909e9b23e4 iwlagn: free the Tx cmd when a non empty Tx queue is freed
When a non-empty Tx queueis freed, the buffer it contains must be
freed too. Since the Tx cmd are now allocated from a pool, the Tx
cmd must be freed too.

This patch avoids to destroy a non-empty pool of Tx cmd.

39644e9ac5 iwlagn: unmap cmd queue's tfds as BIDI
If the driver is unloaded while there is still a host command in
flight, its tfd will be freed by iwl_tx_queue_free.
This function is called for both types of queues: Tx queues and cmd
queue. This didn't take in count the fact that in Tx queues, tfds are
mapped as TO_DEVICE (besides the first TB), whereas in cmd queue, all
TBs are mapped as BIDI.

Hence, tx_queue_free unmapped the second (and higher) TB of each tfd
in the cmd queue as TO_DEVICE, whereas they must be freed as BIDI.
This means that if a multi TFD is in flight while we unload the
driver (which is quite unlikely but can happen), we will get the
warning below.

This patch fixes this.

17a68dd7bc iwlagn: warn about buggy fw that doesn't set SEQ_RX_FRAME
The way we check if there is host command that should be reclaimed is
way too complicated. We should have a clear indication from the fw.
The fw is expected to set the SEQ_RX_FRAME bit if the frame was
originated by the fw which indicates to the driver that there is no
host command to free.
Somehow, there seem to have been buggy fw out there, hence the very
old comment.

This code checks if we have still buggy fw out there.

So this patch resets the nf history buffer when none of the

Do the magnitude/phase coeff correction only if the outlier

impacts not only tx gain setting but also leads to poor
performance in congested networks. In the clear environment
the impact is very minimal because the outlier happens
very rarely according to the past experiment. It occured
less than once every 1000 calibrations.

55768fa6d9 libertas: prioritize usb8388_olpc.bin firmware on OLPC machines
Normally, the v9 firmware will be loaded if it's available.  However, on
OLPC XO-1 machines, the olpc-specific firmware supports extra functionality.
This makes the libertas driver attempt to load the custom firmware first
if the machine is an OLPC machine; if that fails (or it's not an OLPC
machine), fall back to attempting to load the other firmwares.

usb8388_olpc.bin is currently found in the linux-firmware repository.

d7d259d3a5 rt2x00: Use the available helper functions to initialize the WCID table
Use rt2800_config_wcid and rt2800_delete_wcid_attr to initialize the
WCID table instead of writing to the registers directly.

af35323db6 rt2x00: Forbid aggregation for STAs not programmed into the hw
If a STA is not known by the hw (i.e. has no WCID assigned) don't allow
aggregation since this might mess up tx status reports and we won't be
able to distinguish the reports of multiple WCID-less STAs.

a2b1328a23 rt2x00: Make use of sta_add/remove callbacks in rt2800
This allows us to assign a WCID to each STA even for STAs without
crypto key.

To achieve this search for an unused WCID in the HW WCID table and
assign it to the according STA. When configuring a pairwise key for this
STA we don't need to write the MAC address and BSSIDX anymore but just
update the crypto related fields in the WCID_ATTR table.

This has two advantages:

1) Setting a new key for an already available STA (PTK rekeying) is
slightly less expensive and should improve performance in situations
where a lot of rekeying happens (e.g. a huge number of stations and/or
a small rekeying interval)

2) The TXWI now gets a WCID assigned for unencrypted frames which will
be reflected in the corresponding tx status report. This should make tx
status reports in unencrypted AP mode more reliable as we can
distinguish between multiple key-less STAs.
