Implement new functionality for scheduled scan offload. With this feature we can scan automatically at certain intervals. The idea is that the hardware can perform scan automatically and filter on desired results without waking up the host unnecessarily. Add NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN commands to the nl80211 interface. When results are available they are reported by NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_RESULTS events. The userspace is informed when the scheduled scan has stopped with a NL80211_CMD_SCHED_SCAN_STOPPED event, which can be triggered either by the driver or by a call to NL80211_CMD_STOP_SCHED_SCAN.

The functions drv_add_interface() and drv_remove_interface() print out the same values in the traces. Combine the traces of these two functions into one event class to remove some duplicate code. Also add a new class for functions drv_set_frag_threshold() and drv_set_rts_threshold().

Not sure if I'm chasing a ghost here, seems like the mesh_path->size_order needs to be inside an RCU-read section to prevent that value from changing between table allocation and copying.

Mesh beacons no longer use all-zeroes BSSID. Beacon frames for MBSS, infrastructure BSS, or IBSS are differentiated by the Capability Information field in the Beacon frame.

Introduce a new configuration option to support AMPE from userspace. Prior to this series we only supported authentication in userspace: an authentication daemon would authenticate peer candidates in userspace and hand them over to the kernel. From that point the mesh stack would take over and establish a peer link (Mesh Peering Management). These patches introduce support for Authenticated Mesh Peering Exchange in userspace. The userspace daemon implements the AMPE protocol and on successfull completion create mesh peers and install encryption keys.

Some of the BCM43xx chips contain cores that are attached to the SSB, but are inactive as they do not connect to the external environment. These must not be registered. Several of these types are handled in driver ssb; however, the specific case of an inactive 802.11 cores is now treated in b43 and b43legacy. Although the current setup works, this minor change will place all such workarounds in ssb, and simplify the code in drivers b43 and b43legacy.

The structure definition is struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer { u8 hdr[4]; struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm ps_cfm_sleep; } __packed; For sleep_confirm command we already reserve 4 bytes (using skb_reserve()) for an interface header. It will be filled later by interface specific code. We don't need "hdr[4]" element in above structure. So we can use "struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm" directly instead of "struct mwifiex_opt_sleep_confirm_buffer".

Broadcom has released cards based on a new AMBA-based bus type. From a programming point of view, this new bus type differs from AMBA and does not use AMBA common registers. It also differs enough from SSB. We decided that a new bus driver is needed to keep the code clean. In its current form, the driver detects devices present on the bus and registers them in the system. It allows registering BCMA drivers for specified bus devices and provides them basic operations. The bus driver itself includes two important bus managing drivers: ChipCommon core driver and PCI(c) core driver. They are early used to allow correct initialization. Currently code is limited to supporting buses on PCI(e) devices, however the driver is designed to be used also on other hosts. The host abstraction layer is implemented and already used for PCI(e). Support for PCI(e) hosts is working and seems to be stable (access to 80211 core was tested successfully on a few devices). We can still optimize it by using some fixed windows, but this can be done later without affecting any external code. Windows are just ranges in MMIO used for accessing cores on the bus.

This seems to be a leftover from the old days, when we didn't support any frames that didn't contain the full ieee802.11 header. This is not the case anymore. It does not cause problems now, because they are only dropped during scan. But when scheduled scans get merged, this would become a problem because we would drop all small frames while scheduled scan is running. To fix this, return RX_CONTINUE instead of RX_DROP_MONITOR.
