This patch adds the feature to support the test mode operation through
the generic netlink channel NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE between intel
wireless device iwlwifi and the user space application svtool.
The main purpose is to create a transportation layer between the iwlwifi
device and the user space application so that the interaction between the
user space application svtool and the iwlwifi device in the kernel space is
in a way of generic netlink messaging.
The detail specific functions are:
1. The function iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to digest the svtool test command
from the user space application. The svtool test commands are categorized to
three types : commands to be processed by the device ucode, commands to access
the registers, and commands to be processed at the driver level(such as reload
the ucode). iwl_testmode_cmd() dispatches the commands the corresponding handlers
and reply to user space regarding the command execution status. Extra data is
returned to the user space application if there's any.
2. The function iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is added to multicast all the spontaneous
messages from the iwlwifi device to the user space. Regardless the message types,
whenever there is a valid spontaneous message received by the iwlwifi ISR,
iwl_testmode_ucode_rx_pkt() is invoked to multicast the message content to user
space. The message content is not attacked and the message parsing is left to
the user space application.
Implementation guidelines:
1. The generic netlink messaging for iwliwif test mode is through NL80211_CMD_TESTMODE
channel, therefore, the codes need to follow the regulations set by cfg80211.ko
to get the actual device instance ieee80211_ops via cfg80211.ko, so that the iwlwifi
device is indicated with ieee80211_ops and can be actually accessed.
Therefore, a callback iwl_testmode_cmd() is added to the structure
iwlagn_hw_ops in iwl-agn.c.
2. It intends to utilize those low level device access APIs from iwlwifi device driver
(ie. iwlagn.ko) rather than creating it's own set of device access functions.
For example, iwl_send_cmd(), iwl_read32(), iwl_write8(), and iwl_write32() are reused.
3. The main functions are maintained in new files instead of spreading all over the
existing iwlwifi driver files.
The new files added are :
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-sv-open.c
- to handle the user space test mode application command
and reply the respective command status to the user space application.
- to multicast the spontaneous messages from device to user space.
drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-testmode.h
- the commonly referenced definitions for the TLVs used in
the generic netlink messages

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.

There are a few cases like the WoWLAN support
I'm writing that require attempting to access
the NIC when it is known that it might not be
accessible, e.g. after the system woke up and
the platform might have reset the device.
To avoid messages in this case, introduce the
new function iwl_grab_nic_access_silent(), it

If a device error happens while the uCode is
being loaded or initialised, we will attempt
to restart the device (which will likely fail
again, but that's not the issue here). During
this new restart, we turn off the device, but
as the uCode failed to initialise it already
is turned off. As a consequence, grabbing NIC
access will fail and cause excessive messages
and hangs.
To fix this issue, introduce a new status bit
and only attempt to reprogram the device when
it isn't already disabled.

The tx_headroom required for mwl8k driver is 32 bytes and it
can use the space for 802.11 header received from mac80211.
mwl8k considers the smallest 802.11 frame (CTS2self of 10
bytes) that can be received from mac80211 to compute the
extra_tx_headroom as 22 (32 - 10) bytes.
When the wireless interface is part of bridge, this
extra_tx_headroom requirement results in a memcpy in
mac80211 (in function pskb_expand_head) for all the data
frames needing L2 forwarding/bridging, when NET_SKB_PAD is
defined as 32. This patch reduces the extra_tx_headroom by
8 bytes so that memcpy of data frames in mac80211 is
avoided in this case.
The resize will be required in driver for frames with 802.11
header size of less than 18 bytes.

To fix introduce additional CMD_MAPPED to mark command as mapped and
serialize iwl_enqueue_hcmd() with iwl_tx_cmd_complete() using
hcmd_lock. Serialization will also fix possible race conditions,
because q->read_ptr, q->write_ptr are modified/used in parallel.

iwlwifi: do not set tx power when channel is changing
we set device tx power during initialization to priv->tx_power_next,
which itself is initialized to minimum power. That changed
default behaviour of driver. Previously we initialized device to
transmit at maximum available power by default. Patch change again
to previous behaviour and cleanup tx power initialization.
Fortunately this is not critical fix, as mac80211 layer setup
tx power lately to 14dB, hence device does not operate at minimal
transmit power all the time.
