Since some of the HT code pre-dates 802.11n-2009
some names are wrong. The one that bothers me most
is that "HT operation" is called "HT information"
in our code and that causes confusion.

Rename "HT information" to "HT operation" and also
the control_chan field to primary_chan to match
the name used in the spec.

Sometimes the probe frame (nullfunc) is stuck at the hw queue. so that
the mac80211 terminates the connection as it wont see the tx status.
Instead of waiting for long period for ack status, lets call flush
to get nullfunc status immediately. It also helps to send the nullfunc
till max tries reached.

There might be latency at AP side to update TIM IE which could cause the
station to send pspoll frame even after the wakeup. If the powersave is
disabled, the nullfunc notification alone is sufficient to receive
frames from the AP. And if the pspoll frame was already sent, no need to
resend the frame till it was acked by AP.

In the experiment with Azimuth ADEPT-n testbed where the APs transmit
power was reduced to 25% and the signal strength was futher attenuated
by 20dB and induced a path loss of ~7dB, the station was reporting
beacon losses and the following issue were observed.

* rx clear is stuck at low for more than 300ms
* dcu chain and complete state is stuck at one of the hang signature

This patch triggers the hang detection logic that recovers the chip
from any of the above conditions. As the issue was originally reported
in ChromeOs with AR9382 chips, this detection logic is enabled only for
AR9380/2 chips.

This patch improves ANI operations by switching among the immunity
levels based on PHY errors and beacon rssi which will adjust receiver
desensitizing parameters. The changes are

* Configure the Weak Signal Detection based on current immunity value.
* At highest OFDM immunity level poor performance was observed with
  strong interference. By tuning the FIR step and spur immunity levels
  and not changing any weak signal detection thresholds at any level
  helped to improve the performance.
* ANI took long time to recover back to lower immunity levels on heavy
  data load. As the listen time got reset to zero before reaching to
  the 5x of aniperiod, the immunity level is not lowering back even
  without any interference. This patch fix that.

"rt2x00: rt2800usb: rework txdone code"

We should schedule txdone work on timeout, otherwise if newer get
tx status from hardware, we will never report tx status to mac80211
and eventually never wakeup tx queue.

commit 0d95521e (ath9k: use split rx buffers to get rid of order-1 skb
allocations) added in memory leak in error path.

sc->rx.frag should be cleared after the pskb_expand_head() call, or else
we jump to requeue_drop_frag and leak an skb.

When we have downlink traffic alone and the station is going thru
bgscan, the client is out of operating channel for around 1000ms which
is too long. The mac80211 decides when to switch back to oper channel
based on tx queue, bad latency and listen time. As the station does not
have tx traffic, the bgscan can easily affect downlink throughput. By
reducing the listen time, it helps the associated AP to retain the
downstream rate.

The station_info struct had demanded dBm signal values, but the
cfg80211 wireless extensions implementation was also accepting
"unspecified" (i.e. RSSI) unit values while the nl80211 code was
completely unaware of them.  Resolve this by formally allowing the
"unspecified" units while making nl80211 ignore them.

Current commit 0775f9f9
"mac80211: remove spurious BSSID change flag" exposed bug on iwlegacy,
that we do not set BSSID address correctly and then device was not able
to receive frames after successful associate.

On the way fix scan canceling comment. Apparently ->post_associate()
do cancel scan itself, but scan cancel on BSS_CHANGED_BSSID is needed.
I'm not sure why, but when I removed it, I had frequent auth failures:

 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 1/3)
 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 2/3)
 wlan4: send auth to 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe (try 3/3)
 wlan4: authentication with 54:e6:fc:98:63:fe timed out

Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The
assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help
de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous
interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are
collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too
much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips
specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the
connection stability in congested networks.

This il->vif is dereferenced in different part of iwlegacy code, so do
not nullify it. This should fix random crashes observed in companion
with microcode errors i.e. crash in il3945_config_ap().

Additionally this should address also
WARNING: at drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy/common.c:4656 il_mac_remove_interface
at least one of the possible reasons of that warning.

skb_add_rx_frag() API is misleading.

Network skbs built with this helper can use uncharged kernel memory and
eventually stress/crash machine in OOM.

Add a 'truesize' parameter and then fix drivers in followup patches.

Space allocated for int_name_<foo> is insufficient for
maximal device name, expand it.

Code to create int_name_<foo> is obscure, simplify it
by using sprintf.

Found by looking for unnecessary \ line continuations.
