AP firmware uses xmitcontrol to differentiate between AMPDU
and non-AMPDU frames. As the support for AMPDU is not yet
added, set xmitcontrol to non-AMPDU for all tx frames for AP
firmware. This field will be set to indicate ampdu/non-ampdu
frames when tx AMPDU support is added.

This limitation has been addressed and now the

This patch fixes a possible lengthy stall if the device
is operating as an experimental 11n AP and an STA
[during heavy txrx action] suddenly signalized to go
off-channel (old NetworkManager), or (sleep - which is
unlikely, because then it wouldn't be *active* at all!?).

Because the driver has to manage the BA Window, the
sudden PSM transition can leave active uplink BA
sessions to the STA in a bad state and a proper
cleanup is needed.

The new method now "pings" the device and then

The wl1271_rx function loops through packets in an aggregated buffer. Each
packet in the buffer is handled by a call to wl1271_rx_handle_data, which will
fail if skb memory allocation fails or production mode is enabled. These
failures currently prevent the rx counters to be incremented, thus causing the
rx loop to run forever.

Fix this by ignoring error codes reported wl1271_rx_handle_data function.
This essentially means that frames will be dropped in production mode, which
is the intetion, and frames will be dropped if memory allocation fails, which
is a decent way to recover from that situation.

The number of entries in the TX queue is compared to the low watermark
value each time TX completion interrupts are handled.
However, the fact that a TX completion arrived does not necessarily mean
there are any less skbs in the TX queue.

In addition, a TX completion interrupt does not necessarily mean that there
are any new available TX blocks. Thus, queuing TX work when the low
watermark is reached might not be needed.

Fix this by moving the low watermark handling to the TX work function,
and avoid queuing TX work in this case.

In order to simplify the flow, and make new

processing for modern AGN (5000 and newer)
from RXON processing for the older 3945 and
4965 devices. Avoid changing these old ones
to avoid regressions and move their code to
a new file (iwl-legacy.c). 4965 gets the
commit_rxon that used to be common for all
AGN devices, but with removed PAN support.

The new RXON processing is more central and
does more work in committing, so that it is
easier to follow.

To make it more evident what is split out
for legacy, split the necessary operations
for that into a new struct iwl_legacy_ops.
Those parts that still exist in the new AGN
code don't need to be parametrized.
