04477bf095 wl1271: Check vif for NULL when indicating beacon-loss

separately, there is a slim possibility beacon-loss indications occur while

e0d8bbf0d2 wl1271: Add rudimentary ad-hoc support
This patch adds rudimentary a-hoc support for the driver. It will allow
setting up ad-hoc, and for other devices to scan and join. The beacon and probe
response template setting is slightly dirty, and need to be properly
implemented with support from mac80211. Also, the SSID is not configured to the
firmware - the FW will not be able to respond to probe requests autonomously.

b02914af4d b43: Allow PIO mode to be selected at module load
If userencounter the "Fatal DMA Problem" with a BCM43XX device, and
still wish to use b43 as the driver, their only option is to rebuild
the kernel with CONFIG_B43_FORCE_PIO. This patch removes this option and
allows PIO mode to be selected with a load-time parameter for the module.
Note that the configuration variable CONFIG_B43_PIO is also removed.

Once the DMA problem with the BCM4312 devices is solved, this patch will
likely be reverted.

Rename the receive descriptor ops to reflect this, use the STA ops
unconditionally if the firmware image loaded reported the STA ready
code, and rename the mwl8k_device_info::rxd_ops member to ap_rxd_ops
to indicate that it should only be used if we are running on AP

24feda0084 mac80211: fix propagation of failed hardware reconfigurations
mac80211 does not propagate failed hardware reconfiguration
requests. For suspend and resume this is important due to all
the possible issues that can come out of the suspend <-> resume
cycle. Not propagating the error means cfg80211 will assume
the resume for the device went through fine and mac80211 will
continue on trying to poke at the hardware, enable timers,
queue work, and so on for a device which is completley
unfunctional.

The least we can do is to propagate device start issues and
warn when this occurs upon resume. A side effect of this patch
is we also now propagate the start errors upon harware
reconfigurations (non-suspend), but this should also be desirable
anyway, there is not point in continuing to reconfigure a
device if mac80211 was unable to start the device.

b98c06b6de mac80211: fix race with suspend and dynamic_ps_disable_work
When mac80211 suspends it calls a driver's suspend callback
as a last step and after that the driver assumes no calls will
be made to it until we resume and its start callback is kicked.
If such calls are made, however, suspend can end up throwing
hardware in an unexpected state and making the device unusable
upon resume.

Fix this by preventing mac80211 to schedule dynamic_ps_disable_work
by checking for when mac80211 starts to suspend and starts
quiescing. Frames should be allowed to go through though as
that is part of the quiescing steps and we do not flush the
mac80211 workqueue since it was already done towards the
beginning of suspend cycle.

The other mac80211 issue will be hanled in the next patch.

5b479a076d ath9k: fix missed error codes in the tx status check
My previous change added in:

 commit 815833e7ec
    ath9k: fix tx status reporting

was not checking all possible tx error conditions. This could possibly
lead to throughput issues due to slow rate control adaption or missed
retransmissions of failed A-MPDU frames.

This patch adds a mask for all possible error conditions and uses it
in the xmit ok check.
