cfg80211: add cellular base station regulatory hint support
Cellular base stations can provide hints to cfg80211 about
where they think we are. This can be done for example on
a cell phone. To enable these hints we simply allow them
through as user regulatory hints but we allow userspace
to clasify the hint as either coming directly from the
user or coming from a cellular base station. This option
is only available when you enable
CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS.
The base station hints themselves will not be processed
by the core unless at least one device on the system
supports this feature.

This adds CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS which is to
be used for features / code which require a bit of work on
the system integrator's part to ensure that the system will
still pass 802.11 regulatory certification. This option is
also usable for researchers and experimenters looking to add
code in the kernel without impacting compliant code.
We'd use CONFIG_EXPERT alone but it seems that most standard
Linux distributions are enabling CONFIG_EXPERT already. This
allows us to define 802.11 specific kernel features under a
flag that is intended by design to be disabled by standard
Linux distributions, and only enabled by system integrators
or distributions that have done work to ensure regulatory
certification on the system with the enabled features.

cfg80211: fix set_regdom() to cancel requests with same alpha2
While adding regulatory support to ath6kl I noticed that I easily
got the regulatory code confused. The way to reproduce the bug was:
1. iw reg set FI (in userspace)
2. cfg80211 calls ath6kl_reg_notify(FI)
3. ath6kl sets regdomain in firmware
4. firmware sends regdomain event to notify about the new regdomain (FI)
5. ath6kl calls regulatory_hint(FI)
And this (from FI to FI transition) confuses cfg80211 and after that I
only get "Pending regulatory request, waiting for it to be
processed...." messages and regdomain changes won't work anymore.
The reason why ath6kl calls regulatory_hint() is that firmware can change
the regulatory domain by it's own, for example due to 11d IEs. I could
of course workaround this in ath6kl but I think it's better to handle
the case in cfg80211.
The fix is pretty simple, use a different error code if the regdomain is
same and then just set the request processed so that it doesn't block new
requests.

is intentionally not using the mactime field since that
is used for other things and in IBSS is expected to sync

cfg80211: don't allow WoWLAN support without CONFIG_PM
When CONFIG_PM is disabled, no device can possibly
support WoWLAN since it can't go to sleep to start
with. Due to this, mac80211 had even rejected the
hardware registration. By making all the code and
data for WoWLAN depend on CONFIG_PM we can promote
this runtime error to a compile-time error.
Add #ifdef around all WoWLAN code to remove it in
systems that don't need it as they never suspend.

ath9k: raise aggregation limit to 64k for HT IBSS
mac80211 adds stations in HT IBSS as soon as a frame comes by,
even if the HT capabilities are not known yet (they are often
received later, e.g. in beacons). So far, ampdu factor/density
are only calculated when the station is initially added.
This patch changes this to update ampdu factor/density settings
when starting a blockack session.
Using this patch, we had performance boosts from 60 to 150 MBit/s
between two 2x2 Atheros devices in 5 GHz HT IBSS mode.

wlcore: print stack trace in every recovery
As recovery queuing can now occur from multiple code paths
it's convenient to know what triggered it in all cases
other than an intended recovery which is part of the
switch between single role to multi role.

wlcore: queue recovery in case of bus errors during cmd_remove_peer
Following the addition of propagating errors from the bus ops
there's a need to distinguish between bus errors (including timeout)
and a legitimate timeout occuring in cmd_wait_for_event_or_timeout.
In case of real bus errors we need to queue recovery even in cases
where a timeout on a response from the FW to a command is acceptable.

wlcore: fix broken TX due to wrong queuing of recovery
commit 14bba17b "wl12xx: Propagate errors from wl1271_raw_write32"
breaks down TX in certain scenarios. wl1271_irq_locked() propagates
errors from wl1271_tx_work_locked however it may return -EBUSY
when the FW queues are full which is a legitimate case and not a
a real error. In this case a recovery is triggered by wl1271_irq
and this keeps repeating itself so TX is completely broken.
Fix it by avoiding propagating return values as errors even if they
aren't. Only bus (SDIO or SPI) ops failures would be progagated
as only these should trigger recovery.

PG1 version as deprecated and bail out during probe.
