Add basic tracing infrastructure support to ath6kl and which can be
enabled with CONFIG_ATH6KL_TRACING.

Re-initialize the target when fw crash is reported.
This would make the device functional again after
target crash. During the target re-initialization
it is made sure that target is not bugged with data/cmd
request, ar->state ATH6KL_STATE_RECOVERY is used
for this purpose.

In preparation for adding HTC pipe implementation add htc-ops.h to make
it possible dynamically choose which HTC type is used.
Needed for full USB support.
Based on the code by Ray Chen <raychen@qca.qualcomm.com>.

John Linville had to revert the part of USB support which was already
in ath6kl due to build problems in commit cb00ec382b ("ath6kl: revert
USB support"). Now that I fixed the build problems properly by adding
ath6kl_core.ko kernel module it's possible to add back the
(incomplete) USB support. This patch is a revert of John's patch and
adds back the USB code which as already in ath6kl, only difference
being minor changes in Makefile and adapting usb.c to new core
function names.
Note that USB support in ath6kl is not complete yet. This code only
makes it possible to boot firmware but as HTC layer does not yet
support USB it's not possible to send any WMI commands nor data
packets to the firmware. That will be added soon.

Now ath6kl is ready for splitting core code to ath6kl_core.ko module.
This also makes it possible to link both sdio and usb code to kernel
at the same time, which earlier failed miserably.

Currently core functions are spread between various files, group all
the functions into file and rename the functions to follow the style
used elsewhere in the driver. This will make it easier to a separate core
module.
Also fix a bug where wiphy is freed too early.

As drivers/net/wireless/ath/Makefile contains the flag to enable
endian checks there's no need to have it in ath6kl makefile anymore.

The ath6kl driver is causing build failures when the ath6kl bits are
not built as modules. A better fix is forthcoming in a future release,
but for now lets revert the problematic code.
This reverts the following commits:

Now two modules are built, ath6kl_sdio.ko and ath6kl_usb.ko. But the USB
module isn't fully functional yet as HTC layer is missing support and
that's why it's marked as experimental for now.

Now that the scan results are reported directly to the cfg80211 BSS
table there is no need for maintaining this internal node table
implementation for scan results. Remove the definitions and node
table functions.

This is port from the staging version of ath6kl. The interface to user space
is exactly same.

Last May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which is
currently in staging. The work has happened in a separate
ath6kl-cleanup tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summary
After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would
like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless
trees and replacing the staging driver.
The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.
The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49
kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107
to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26
to zero :)
There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we
decided to omit for now:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31:
WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527:
WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms;
see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt
The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific
structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have
any big endian hardware to test that right now.
We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The
code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.
Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:
o HCI over SDIO support
o nl80211 testmode
o firmware logging
o suspend support
Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI
over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to
share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research
more.
Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.
As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I
decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16
and sle32, especially from wmi.h.
Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall of
fame based on number of patches is:
