As described at http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=130428493104730&w=2
libertas frequently generates spurious tx timeouts, because the tx
queue is brought down for extended periods during scanning. The net
layer takes a look and incorrectly assumes the queue has been down for
several seconds, and generates a tx_timeout.
One way to fix this is to bump the trans_start counter while scanning
so that the network layer knows that the device is still alive, but
I think the tx_timeout handler is implemented wrongly here and not of
any real use, so I vote to remove it.
As explained at http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=130430311115755&w=2
the watchdog is primarily meant to deal with lockup on the hardware TX
path (detected by the tx queue being stopped for an extended period of
time), but this is unlikely to happen with libertas. In this case, the tx
queue is stopped only while waiting for lbs_thread to send the queued frame
to the driver, and lbs_thread wakes up the queue immediately after, even
if the frame could not be sent correctly.
So, the only hardware-related possibility that this catches is if
hw_host_to_card hangs - this is something I have never seen. And if it
were to happen, nothing done by lbs_tx_timeout would actually wake up
lbs_thread any quicker than otherwise.
Removing this oddly-behaving spuriously-firing tx_timeout handler should
fix an occasional kernel crash during resume

While draining the txq in flush, the buffers can be
added into the tx queue by tx_tasklet which leads to
unneccesary chip reset.
This issue was originially found with AR9382 and
running heavy uplink udp traffic with higher bandwidth
and doing frequent bgscan.

The USB drivers don't support automatically waking up when in powersaving mode,
add a work object which will wakeup the device in time to receive the next beacon.
Based on that beacon, we either go back into powersaving mode, or we remain awake
to receive the buffered frames for our station.
Some part of the code, especially rt2x00lib_find_ie and rt2x00lib_rxdone_check_ps
are inspired on the code from carl9170.

Add recycling functionality to rt2x00usb_register_read_async.
When the callback function returns true, resubmit the urb to
read the register again.
This optimizes the rt2800usb driver when multiple TX status reports
are pending in the register, because now we don't need to allocate
the rt2x00_async_read_data and urb structure each time.

When operating as AP, the TX queues are not stopped when we start
recovery. mac80211 is notified only after the fact. When there is
pending TX, it will be queued even after the FW is down. This leads to
situations where the TX queues are stopped (because of the TX-watermark
mechanism), and are never woken up when we return from recovery.
Fix this by explicitly stopping the TX queues when before initiating
recovery.

This notion of "pending" is appropriate for power save considerations in

The FW can dynamically manage its internal TX & RX memory pools, moving
blocks from one pool to another when necessary. This can significantly
improve performance. Currently this feature is enabled only for 128x.
Enable dynamic memory for 127x as well. Other parameters in the memory
configuration structure may need to be fine tuned, as the optimal values
for these may change once dynamic memory is enabled.

The driver stops sending TX packets when either there aren't enough
memory blocks, or it runs out of TX descriptors. The driver continues to
send packets to the FW only when more memory blocks are available.
The FW might free TX descriptors without freeing the corresponding
memory blocks, especially when dynamic memory is enabled. In cases where
memory blocks are not freed at all, the driver will keep waiting for
more memory blocks indefinitely.
Fix this by clearing the WL1271_FLAG_FW_TX_BUSY flag when there are
available TX descriptors.

The 128x/AP firmware does not yet support dynamic memory. Temporarily,
the memory configuration for the 127x was used both for 127x/AP as well
as 128x/AP. Since the two chips don't have the same number of memory
blocks, TP was significantly degraded.
This hasn't been fine tuned yet, but using the base 128x numbers
(without dynamic memory) seems to yield much better results (around 30%
more). Additional fine tuning will be required in the future.

ieee80211_reconfig() sets most of the "changed" flags regardless
of the actual change (e.g. BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC will be set even if
the interface is still not associated). in this case the driver
will issue some unneeded commands.
Since the driver relies solely on the BSS_CHANGED_ASSOC flag,
without checking if there was an actual change, it will end up
issuing unjoin() and dummy_join() commands, although it was
never associated and should just remain idle.
Avoid it by checking the actual state change, in addition to the
"changed" flag.
(there seem to be more redundant configuration commands being
issued, but they shouldn't harm)

If an interface type changes from a type that is
only supported on the PAN context (e.g. P2P GO)
to a type that is supported on the BSS context,
and the BSS context is not in use, then we need
to use the BSS context instead of changing the
device type within the context. To achieve this,
refuse the type change, which causes a down/up
cycle that will allocate the BSS context for the
interface.
