This value is unused by mac80211, because it was only
be used by wireless extensions, and turned out to not
be useful there because the quality value needs to be
comparable between scan results and the current value
which is impossible when the qual value is calculated
taking into account noise, for example.

Since it is unused anyway, this patch deprecates it
in the hope that drivers will remove their sometimes
quite expensive calculations of the value.

I'm open to actual uses of the value, but the best
way of using it seems to be what the Intel drivers do
which should probably be generalised if we have noise
values from the hardware.

Compared to ieee80211_beacon_get(), the new function
ieee80211_beacon_get_tim() returns information on the
location and length of the TIM IE, which some drivers
need in order to generate the TIM on the device. The
old function, ieee80211_beacon_get(), becomes a small
static inline wrapper around the new one to not break
all drivers.

Force bias is a fix for usage of AR5416 radios on the 2.4 GHz band
for orientation sensitivity. This was only partially implemented
with the ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() but first -- this was being
called for all chipsets which is not correct and second -- it was
missing the actual orientation code.

We now ensure to only enable force bias only for AR5416 and BUG_ON()
on other chipsets. Although ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() was enabled
for newer chipsets I suspect that it never ran unless the EEPROM had
ATH9K_ANT_FIXED_A or ATH9K_ANT_FIXED_B for antenna diversity.

Document what we can about the RF analog front ends (radios)
of Atheros 802.11n devices. What should be clearer now is the
what we do for old pre AR5416 and AR5418 MAC based devices in
comparison to the modern sigle-chip 802.11n solutions.

All devices after AR9280 are single chip and require less
programming -- the RF registers no longer need to be initialized
as they all have the RF analog front end embedded together with
the MAC/BB; this includes the AR9271. Older devices such as the
ones with the AR5416 MACs (PCI) or AR5418 MACs (PCI-E) have an
external 2.4 GHz AR2133 radio or a dual band 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz
AR5133 radio. These external radios require additional programming
of the RF registers.

shared. This patch has no functional changes.

This update the register initialization/reset values (aka initvals)
for ar9271 based on the last recommended values on 2009-06-04 by our
systems engineering team.

The changes account for:

  * Supporting ar9271 1.0 and ar9271 1.1 together, the difference
    is bb_spectral_scan_ena, for 1.0 we'll set this to 0x1.

  * Ensuring we get the correct noise floor values -115 ~ -118
    when we enable bb_enable_ant_div_lnadiv=0 and
    mc_tx_def_ant_sel=1. Previous to this we would get noise
    floor values in the range -50 ~ -80. To fix settings for
    the registers:

     - bb_ch1_xatten1_db
     - bb_ch1_xatten2_db
     - bb_ch1_xatten1_margin
     - bb_ch1_xatten2_margin
     - bb_ch1_gain_force
     - bb_ch1_xatten2_hyst_margin
     - bb_ch1_xatten1_hyst_margin
     - bb_ch1_max_oc_gain

  * 0x8120[2] mc_mic_new_location_enable is changed to 0x1. The MAC team
    suggest to set this value.

  * 0x9910[0] bb_spectral_scan_ena is changed to 0x0.
    For ar9271 1.1 we don't need to enable this bit.

While there may be a case for a driver adding its
own bits of radiotap information, none currently
does. Also, drivers would have to copy the code
to generate the radiotap bits that now mac80211
generates. If some driver in the future needs to
add some driver-specific information I'd expect
that to be in a radiotap vendor namespace and we
can add a different way of passing such data up
and having mac80211 include it.

Additionally, rename IEEE80211_CONF_RADIOTAP to
IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR since it's still used by
b43(legacy) to obtain per-frame timestamps.

The purpose of this patch is to simplify the RX
code in mac80211 to make it easier to add paged
skb support.

      mac80211: make rx radiotap header more flexible

code was added that tried to align the radiotap header
position in memory based on the radiotap header length.
Quite obviously, that is completely useless.

Instead of trying to do that, use unaligned accesses
to generate the radiotap header. To properly do that,
we also need to mark struct ieee80211_radiotap_header
packed, but that is fine since it's already packed
(and it should be marked packed anyway since its a
wire format).

There's currently a very odd bug in mac80211 -- a
hardware scan that is done while the hardware is
really operating on 2.4 GHz will include CCK rates
in the probe request frame, even on 5 GHz (if the
driver uses the mac80211 IEs). Vice versa, if the
hardware is operating on 5 GHz the 2.4 GHz probe
requests will not include CCK rates even though
they should.

Fix this by splitting up cfg80211 scan requests by
band -- recalculating the IEs every time -- and
requesting only per-band scans from the driver.

Apparently this bug hasn't been a problem yet, but
it is imaginable that some older access points get
confused if confronted with such behaviour.

In TX path it was assumed that dynamic power save works only if

devices which have nullfunc support in hardware but need mac80211
to handle dynamic power save timers, TI's wl1251 is one of them.

The fix is to not check for IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK in
is_dynamic_ps_enabled(), instead check IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flags and act accordingly.
