in struct iwl_ops,
making it easier to change per device. Duplication of the iwl_lib_ops
structure is no longer needed.
With this new ops the previous function pointer set_calib_version is
no longer needed since it is just a per device nic configuration.
As part of the code restructuring, a bug is addressed. Indication of
calib version to uCode is only needed for 6050 devices, however,
current implementation set calib version for all 6000 devices for
which DC calib is needed. To fix this, create iwl6050_ops for 6050
devices and only populate iwl_nic_ops in this structure.

iwl3945's scan_completed calls into the mac80211 stack which triggers a
warn on if there is no scan outstanding.
This can be avoided by not calling scan_completed but abort_scan in
iwl3945_request_scan in the done: branch of the function which is used
as an error out.
The done: branch seems to be an error-out branch, as, for example, if
iwl_is_ready(priv) returns false the done: branch is executed.
NOTE:
I'm not familiar with the driver at all.
I just quickly scanned as a reaction to
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17722

Currently then dwell times for each channel in scans is set to an overly
long value, and excessive number of probe-requests are transmitted on each
channel (for active scans.)
Based on testing, comparable results can be received with smaller dwell-time,
and, with fever probe-requests - in fact, reducing the number of probe-requests
to 2 seems to increase the number of found results.
Configure more optimal values for per channel dwell times. Comparison for the
different scan configurations (in my current office environment):
dwell-time 60000 3x probe-req == ~60 results
40000 3x probe-req == ~50 results
30000 3x probe-req == ~40 results
dwell-time 60000 2x probe-req == ~70 results
40000 2x probe-req == ~60 results
30000 2x probe-req == ~58 results
The above are results for a cumulative 3 scan run. For individual scans, the
number of results drop slightly more.
