When brcm80211 firmware is not installed networking hangs.
A deadlock happens because we call ieee80211_unregister_hw()
from the .start callback of struct ieee80211_ops. When .start
is called we are under rtnl lock and ieee80211_unregister_hw()
tries to take it again.

Function call stack:

dev_change_flags()
	__dev_change_flags()
		__dev_open()
			ASSERT_RTNL() <-- Assert rtnl lock
			ops->ndo_open()

.ndo_open = ieee80211_open,

ieee80211_open()
	ieee80211_do_open()
		drv_start()
			local->ops->start()

.start = brcms_ops_start,

brcms_ops_start()
	brcms_remove()
		ieee80211_unregister_hw()
			rtnl_lock() <-- Here we deadlock

Introduced by:
commit 25b5632f
("brcmsmac: request firmware in .start() callback")

This patch fixes the bug by removing the call to brcms_remove()
and moves the brcms_request_fw() call to the top of the .start
callback to not initiate anything unless firmware is installed.

qi->tqi_readyTime is written directly to registers that expect
microseconds as unit instead of TU.
When setting the CABQ ready time, cur_conf->beacon_interval is in TU, so
convert it to microseconds before passing it to ath9k_hw.

This should hopefully fix some Tx DMA issues with buffered multicast
frames in AP mode.

Currently a "r8185" integer variable is used as a boolean flag to
indicate whether the card is a rtl8185 or not.
Since now the driver supports only rtl8185 and rtl8180 cards, if
"r8185" variable is zero then the card is implicitly assumed to
be a rtl8180.

Now I'm preparing to add support for a third card type (rtl8187se).

This patch changes the "r8185" flag with an enum variable to
explicitly indicate which card type we have.

I'm submitting this this patch now, even if I still have to submit
other patches that not pertain with rtl8187se support, because
IMHO it's not worth rebasing them on the current code, using r8185
flag, and then changing them back again nearly immediately.
BTW if someone feels I really should do this, please tell me..

Currently AMPDU aggregation is preferred over AMSDU. AMSDU
aggregation is performed only if AMPDU streams in firmware
are full.
This patch adds simultaneous AMSDU and AMPDU aggregation
support. This mechanism helps to improve throughput.
AMSDU is enabled only for 8897 chipsets which supports 4K
transmit buffer. User can disable AMSDU using
'disable_tx_amsdu' module parameter.

iwlegacy version of this iwlwifi patch:

commit aed7d9ac
Author: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com>
Date:   Wed Feb 20 11:33:00 2013 +0200

    iwlwifi: disable 8K A-MSDU by default

    Supporting 8K A-MSDU means that we need to allocate order 1
    pages for every Rx packet. Even when there is no traffic.
    This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of
    compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager
    and not using them will make the allocation code run faster
    although I didn't really measure.
    Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little
    data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since
    the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP
    to have a big Rx window.
    See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details.

    Note that very few vendors will actually send A-MSDU.
    Disable this feature by default.
