The intention behind the original patch:
"iwlwifi: fix possible read attempt on ucode that is not available"
was to exit before any state is changed. Due to its submission directly
to 2.6.24 it was not clear how this relates to the latest iwlwifi work.

This patch does exactly the same as the previous patch, just earlier to
prevent any state from being changed if there is an error.

The problem is that priv->assoc_id is set when assoc. resp frame is
received. But, when it is set, LQ cmd is still not sent to the uCode, it is
done from bg_post_assoc, which is called through a workqueue.

On the other hand, when a tx arrives at the moment when this flag is set,
but LQ is still not sent, the if condition in tx_skb will not hold and
the frame will not be dropped.  Thus, it will be sent through
which is still not in the sta table in the uCoded.

This bit is not used and the tasklet should thus not be scheduled upon

The geo/channel information is obtained from the EEPROM, which is read
during probe. We can thus set up channel information at this time. This
helps us to support ioctl commands that rely on this before the interface
is brought up.

Clearly matches _init_channel_map with _free_channel_map and _init_geos
with _free_geos to ensure functions calling these routines can also call
their cleanup routines.

Fixes a few bugs:
- if channel information is not available when ioctl commands are
  issued then we get a NULL pointer oops. Having channel information
  set up during probe we can deal with ioctl commands without requiring
  interface to be brought up.
  This fixes bug: http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1552
- Fix potential problem if user triggers probe/remove/probe sequence. The
  value of priv->channel_count was used to determine if channel map is
  set up. This value was never reset when channel map was removed.
- Fix memory leak: priv->modes need to be freed when device removed.

After we delay device initialization until interface up, there are more
conditions for the hardware rf_kill switch states during suspend and
resume. For example, before suspend we can have interface up or down,
rf_kill enable or disable; before resume we can have rf_kill enable or
disable. So there are totally 2^3 = 8 conditions to handle. This patch
addressed this problem and makes sure every condition works correctly.

This patch also merges the device suspend and resume handlers with the
mac_start and mac_stop code since they are basically doing the same
thing.

This patch moves the firmware loading (read firmware from disk and load
it into the device SRAM) from pci_probe time to the first network
interface open time. There are two reasons for doing this:

1. To support kernel buildin iwlwifi drivers. Because kernel initializes
   network devices subsystem before hard disk and SATA subsystem, it is
   impossible to get the firmware image from hard disk in the PCI probe
   handler. Thus delaying the firmware loading into the network
   interface open time is the way to go. Note, we only read the firmware
   image from hard disk the first time the interface is open. After this
   is succeeded, we cache the firmware image into the host memory. This
   is a performance gain when user open and close the interface multiple
   times and is necessary for device suspend and resume.

2. For better power saving. When the iwlwifi modules are loaded (or
   buildin the kernel) but the wireless network interface is not being
   used, it is a good practice the wireless device consumes as less
   power as possible. Unloading the firmware from the wireless device
   and unregister the driver's interrupt handler in the network
   interface close handler provides users a way to achieve this. User
   space network configuration tools (i.e NetworkManager) can also
   contribute here when it detects a wired cable is connected and
   close the wireless interface automatically.

This patch also includes the pci_save/restore_state() fixed by Ian Schram
upon the first version.

This patch (based on Ron Rindjunsky's) creates a framework for
a unified way to pass BSS configuration to drivers that require
the information, e.g. for implementing power save mode.

This patch introduces new ieee80211_bss_conf structure that is
passed to the driver via the new bss_info_changed() callback
when the BSS configuration changes.

This new BSS configuration infrastructure adds the following
new features:
 * drivers are notified of their association AID
 * drivers are notified of association status

and replaces the erp_ie_changed() callback. The patch also does
the relevant driver updates for the latter change.

This patch gets rid of the if_id stuff where possible in favour of
a new per-virtual-interface structure "struct ieee80211_vif". This
structure is located at the end of the per-interface structure and
contains a variable length driver-use data area.

This has two advantages:
 * removes the need to look up interfaces by if_id, this is better
   for working with network namespaces and performance
 * allows drivers to store and retrieve per-interface data without
   having to allocate own lists/hash tables
