e1ecad78e5 ath9k: fix mci_is_enabled utility
During driver stop, btcoex is disabled and also btcoex_hw.enabled
is set to false. Afterwards mci_is_enabled returns false so that
BT is not gaining SPDT control on WLAN sleep. Fix that.

a68807e917 ath9k_hw: fix BT mute at hw init
WLAN driver initialization is muting BT which is terminating
the ongoing BT traffic. The reason to mute BT is to avoid any
incoming MCI messages from BT when MCI reset is in progress that
could corrupt WLAN MCI RX state machine. But we should not
dedicate radio completely to WLAN in driver init itself. So this
patch removes the wlan weightage changes from mute BT to retain
BT connection.

84b60c144c wl1251: send filters to firmware as they are set
Firmware supports changing filters using ACX_RX_CFG command,
so use it in .configure_filter callback. Firmware also supports
probe request filtering, so add it too along the way.
This will also re-enable BSSID filter which is now removed by
join command while associating.

a2d2bb8675 wl1251: fix filtering support
This driver has a hack in cmd.c which effectively disables all filtering.
This seems to be triggering a firmware bug where it stops reporting any
rx packets after random time on some routers, which is eliminated (or at
least appears much more rarely) when filtering is on.
I have found that only BSSID filter needs to be disabled for association
to work, so disable only that instead of all filtering.

edc7651f3a brcm80211: smac: use current regulatory domain when checking whether OFDM is allowed
The brcmsmac internal regulatory data is being used to determine whether
OFDM should be allowed, and this is only done once during
initialization. To be effective this needs to be checked against
mac80211's regulatory rules for the current channel.

2cf5089ed5 brcm80211: smac: use mac80211 channel data for tx power limits
Currently the limits from the internal X2 domain are used, regardless
of what regulatory rules are in effect. Instead use the power limits set
by the higher-level regulatory support.

The rules for the MIMO power limits are still always derived from the
world domain, pending guidance from Broadcom as to how these need to be
handled. This will be fixed later, but using the limits from the world
domain works for now.

cf03c5dac8 brcm80211: smac: inform mac80211 of the X2 regulatory domain
brcmsmac implements enforcement of regulatory constraints internally,
using a Broadcom-specific world roaming domain named X2. Besides being
duplication of functionality this can also conflict with mac80211's
regulatory implementation, as mac80211 is unaware of the X2 domain and
thus might apply a more restrictive domain.

This patch is the first step in making brcmsmac cooperate with
mac80211's regulatory support. X2 is registered as a custom domain with
mac80211, so that at least both implementations will be enforcing the
same set of constraints. The internal enforcement of rules is kept for
now; this will be converted over to relying on mac80211 regulatory
enforcement in later patches.

0b81cc3922 ath9k_hw: fix OFDM weak signal detection handling
Commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
was unifying some code related to overriding OFDM weak signal detection,
but seems to have gotten some of the original intent wrong, probably
because of a misnamed variable.

The beacon RSSI is only valid in station mode, and the main reason to check
it in ath9k_hw_set_ofdm_nil is to make sure that OFDM weak signal detection
stays enabled if the RSSI is low, even when the OFDM noise immunity entry
is supposed to disable it.

The above commit removed the mode checks and changed the code so that
OFDM weak signal detection would only be changed if the rssi is high, which
is wrong for everything but client mode.

This patch restores the old behavior in a simplified form.

6df653c71e mac80211: initialize sta pointer to avoid false-positive warning
Some compilers (eg. gcc 4.4.1 for ARM) report a false positive warning
in mlme.c:

net/mac80211/mlme.c: In function 'ieee80211_prep_connection':
net/mac80211/mlme.c:3035: warning: 'sta' may be used uninitialized in this function

This is a false positive because the place where 'sta' is used is
inside an if with the same condition of where it is set:

[...]
        if (!have_sta) {
                sta = sta_info_alloc(sdata, cbss->bssid, GFP_KERNEL);
                if (!sta)
                        return -ENOMEM;
        }
[...]
        if (!have_sta) {
[...]
                sta->sta.supp_rates[cbss->channel->band] = rates;
[...]

For some reason the compiler doesn't understand this and warns.

While this is not a problem in the code itself, we can avoid polluting
the build logs with false positives by setting sta to NULL on
declaration and checking for sta instead of !have_sta in the second if.
