In f41f3f37 the B43 driver was ported
to use the cfg80211 API for rfkill and consequently the config option
was dropped (RFKILL is now unconditionally enabled).

However in the Kernel Info the feature is still checked and reported
missing. This patch just removes the conditional and the relevant code
blocks while still reporting that feature unconditionally would be
another option (it's always there).

Country IEs triplets are getting an extra channel with
the current count. This does not affect regulatory because
we always took the intersection between what the AP gave
and what CRDA believed is correct.

This however does fix processing some Country IEs with multiple
sequential 2 GHz triplets. Since our parser and the spec mandates
all channels be monitonically increasing we would drop the IE after
noticing the second triplet begins on a channel already processed.
APs that send these type of country IEs seems rare though.

As follows:
- GET_HW_SPEC is now responsible for setting
  priv->{ap,sta}_macids_supported, which are bitmasks of supported
  macids for AP and STA mode.  (Typically, STA firmware images will
  support only one macid, #0, in STA mode, and AP firmware images
  will support macids #0-7, in AP mode.)
- Our wiphy ->interfaces_modes is now set based on the non-zero-ness
  of these two bitmasks.
- We main priv->macids_used, a bitmask of which macids are currently
  in use.  ->add_interface() will assign the lowest free macid for
  this interface type as it is created, or bail out if there are no
  more free macids to assign.  ->delete_interface() will mark the
  macid as being free again.

One of the bytes in the mwl8k firmware command header is the 'macid'
byte, which for per-vif commands indicates which of the BSSes this
command is intended for.  (For commands that are not per-vif commands,
this byte can just be 0.)

This patch adds mwl8k_post_pervif_cmd(), which will take the macid
assigned to this interface (to be done in ->add_interface()), copy it
into the command packet macid field, and post the command as usual.

Whenever mac80211 gives us a legacy rate bitmap in the context of the
5 GHz band, we need to remember to shift the bitmap left by 5 positions
before giving it to the firmware, as the firmware follows the bitmap
bit assignment of the 2.4 GHz rate table even if we're on the 5 GHz
band, and the 2.4 GHz rate table includes five non-OFDM rates at the
start that are not valid in the 5 GHz band.

The mwl8k firmware uses indices into the 2.4 GHz band rate table for
the receive descriptor channel field even if the packet was received
on a 5 GHz channel, while mac80211 expects an index into the 5 GHz
band rate table when packets are received on the 5 GHz band, which
presents a mismatch as the 5 GHz band rate table lacks the five
non-OFDM rates that the 2.4 GHz rate table starts with.

To handle this properly, we need to substract 5 from the rate index
field if the packet was received on a 5 GHz channel (and was not
received at an MCS rate).

To make U-APSD client mode effective, we must not wake up from dynamic power
save when transmitting frames. So if dynamic power save is enabled, it needs
check the queue the transmitted packet is in and decide if we need to wake
up or not.

In a perfect world, where all packets would have correct QoS tags, U-APSD
enabled queues should not trigger wakeup from power save. But in the real
world, where very few packets have correct QoS tags, this won't work. For
example, if only voip class has U-APSD enabled and we send a packet in voip
class, but the packets we receive are in best effort class, we would receive
the packets with the legacy power save method. And that would increase
latencies too much from a voip application point of view.

The workaround is to enable U-APSD for all qeueus and still use dynamic ps
wakeup for all other queues except voip. That way we can still save power
with a voip application and not sacrifice latency. Normal traffic (in
background, best effort or video class) would still trigger wakeup from
dynamic power save.

Currently dynamic ps check is in ieee80211_xmit(), but it's cleaner
to have a separate tx handler for this. Also this is a prerequisite for
U-APSD client mode which needs to know the queue frame is in.

Also need_dynamic_ps() function is embedded to the tx handler.

No functional changes expect that the code is run in a later phase than
originally.

Add Unscheduled Automatic Power-Save Delivery (U-APSD) client support. The
idea is that the data frames from the client trigger AP to send the buffered
frames with ACs which have U-APSD enabled. This decreases latency and makes it
possible to save even more power.

Driver needs to use IEEE80211_HW_UAPSD to enable the feature. The current
implementation assumes that firmware takes care of the wakeup and
hardware needing IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is not yet supported.

Since commit "mwl8k: handle station database update for AP's sta entry
via ->sta_notify()", mwl8k every now and then gets a command timeout
when ifconfig'ing a STA interface down.  This turns out to be due to
mwl8k_stop() being called while the work queue item that was scheduled
by mwl8k_sta_notify() to remove the STA entry for the associated AP is
still queued, and the former disables interrupts so that when the
latter eventually runs, a command completion interrupt is never seen.

Fix this by changing ieee80211_stop_device() so that the workqueue is
flushed before drv_stop() is called, instead of doing it the other way
around as is done now.  (As ->stop() is allowed to sleep, there isn't
any reason for drivers to queue work from within it.)
