2013-03-27carl9170: remove fast channel change featureChristian Lamparter
Marco Fonseca reported a issue with his carl9170 device: "I'm seeing a problem with the carl driver. If I change channels repeatedly on the 2.4ghz band, monitoring (e.g. tcpdump) will eventually halt. I've seen this on various versions of the carl driver/firmware (both from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7)" <http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136381302428113> The culprit was identified as "fast channel change feature" which according to Adrian Chadd is: "... notoriously unreliable and really only fully debugged on some very later chips." <http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136416984531380> Therefore, this patch removes the fast channel change feature. The phy will now always have to go through a cold reset when changing channels, but it should no longer become deaf.

2013-03-27mwl8k: always apply configuration even when device is idleJonas Gorski
Fix settings not being applied when the device is idle and the firmware gets reloaded (because of changing from STA to AP mode). This caused the device using the wrong channel (and likely band), e.g. a 5 GHz only card still defaulted to channel 6 in the 2.4 GHz band when left unconfigured. This issue was always present, but only made visible with "mwl8k: Do not call mwl8k_cmd_set_rf_channel unconditionally" (0f4316b9), since before that the channel was (re-)configured at the next _config call even when it did not change from the mac80211 perspective.

2013-03-27brcmsmac: deactivate ucode sending probe responsesHauke Mehrtens
It is possible to configure the ucode to automatically send the probe responses to the clients after they send a probe request. At least for WPS the userspace needs to answer the probe requests and we do not know a way to say to the ucode to just handle the normal probe requests, so for now no probe requests should be handled by the ucode.

2013-03-27mwifiex: use fw_status register to wake up PCIe cardAvinash Patil
FW can be woken up even by accessing device registers; we need not explicitily enable interrupts for doing this. Future PCIe devices will not be woken up by writing to host registers.

2013-03-27b43: N-PHY: use more bits for offset in RSSI calibrationRafał Miłecki
When calculating "offset" for final RSSI calibration we're using numbers bigger than s8 can hold. We have for example: offset[j] = 232 - poll_results[j]; formula. If poll_results[j] is small enough (it usually is) we treat number's bit as a sign bit. For example 232 - 1 becomes: 0xE8 - 0x1 = 0xE7, which is not 231 but -25. This code was introduced in e0c9a0219a8f542e3946fe972a68aacf8c3f906c and caused stability regression on some cards, for ex. BCM4322.

2013-03-27b43: A fix for DMA transmission sequence errorsIestyn C. Elfick
Intermittently, b43 will report "Out of order TX status report on DMA ring". When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume. The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source firmware; however, all versions of the firmware are affected. This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less than the observed value, and supplies a fake status report to skip one header/data pair. Not all devices suffer from this problem, but it can occur several times per second under heavy load. As each occurence kills the unmodified driver, this patch makes if possible for the affected devices to function. The patch logs only the first instance of the reset operation to prevent spamming the logs.

2013-03-27b43: N-PHY: increase initial value of "mind" in RSSI calibrationRafał Miłecki
We're using "mind" variable to find the VCM that got the best polling results. For each VCM we calculte "currd" which is compared to the "mind". For PHY rev3+ "currd" gets values around 14k-40k. Looking for a value smaller than 40 makes no sense, so increase the initial value.

2013-03-25mwifiex: reset skb->data after processing PCIe sleep confirm cmd resposeAvinash Patil
This patch is a bug fix for an issue wherein power save was not working for PCIe. This happens because for processing power save sleep confirm command we pull skb so that skb->data points ahead of interface header. We use same skb to get other cmda responses as well. So if we don't push skb after processing cmd response, it results into reduction in skb->len and finally skb->len reaches zero. This causes failure in processing sleep command response. Fix this by pushing skb by INTF_HEADER_LEN at the end of command response processing.
