As described at http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=130428493104730&w=2
libertas frequently generates spurious tx timeouts, because the tx
queue is brought down for extended periods during scanning. The net
layer takes a look and incorrectly assumes the queue has been down for
several seconds, and generates a tx_timeout.

One way to fix this is to bump the trans_start counter while scanning
so that the network layer knows that the device is still alive, but
I think the tx_timeout handler is implemented wrongly here and not of
any real use, so I vote to remove it.

As explained at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130430311115755&w=2
the watchdog is primarily meant to deal with lockup on the hardware TX
path (detected by the tx queue being stopped for an extended period of
time), but this is unlikely to happen with libertas. In this case, the tx
queue is stopped only while waiting for lbs_thread to send the queued frame
to the driver, and lbs_thread wakes up the queue immediately after, even
if the frame could not be sent correctly.

So, the only hardware-related possibility that this catches is if
hw_host_to_card hangs - this is something I have never seen. And if it
were to happen, nothing done by lbs_tx_timeout would actually wake up
lbs_thread any quicker than otherwise.

Removing this oddly-behaving spuriously-firing tx_timeout handler should
fix an occasional kernel crash during resume

netif_tx_start_all_queues is used to allow the upper layer
to transmit frames but it does not restart transmission.
To restart the trasmission use netif_tx_wake_all_queues.
Not doing so, sometimes stalls the transmission and the
application has to be restarted to proceed further.

The devices that require IV generation in software need tailroom
reservation  for ICVs used in TKIP or WEP encryptions.
Currently, decision to skip the tailroom reservation in the tx
path was taken only on whether driver wants MMIC to be generated

such decisions and fixes the following warning.

Currently, mac80211 handles MIC failures differently
depending on whenever they are detected by the stack's
own software crypto or when are handed down from the
driver.

This patch tries to unify both by moving the special
branch out of mac80211 rx hotpath and into into the
software crypto part. This has the advantage that we
can run a few more sanity checks on the data and verify
if the key type was TKIP. This is very handy because
several devices generate false postive MIC failure
reports. Like carl9170, ath9k and wl12xx:

When operating as AP, the TX queues are not stopped when we start
recovery. mac80211 is notified only after the fact. When there is
pending TX, it will be queued even after the FW is down. This leads to
situations where the TX queues are stopped (because of the TX-watermark
mechanism), and are never woken up when we return from recovery.

Fix this by explicitly stopping the TX queues when before initiating
recovery.

improve performance. Currently this feature is enabled only for 128x.

The driver stops sending TX packets when either there aren't enough
memory blocks, or it runs out of TX descriptors. The driver continues to
send packets to the FW only when more memory blocks are available.

The FW might free TX descriptors without freeing the corresponding
memory blocks, especially when dynamic memory is enabled. In cases where
memory blocks are not freed at all, the driver will keep waiting for
more memory blocks indefinitely.

Fix this by clearing the WL1271_FLAG_FW_TX_BUSY flag when there are

The 128x/AP firmware does not yet support dynamic memory. Temporarily,
the memory configuration for the 127x was used both for 127x/AP as well
as 128x/AP. Since the two chips don't have the same number of memory
blocks, TP was significantly degraded.

This hasn't been fine tuned yet, but using the base 128x numbers

more). Additional fine tuning will be required in the future.

ieee80211_reconfig() sets most of the "changed" flags regardless
of the actual change (e.g. BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC will be set even if
the interface is still not associated). in this case the driver
will issue some unneeded commands.

Since the driver relies solely on the BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC flag,
without checking if there was an actual change, it will end up
issuing unjoin() and dummy_join() commands, although it was
never associated and should just remain idle.

Avoid it by checking the actual state change, in addition to the
"changed" flag.
