Przemo Firszt 0024a1e734 rtl8712: replace min with min_t
I've changed the ugly casting here and used min_t() instead.  I
also changed the u16 to a u32 because ->network.Ssid.SsidLength
is 32 bits.  It doesn't make a difference, but truncating the
upper bits away is sloppy.

The current value for the maximum receive buffer size is 30720, which is

difficult to obtain the buffers of O(2) needed for aggregation. Buffers
of O(3) are even worse, particularly when not needed. The new size is set
to 9100, which will allow aggregation.

Martin Krause 07b99cf55c Staging: rtl8712/rtl8192u: move USB device ID within staging drivers.
It seems the USB device ID 0bda:8192 is wrongly assigned to the
RTL8192SU chip and not to the RTL8191SU chip in the USB database.
So this patch moves this device ID from the rtl8192u staging
driver to the rtl8712 staging driver.

This patch was tested with a Radicom WIFIHU embedded wireless
module with a RTL8191SU chip and the USB device ID 0bda:8192.
Without the patch the rtl8192u driver claims this device, but
it does not work. With the patch the rtl8712 driver services
this device and it works.

In commit c6dc001 "staging: r8712u: Merging Realtek's latest (v2.6.6).
Various fixes", the returned qual.qual member of the iw_statistics
struct was changed. For strong signals, this change made no difference;
however for medium and weak signals it results in a low signal that
shows considerable fluctuation, When using wicd for a medium-strength
AP, the value reported in the status line is reduced from 100% to 60% by
this bug.

In commit 8c213fa "staging: r8712u: Use asynchronous firmware loading",
the command to release the firmware was placed in the wrong routine.

In combination with the bug introduced in commit a5ee652 "staging: r8712u:

that had already been released. This bug is the source of one of the
problems in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996#comment89833.

Larry Finger 9f4bc8cf3f staging: r8712u: Fix regression introduced by commit a5ee652
In commit a5ee652 "staging: r8712u: Interface-state not fully tracked",
the private boolean "bup" was set false when the interface was brought down,
as that seemed appropriate. This change has not caused any problems when
using NetworkManager or manual control of the device; however, when wicd
control is used, there is a locking problem in wpa_supplicant, as shown in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42818.

This fix reverts the only code change in commit a5ee652. My
analysis is that "bup" is badly named. In its present form, it
seems to indicate the up/down state of the device, but its usage
is more consistent with an initialized/uninitialized state. That
problem will be addressed in a later patch.

Note: Commit 8c213fa, which introdued asynchronous firmware loading
for this driver, exposed this bug to a greater extent. That bug
is addressed in the next patch in this series.

This bug is also responsible for the bug in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42815. and this bug is
also part of the problems discussed at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996#comment89950.

Larry Finger 073863432f staging: r8712u: Add missing initialization and remove configuration parameter CONFIG_R8712_AP
When this driver was upgraded to the vendor 20100831 version in
commit 93c55dda09 et al,, one listhead initialization was missed.
This broke complete operation of the driver whenever AP mode was
enabled. This fixes https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27996.

The configuration parameter R8712_AP is misleading as the driver cannot
function as an AP without a heavily hacked version of hostapd. Thus, it
makes sense to remove the parameter; however the code and data configured
for the option is left in.

Larry Finger 86587b671b staging: r8712u: Simplify semaphores
I am preparing to convert this driver from semaphore to mutex locking,
The first step has been to eliminate a number of semaphores that were
initialized but never used, and one whose only use was a single "up"
after initialization. A total of 9 semaphores were removed in this process.

One other change was to remove some inline semaphore routines that were
unused.

In addition, several cases had the following structure:

down()
if () {
   ...
}
up()

The locking overhead was reduced by moving the up/down inside the if
block.
