mwl8k: use cond_resched() when loading firmware blocks
Since each firmware block takes on the order of several hundred usec
to upload to the hardware, using msleep in the inner loop would make
the firmware loading process take a lot more time than just doing
busy-waiting like we do now. But if we keep the busy-waiting, we can
at least add a cond_resched() to the inner loop so that we give other
tasks a chance to run while the firmware is being loaded.

mwl8k: enforce FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC when no STA interfaces are active
When FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC is not set, we enable the hardware's BSS
filter so that we'll only see packets destined for our BSS. But if no
STA interfaces have been configured, we would end up passing the BSSID
00:00:00:00:00:00 into the POST_SCAN command, which actually disables
the hardware's BSS filter, as it's not a valid BSSID.
Fix this by passing in 01:00:00:00:00:00 instead (the criterion is
that the OUI part of the BSSID must be nonzero), and add comments to
explain what PRE_SCAN and POST_SCAN do.

mwl8k's ->prepare_multicast() currently just enables reception of
all multicast packets, which is somewhat ineffective.
Fix this by either disabling all multicast RX, enabling multicast
RX according to the multicast address filter table, or enabling all
multicast RX, depending on whether ->prepare_multicast() was given
any multicast addresses and whether the hardware multicast address
filter table is large enough to fit all requested addresses.

Minor changes to the transmit quiescing logic:
- Clarify the locking rules for ->tx_wait: only the holder of fw_mutex
can wait for the TX path to become idle, but tx_wait itself is read
and cleared by the TX reclaim tasklet under tx_lock.
- Inline mwl8k_txq_busy() in its callers.
- There's no need to kick the transmitter again in
mwl8k_tx_wait_empty(), since it will have been kicked when the
packets currently in the TX ring were added to it.
- If the TX ring didn't drain in time, run mwl8k_scan_tx_ring() after
reading priv->pending_pkts without dropping tx_lock in between.

mac80211: remove RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP
While there may be a case for a driver adding its
own bits of radiotap information, none currently
does. Also, drivers would have to copy the code
to generate the radiotap bits that now mac80211
generates. If some driver in the future needs to
add some driver-specific information I'd expect
that to be in a radiotap vendor namespace and we
can add a different way of passing such data up
and having mac80211 include it.
Additionally, rename IEEE80211_CONF_RADIOTAP to
IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR since it's still used by
b43(legacy) to obtain per-frame timestamps.
The purpose of this patch is to simplify the RX
code in mac80211 to make it easier to add paged
skb support.

code was added that tried to align the radiotap header
position in memory based on the radiotap header length.
Quite obviously, that is completely useless.
Instead of trying to do that, use unaligned accesses
to generate the radiotap header. To properly do that,
we also need to mark struct ieee80211_radiotap_header
packed, but that is fine since it's already packed
(and it should be marked packed anyway since its a
wire format).

mac80211: split hardware scan by band
There's currently a very odd bug in mac80211 -- a
hardware scan that is done while the hardware is
really operating on 2.4 GHz will include CCK rates
in the probe request frame, even on 5 GHz (if the
driver uses the mac80211 IEs). Vice versa, if the
hardware is operating on 5 GHz the 2.4 GHz probe
requests will not include CCK rates even though
they should.
Fix this by splitting up cfg80211 scan requests by
band -- recalculating the IEs every time -- and
requesting only per-band scans from the driver.
Apparently this bug hasn't been a problem yet, but
it is imaginable that some older access points get
confused if confronted with such behaviour.

mac80211: fix dynamic power save for devices with nullfunc support in hw
In TX path it was assumed that dynamic power save works only if
IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is set. But is not the case, there are
devices which have nullfunc support in hardware but need mac80211
to handle dynamic power save timers, TI's wl1251 is one of them.
The fix is to not check for IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK in
is_dynamic_ps_enabled(), instead check IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flags and act accordingly.
Tested with wl1251.

cfg80211/mac80211: use debugfs_remove_recursive
We can save a lot of code and pointers in the structs
by using debugfs_remove_recursive().
First, change cfg80211 to use debugfs_remove_recursive()
so that drivers do not need to clean up any files they
added to the per-wiphy debugfs (if and only if they are
ok to be accessed until after wiphy_unregister!).
Then also make mac80211 use debugfs_remove_recursive()
where necessary -- it need not remove per-wiphy files
as cfg80211 now removes those, but netdev etc. files
still need to be handled but can now be removed without
needing struct dentry pointers to all of them.
