Noticeable changes in the FW are: - temperature sensing - infrastructure for multiple connections - infrastructure for P2P - signal strength indication This commit introduces only changes that are required to support same functionality as previous firmware, no new features.

| * | | | wil6210: new SW resetVladimir Kondratiev2013-03-13

After SW reset, FW raises "fw done" IRQ, at this moment mailbox control structures are initialized, driver caches it. New status bit wil_status_reset_done introduced to track completion of the reset. It is set by "fw ready" irq, and required for WMI rx flow to access control structures. WMI Tx flow protected by other status bit, wil_status_fwready. It can't be set before wil_status_reset_done is set by design. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Kondratiev <qca_vkondrat@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

In order to comprehensively check the API parameters parse everything first, and then have the driver call a function (cfg80211_check_station_change()) with the additionally information about the kind of station that is being changed; this allows the function to make better decisions than the old code could. While at it, also add a few checks, particularly in mesh and clarify the TDLS station lifetime in documentation. To be able to reduce a few checks, ignore any flag set bits when the mask isn't set, they shouldn't be applied then. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

This behavior triggered the following WARN_ON in the driver: > WARNING: at carl9170/tx.c:995 carl9170_op_tx+0x1dd/0x6fd The driver assumed that the rate control algorithm made a mistake and dropped the frame.

| * | ath9k_hw: improve reset reliability after errorsFelix Fietkau2013-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On many different chips, important aspects of the MAC state are not fully cleared by a warm reset. This can show up as tx/rx hangs, those annoying "DMA failed to stop in 10 ms..." messages or other quirks. On AR933x, the chip can occasionally get stuck in a way that only a driver unload/reload or a reboot would bring it back to life. With this patch, a full reset is issued when bringing the chip out of FULL-SLEEP state (after idle), or if either Rx or Tx was not shut down properly. This makes the DMA related error messages disappear completely in my tests on AR933x, and the chip does not get stuck anymore.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ath9k commit 2ef167557c0a26c88162ecffb017bfcc51eb7b29 (ath9k: fix signal strength reporting issues) fixed an issue where the reported per-frame signal strength reported to mac80211 was being overwritten with an internal average. The same issue is also present in ath9k_htc. In addition to preventing the driver from overwriting the value, this commit also ensures that the internal average (which is used for ANI) only tracks beacons of the AP that we're connected to.

'ath6kl_hif_power_on' assigns 'ath6kl_recv_complete' as usb_complete_t/callback function for 'usb_fill_bulk_urb'. Thus the possibility of ar->htc_target being NULL via ath6kl_recv_complete -> ath6kl_usb_io_comp_work before even 'ath6kl_htc_create' is finished to initialize ar->htc_create. Worth noting is the obvious solution of doing 'ath6kl_hif_power_on' later(i.e after we are done with 'ath6kl_htc_create', causes a h/w bring up failure in AR6003 SDIO, as 'ath6kl_hif_power_on' is a pre-requisite to get the target version 'ath6kl_bmi_get_target_info'. So simply check for NULL pointer for 'ar->htc_target' and bail out.
