A crash upon booting that is caused by bcm43xx has been reported [1] and
found to be due to a work queue being reinitialized while work on that
queue is still pending. This fix modifies the shutdown of work queues and
prevents periodic work from being requeued during shutdown. With this patch,
no more crashes on reboot were observed by the original reporter. I do not
get that particular failure on my system; however, when running a large
number of ifdown/ifup sequences, my system would kernel panic with the
'caps lock' light blinking at roughly a 1 Hz rate. In addition, there were
infrequent failures in the firmware that resulted in 'IRQ READY TIMEOUT'
errors. With this patch, no more of the first type of failure occur, and
incidence of the second type is greatly reduced.

Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision
ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member.
This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword
for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the
read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all.
In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what
appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code
and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.
Compile tested with make all{yes,mod}config on x86_64 and i386.

The CONFIG_BCM947XX configuration variable was designed for use by the
embedded device used by the OpenWRT project. The device has been shifted
to the ssb driver in bcm43xx-mac80211 and will not be used with SoftMAC.
Accordingly, this "dead" configuration variable is removed.

In code manipulating the TM State Low register of 802.11 cores, two
different magic numbers are used to reference the 'G Mode Enable' bit.
One of these, 0x20000000, is clear, but the other, (0x800 << 18), is not.
This patch replaces both types with a defined constant. In addition, two
bits in the TM State High registers are given definitions to help in
following the code.

During testing of bcm43xx interference mitigation, two problems were
discovered:
(1) When the MANUALWLAN mode was set, routines _stack_save and _stack_restore
generated assertions that were traced to saving ILT registers with addresses
> 0xFFF. This problem was fixed by adding one bit to the field used for
the offset, and subtracting one bit from the space used for the id.
(2) In MANUALWLAN mode, the IRQ XMIT errors are generated. The cause of these
errors has not yet been located. Any suggestions on debugging this problem
would be greatly appreciated.

Nearly all of the writes to the bcm43xx internal lookup tables (ilt)
involve 16-bit quantities. Accordingly, the ilt_write routine was
coded to pass a u16 value. For one early GPHY chip, 32-bit quantities
are needed. For those writes, the value was clipped to 16 bits. This
patch adds an ilt_write32 routine that receives a 32-bit quantity
and writes it to the appropriate locations.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

The in-kernel bcm43xx driver only works with V3 firmware, whereas the
experimental version that incorporates the d80211 stack requires V4
firmware. In bcm43xx-d80211, the fwpostfix module parameter is used
to differentiate between the versions. In bcm43xx-softmac, this
module parameter is only enabled when debugging is on. This patch
makes the module parameter available unconditionaly, and should
ease the future transition from softmac to d80211.

Some versions of the bcm43xx chips only support 30-bit DMA, which means
that the descriptors and buffers must be in the first 1 GB of RAM. On
the i386 and x86_64 architectures with more than 1 GB RAM, an incorrect
assignment may occur. This patch ensures that the various DMA addresses
are within the capability of the chip. Testing has been limited to x86_64
as no one has an i386 system with more than 1 GB RAM.

The current bcm43xx driver ignores any wireless-enable switches on mini-PCI
and mini-PCI-E cards. This patch implements a new routine to interrogate the
radio hardware enabled bit in the interface, logs the initial state and any
changes in the switch (if debugging enabled), activates the LED to show the
state, and changes the periodic work handler to provide 1 second response
to switch changes and to account for changes in the periodic work specs.

When the periodic work function in bcm43xx was converted for voluntary preemption
to reduce latency, a new function was created to estimate the "badness" of
each step, and this quantity was used to determine if preemption should be
enabled when periodic work was undertaken. This concept was quite useful
while debugging of periodic work was in progress. Now that this routine
seems to be working correctly, it is time to simplify the code. This
patch keeps the functionality intact, but simplifies the code.

This saves on some memmove() calls in the driver and seems like something that

The bcm43xx driver uses 4 locations in the devices sprom to determine
the behavior of the leds. Certain defaults are assigned if all bits are
set in those locations. On at least one BCM4303 chip, the sprom contains
values other than the default, which executes an assertion placed in the
default case of a following switch statement. This patch makes the leds
on the above mentioned interface behave correctly. In addition, it limits
the number of logged messages to 20 for the case of unexpected values in
the sprom locations.
