* wl1251: Add support for idle modeJarkko Nikula2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Nokia N900 the wl1251 consumes the most power when the interface is up but not associated to access point (that supports PSM). In terms of battery current consumption, the consumption is ~180 mA higher when the interface is up but not associated and only ~5 mA higher when associated compared to interface down and driver not loaded cases. This patch adds support for the mac80211 idle notifications. Chip is put into idle very much the same way when entering into PSM by utilizing the Extreme Low Power (ELP) mode. I.e. idle is entered by setting necessary conditions in wl1251_ps_set_mode followed by a call to wl1251_ps_elp_sleep. It seems it is just enough the authorize ELP mode followed by CMD_DISCONNECT (thanks to Kalle Valo about the idea to use it). Without disconnect command the chip remains somewhat active and stays consuming ~20 mA. Idle mode is left by same way than PSM. The wl1251_join call is used to revert the CMD_DISCONNECT. Without it association to AP doesn't work when trying second time. With this patch the interface up but not associated case the battery current consumption is less than 1 mA higher compared to interface down case.

* wl1251: Prepare for idle mode supportJarkko Nikula2011-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RFC for WL1251 idle mode support brought a few issues that are worth to update before adding the idle mode support. Since the idle mode can reuse the code that is now used in Power Save Mode (PSM), the flag psm in struct wl1251 is changed to variable station_mode to be able to distinguish between PSM and idle modes. As the station mode is different than the power power save mode command that is sent to chip, the enum wl1251_cmd_ps_mod values are used only when communicating with the chip and new enum wl1251_station_mode values are used inside the driver. Confusing comment about psm and elp relation is removed since the PSM is actually activated by putting the chip into Entreme Low Power (ELP) mode.

* mac80211: make tx() operation return voidJohannes Berg2011-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The return value of the tx operation is commonly misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and they must also properly manage the queues (if they didn't, mac80211 would already warn). Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY value also allows significant cleanups of the TX TX handling code in mac80211. Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the old "return -1" there was wrong.

* | wl1251: implement connection quality monitoringDavid Gnedt2011-02-03
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement connection quality monitoring similar to the wl1271 driver. It triggers ieee80211_cqm_rssi_notify with the corresponding event when RSSI drops blow RSSI threshold or rises again above the RSSI threshold. It should be noted that wl1251 doesn't support RSSI hysteresis, instead it uses RSSI averageing and delays events until a certain count of frames proved RSSI change.

* wl1251: move to it's own directoryKalle Valo2010-10-11
wl1271 driver is under heavy development but on the other hand the older wl1251 driver is currently considered more as a legacy driver. To make it easier to develop wl1271 features move wl1251 to it's own directory, drivers/net/wireless/wl1251. There are no functional changes, only moving of files. One regression is that Kconfig won't be updated automatically and user needs to enable wl1251 manually with an older config file. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@adurom.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
