Add debugfs file to enable/disable HT40(40MHz) channel support.
By default, 40MHz is supported if AP can support the function.
By echo "1" to "disable_ht40" file, iwlwifi driver will disable the
40MHz support and only allow 20MHz channel.
Because the information exchange happen during association time,
so enable/disable ht40 channel only can be performed when it is not
associated with AP.

Finally! This is what you've all been waiting for!
This patch makes cfg80211 take care of wext emulation
_completely_ by itself, drivers that don't need things
cfg80211 doesn't do yet don't even need to be aware of
wireless extensions.
This means we can also clean up mac80211's and iwm's
Kconfig and make it possible to build them w/o wext
now!
RIP wext.

When enqueuing packets on the internal packet queue, we
need to ensure that we have a valid vif pointer since
that is required since the net namespace work. Add some
assertions to verify this, but also don't crash is for
some reason we don't end up with a vif pointer -- warn
and drop the packet in all these cases.
Since this code touches a number of hotpaths, it is
intended to be temporary, or maybe configurable in the
future, at least the bit that is in the path that gets
hit for every packet, ieee80211_tx_pending().

Jouni and Maxim reported an oops when using wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211,
which seems to be due to random data being contained in the crypto

There is a small window where the mac80211 changes the IEEE80211_CONF_PS
flag, and then informs the driver about the change. We have a race
condition if we are checking the flag in the same time. Avoid it by
introducing a local variable, and using that instead of checking the
IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag directly.
This fix the problem reported by Luis:

Marcel reported a warning, which quite obviously comes
from an oversight in the code handling deauth frames,
and which resulted in multiple follow-up warnings due
to this missing handling. This patch adds the missing
deauth handling (telling cfg80211 about it) and also
removes the follow-up warnings since they could happen
due to races even if nothing is wrong. I've explained
the races in the comments.

but task is already holding lock:
(rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81400ff2>] rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20
which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

When looking at the correct code, the problem is quite
obvious. I'm not entirely sure which code paths lead
here, so until I can analyse it better let's just use
RCU to avoid the problem.

The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess:
1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver
and device data in a single packed structure -- this
is very confusing
2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a
structure by embedding the latter in the former, which
is also rather confusing because it leads to weird
unions and similarly odd constructs
3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands,
even if only 32 end up being used
This patch fixes these things:
1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of
command metadata and device command separately, in
two arrays in each tx queue
2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only
put in the required members
3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of
embedding them into the txq structure

driver detect the Radio temperature reach pre-defined threshold
Two Thermal Throttling Management Methods; this patch introduce the
Advance Thermal Throttling:
TI-0: system power index, no tx/rx restriction, HT enabled
TI-1: power index 5, 1 spatial stream Tx, multiple spatial stream Rx, HT
enabled
TI-2: power index 5: 1 spatial stream Tx, 1 spatial stream Rx, HT
disabled
TI-CT-KILL: power index 5, no Tx, no Rx, HT disabled
For advance Thermal Throttling, CT_KILL_ENTER threshold and CT_KILL_EXIT
threshold are different; uCode will not stay awake until reach
CT_KILL_EXIT threshold.

Part 1 of Thermal Throttling Management -
Thermal Throttling feature is used to put NIC into low power state when
driver detect the Radio temperature reach pre-defined threshold
Two Thermal Throttling Management Methods; this patch introduce the
Legacy Thermal Management:
IWL_TI_0: normal temperature, system power state
IWL_TI_1: high temperature detect, low power state
IWL_TI_2: higher temperature detected, lower power state
IWL_TI_CT_KILL: critical temperature detected, lowest power state
Once get into CT_KILL state, uCode go into sleep, driver will stop all
the active queues, then move to IWL_TI_CT_KILL state; also set up 5
seconds timer to toggle CSR flag, uCode wake up upon CSR flag change,
then measure the temperature.
If temperature is above CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode go backto sleep;
if temperature is below CT_KILL exit threshold, uCode send Card State
Notification response with appropriate CT_KILL status flag, and uCode
remain awake, Driver receive Card State Notification Response and update
the card temperature to the CT_KILL exit threshold.

If advance thermal throttling is used the driver need to pass both
"enter" and "exit" temperature to uCode.
Using different critical temperature threshold for legacy and advance
thermal throttling management based on the type of thermal throttling
method is used except 1000.
For 1000, it use advance thermal throttling critical temperature
threshold, but with legacy thermal management implementation until ucode
has the necessary implementations in place.

When a station queries us for a PS-poll response, we wrongly
queue the frame on the virtual interface's queue rather than
the pending queue.
Additionally, fix a race condition where we could potentially
send multiple frames to the sleeping station due to using a
station flag rather than a packet flag. When converting to a
packet flag, we can also convert p54 and remove the filter
clearing we added for it.

We were issuing probe requests to the associated AP on the wrong
band by having our beacon timer loss trigger while we are scanning.
When we would scan the timer could hit and force us to send a
probe request to the AP but with a chance we'd be on the wrong band.
This leads to finding no usable bitrate but we should not get so
far on the xmit path. We should not be trying to send these probe
request frames so prevent ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap() from sending
these.
As it turns out all callers of ieee80211_mgd_probe_ap() need this
check so we just move the scan check there. This means we can remove
the recenlty added check during ieee80211_sta_monitor_work().
Additionally we now fix a race condition added by the patch
"mac80211: do not monitor the connection while scanning" which
had the same check in ieee80211_sta_conn_mon_timer(). The race
happens because the timer routine *does* a valid check for
scanning but after it queues work into the mac80211 workqueue
the work callback can kick off with scanning enabled and cause
the same issue we were trying to avoid.
The more appropriate solution would be to disable the respective
timers during scan and re-enable them after scan but requires more
complex code and testing.

When a new MLME work is created, its timeout is initialised

Introduce a new scan flag "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL" which basically tells us
that we are currently on a different channel for scanning and cannot
RX/TX. "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" tells us that we are currently running a
software scan but we might as well be on the operating channel to RX/TX.
While "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" is set during the whole scan "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL"
is set when leaving the operating channel and unset when coming back.
Introduce two new scan states "SCAN_LEAVE_OPER_CHANNEL" and
"SCAN_ENTER_OPER_CHANNEL" which basically implement the functionality we
need to leave the operating channel (send a nullfunc to the AP and stop
the queues) and enter it again (send a nullfunc to the AP and start the
queues again).
Enhance the scan state "SCAN_DECISION" to switch back to the operating
channel after each scanned channel. In the future it sould be simple
to enhance the decision state to scan as much channels in a row as the
qos latency allows us.

and should not be changed afterwards. Because rt2x00lib_config_antenna()
was using a reference to the struct antenna_setup it actually had the oppurtunity
to change the default antenna setting and it actually did that during the validation.
Instead of passing a pointer to antenna_setup the entire structure should be copied.
