Sujith reported warnings with suspend/resume due to
channel contexts. When I looked into it, I realised
that the code was completely broken as it unassigned
the channel contexts when suspending, which actually
means they are destroyed.
Eliad Peller then pointed out that we also need to
remove the channel contexts from the driver. When I
looked into this, I also noticed that the code isn't
handling the virtual monitor interface correctly (if
it exists.)
Fix this by calling just the driver methods (if they
are implemented) instead of using the channel context
management code. Also add reconfiguration for the
virtual monitor interface.

mwifiex: minor cleanup and a fix in scan semaphore usage
mwifiex_request_scan() takes care of synchronous internal scan
performed by driver during association.
Currently the semaphore acquired for the scan is unnecessarily
released at the end of different paths. Also, failure paths
returning error code other than "-1" are not considered.
We will release it at the end of routine to fix above issues.

mwifiex: abort scan upon interface down
When the interface is down, we will abort scan by calling
cfg80211_scan_done() with abort option. This fixes WARN_ON
triggered by cfg80211 in wdev_cleanup_work().
Driver's internal variables/flags are cleared once we get
response for current scan command. Meanwhile we will block
new scan request from cfg80211.

bcma: suspend/resume callbacks should be conditionally compiled on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
This will fix warnings like following when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is not set:
warning: 'xxx_suspend' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
warning: 'xxx_resume' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
Because
SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS(suspend_fn, resume_fn)

When the BT connection is initiated by headset, it's possible that headset
requests to make one A2DP and one Voice connection over the same link.
BT firmware will send a new profile A2DP_Voice in this case. So WLAN
has to take care of this new profile for tuning BTCOEX parameters.

While resuming from S3, BT host issues HCI reset command and it
causes BT firmware to busy with security key calculation. At this
movement, WLAN detects MCI hardware error of MCI_CONT_INFO_TIMEOUT
and then it starts the recovery sequence repeatedly. Too many
recovery sequences would exhaust the BT kernel message pool. This
patch imposes a duration between consecutive BT recovery procedure.
Thus it solves BT firmware panic issue reported in AR9565.

Self generated MCI messages is configured to use chain 1. As
ar9565 is 1x1 solution, It can not use Chain 1. Hence fix
Chain 1 for ar9462 alone. Not doing so, could affect WLAN
connectivity in ar9565 as LNA sharing is not informed by BT.

The simulataneous transmission of both WLAN and BT might cause
increase in power levels. To avoid regulatory violation, WLAN tx
power will be adjusted according to BT power index based on avaliability
of BT scheduling messages. WLAN tx power reduction might affect its
performance. So WLAN tx power is only be lowered when the signal strength
is good enough. Otherwise concurrent tx will be disabled and WLAN uses
it default power levels. Also concurrent tx is disabled whenever WLAN is
moving to off-channel which might be used by BT.

ath9k: Add concurrent WLAN and BT tx support for MCI based chips
This feature enables both WLAN and BT can transmit simultaneously
by setting WLAN and BT to equal priorities. Whenever both are

regulatory violation, WLAN tx power will be adjusted according to BT
power index based on avaliability of BT scheduling message. If the
combined power exceeds threshold, BT transmission will be held off.

ath9k: Ensure we set FTP_STOMP_LOW weight when WLAN is idle
When WLAN is idle ensure we downgrade to FTP_STOMP_LOW weight
(from STOMP_LOW) to provide more bandwidth for BT FTP profile.
WLAN's idleness can be estimated by taking into account of the
rx data packets and just ignore beacons, qos nullfunc etc.
Also update bt_wait_time even if the chip is in NETWORK SLEEP
mode. This should help BT throughput when WLAN is idle.

carl9170: fix spurious transmissions in sniffer mode
Several people have complained about an unusual
and undocumented feature of the AR9170 hardware:
In siffer mode, the hardware generates spurious
ACK frames for every received frame... even
broadcasts.
The reason for this malfunction is unknown:
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=134517238506033>
But there's a workaround: Instead of the special
sniffer mode, the hardware will be put into
station mode and all rx filters are disabled.
