    iwlwifi: do not set tx power when channel is changing

we set device tx power during initialization to priv->tx_power_next,
which itself is initialized to minimum power. That changed
default behaviour of driver. Previously we initialized device to
transmit at maximum available power by default. Patch change again
to previous behaviour and cleanup tx power initialization.

Fortunately this is not critical fix, as mac80211 layer setup
tx power lately to 14dB, hence device does not operate at minimal
transmit power all the time.

This variable is only ever checked right after
the function that sets it, but the same function
will also return the status, so we can pass it
through instead of checking hw_ready later.

On new hardware, ucode images always come in
pairs: code and data. Therefore, combine the
variables into an appropriate struct and use
that when both code and data are needed.

Also, combine allocation and copying so that
we have less code in total.

The current firmware loading mechanism in
iwlwifi is very hard to follow, and thus
hard to maintain. To make it easier, make
the firmware loading synchronous.

For now, as a side effect, this removes a
number of retry possibilities we had. It
isn't typical for this to fail, but if it
does happen we restart from scratch which
this also makes easier to do should it be
necessary.

A notification wait function is called with the

Starting the device consists of many things,
refactor out enabling the hardware and also
return -ERFKILL when the rfkill signal is

There's no point in running through iwl_down()
when we never registered with mac80211, as it
just cleans up internal structures that were
never initialised in this case. Therefore we
can also remove the special handling for this
case from __iwl_down().

The current code to read the error table header
just hardcodes all the offsets, which is a bit
hard to understand. We can read in the entire
header (as much as we need) into a structure,
and then take the data from there, which makes
it easier to understand. To read a bigger blob
we also don't need to grab NIC access for each
word read, making the code more efficient.

After driver split, no need to use ieee80211_ops, remove it
Signed-off-by: NWey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>

When testing some new P2P code, Angie found that the
driver might crash because the beacon command ended
up being bigger than a regular command. This is quite
obvious -- a normal command is limited to roughly 360
bytes but a beacon may be much larger of course.

To fix this, use the huge command buffer.

There are a number of things in the driver that
may result in a BUG(), which is suboptimal since
it's hard to get debugging information out of
the driver in that case and the user experience
is also not good :-)

Almost all BUG_ON instances can be converted to
WARN_ON with a few lines of appropriate error
handling, so do that instead.

There's no need to keep both normal and BT statistics
versions around all the time in memory when we only
use a subset of both. So keep only the subsets that
we need in memory, depending on the debug config).

Also, in doing so, we can remove all the calls to
iwl_bt_statistics() in the driver as we'll just
access the copied statistics now.

Finally, also remove this call from the one place
where it might still be needed and automatically
detect what kind of statistics the device is sending
based on their size. This way, we don't need to keep
track of which devices do what any more, which is
good since this is subject to change based on the
ucode version (as some ucode even for non-BT devices
will in fact use BT statistics).

Warn upon encountering a statistics command from the
ucode that isn't known, so we will find such issues
earlier in the future.

This generates a massive reduction in module size:
with debug:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 670300	  13136	    420	 683856	  a6f50	iwlagn.ko (before)
 388347	  13136	    408	 401891	  621e3	iwlagn.ko (after)

without debug:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 528575	  13072	    420	 542067	  84573	iwlagn.ko (before)
 294192	  13072	    408	 307672	  4b1d8	iwlagn.ko (after)

This also removes all the IO debug functionality since
it can easily be replaced by tracing, and makes the
code unnecessarily complex.

I haven't done any CPU utilisation measurements, but
given that the hotpaths don't use much IO it is not
likely to have a negative impact; in fact, the size
reduction will reduce cache pressure which possibly
improves performance.

Finally, an unused function or two were removed.

Devices newer than 4965 don't actually send
two different versions of the ALIVE command,
so we always had a bug here since before this
patch we copy more data than we got. Remove
the iwl_init_alive_resp struct and don't use
it.

Since we also really don't need to track all
the data received in ALIVE as we only use the
error and log event tables later, we can also
save space by just keeping those and not more

variety of features, so the TLV-per-feature approach
we took before will quickly make things harder to
manage and increase the file size.

Add a new TLV that has feature flags. Currently, it
will contain:
 1) a PAN feature flag, which moves from a separate
    TLV
 2) a new BT stats bit that indicates whether the

 3) a new MFP flag for management frame protection

Usually H/W generate statistics notify once per about 100ms, but
sometimes we can receive notify in shorter time, even 2 ms.

This can be problem for plcp health and ack health checking.

I.e. with 2 plcp errors happens randomly in 2 ms duration, we
exceed plcp delta threshold equal to 100 (2*100/2).

Also checking ack's in short time, can results not necessary false
positive and firmware reset, for example when channel is noised and
we do not receive ACKs frames or when remote device does not send
ACKs at the moment.

Patch change code to do statistic check and possible recovery only
if 99ms elapsed from last check. Forced delay should assure we have
good statistic data to estimate hardware state.
