b43 has a FIXME about locking in the mac80211 set-beacon-int callback for a long time.
As it turns out there actually is a tiny race window that could result in
a use-after-free bug of the 'current_beacon' memory.
Nobody ever reported this, so it probably never happened.

Fix this by adding a spin lock that protects the current_beacon access.
We must not be in atomic context while accessing hardware (due to SDIO),
so the beacon update bottom half has to clone the skb and release the lock
before writing it to hardware.

Let's all hope that this stops the troll who is trying to submit incorrect
fixes for this issue repeatedly.
And let's hope that I'm not a troll, too, who just hides even more evil code
in an even more complex attempt to fix the issue.

Broadcom hardware supports auto-adjustment of TX power depending on the
currently used rate. So far all calculations were handled without any
helpers (API) using big arrays and magic offsets.
It seems Broadcom recently decided to clean this up by developing PPR.
Their wlc_ppr.h can be found in open parts of the SDK.
As we plan to implement support for rate-based TX power it makes sense
to also implement our version of PPR as well.

Access to PHY and radio registers is indirect on Broadcom hardware and
it seems that addressing on some MIPS SoCs may require flushing. So far
this problem was noticed on 0x4716 SoC only (marketing names: BCM4717,

The asyncronous firmware load uses a completion struct to hold firmware
processing until the user-space routines are up and running. There is.
however, a problem in that the waiter is nevered canceled during teardown.
As a result, unloading the driver when firmware is not available causes an oops.

To be able to access the completion structure at teardown, it had to be moved
into the b43_wldev structure.

This patch also fixes a typo in a comment.

Recent versions of udev cause synchronous firmware loading from the
probe routine to fail because the request to user space would time
out. The original fix for b43 (commit 6b6fa586) moved the firmware
load from the probe routine to a work queue, but it still used synchronous
firmware loading. This method is OK when b43 is built as a module;
however, it fails when the driver is compiled into the kernel.

This version changes the code to load the initial firmware file
using request_firmware_nowait(). A completion event is used to
hold the work queue until that file is available. This driver
reads several firmware files - the remainder can be read synchronously.
On some test systems, the async read fails; however, a following synch
read works, thus the async failure falls through to the sync try.

First of all, use PHY names instead of magic numbers. It should make
configuring kernel easier in case of not enabled PHY type support.
Secondly, always print info about PHY. This is really basic info about

b43 with open firmware crashes mac80211 because
it changes the number of queues at runtime which,
while it was never really supported, now crashes
mac80211 due to the new hardware queue logic.

Fix this by detecting open vs. proprietary fw
earlier and registering with mac80211 with the
right number of queues.

Recent changes in udev are causing problems for drivers that load firmware
from the probe routine. As b43 has such a structure, it must be changed.
As this driver loads more than 1 firmware file, changing to the asynchronous routine
request_firmware_nowait() would be complicated. In this implementation, the probe
routine starts a queue that calls the firmware loading routines.

Following Rafal request, we verified that on "modern" CPUs using one
or more workers is equivalent. Here is patch V3 that addresses the
packet loss bug in the dma engine using only one worker.

-------

This patch addresses a bug in the dma worker code that keeps draining
packets even when the hardware queues are full. In such cases packets
can not be passed down to the device and are erroneusly dropped by the
code.

This problem was already discussed here

Number of hardware queues is now defined in b43.h (B43_QOS_QUEUE_NUM).
