7329012e67 wimax/i6x50: add Intel WiFi/WiMAX Link 6050 Series support
Add support for the WiMAX device in the Intel WiFi/WiMAX Link 6050
Series; this involves:

 - adding the device ID to bind to and an endpoint mapping for the
   driver to use.

 - at probe() time, some things are set depending on the device id:

   + the list of firmware names to try

   + mapping of endpoints

923d708fed wimax/i2400m: fix reboot echo/ack barker deadlock
The i2400m based devices can get in a sort of a deadlock some times;
when they boot, they send a reboot "barker" (a magic number) and then
the driver has to echo that same barker to ack reception
(echo/ack). Then the device does a final ack by sending an ACK barker.

The first time this happens, we don't know ahead of time with barker
the device is going to send, as different device models and SKUs will
send different barker depending on the EEPROM programming.

If the device has sent the barker before the driver has been able to
read it, the driver looses, as it doesn't know which barker it has to
echo/ack back. With older devices, we tried a couple of combinations
and that always worked; but now, with adding support for more, in
which we have an unlimited number of new barkers, that is not an
option.

So we rework said case so that when the device gets stuck, we just
cycle through all the known types until one forces the device to send
an ack. Otherwise, the driver gives up and aborts.

32742e6158 wimax/i2400m: decide properly if using signed vs non-signed firmware loading
The i2400m based devices can boot two main types of firmware images:
signed and non-signed. Signed images have signature data included that
must match that of a certificate stored in the device.

Currently the code is making the decission on what type of firmware
load (signed vs non-signed) is going to be loaded based on a hardcoded
decission in __i2400m_ack_verify(), based on the barker the device
sent upon boot.

This is not flexible enough as future hardware will emit more barkers;
thus the bit has to be set in a place where there is better knowledge
of what is going on. This will be done in follow-up commits -- however
this patch paves the way for it.

So the querying of the mode is packed into i2400m_boot_is_signed();
the main changes are just using i2400m_boot_is_signed() to determine
the method to follow and setting i2400m->sboot in
i2400m_is_boot_barker(). The modifications in i2400m_dnload_init() and
i2400m_dnload_finalize() are just reorganizing the order of the if
blocks and thus look larger than they really are.

4c2b1a1164 wimax: allow specifying debug levels as command line option
Add "debug" module options to all the wimax modules (including
drivers) so that the debug levels can be set upon kernel boot or
module load time.

This is needed as currently there was a limitation where the debug
levels could only be set when a device was succesfully
enumerated. This made it difficult to debug issues that made a device
not probe properly.

8593a1967f wimax/i2400m: rename misleading I2400M_PL_PAD to I2400M_PL_ALIGN
The constant is being use as an alignment factor, not as a padding
factor; made reading/reviewing the code quite confusing.

c747583d19 wimax/i2400m: implement RX reorder support
Allow the device to give the driver RX data with reorder information.

When that is done, the device will indicate the driver if a packet has
to be held in a (sorted) queue. It will also tell the driver when held
packets have to be released to the OS.

This is done to improve the WiMAX-protocol level retransmission
support when missing frames are detected.

The code docs provide details about the implementation.

In general, this just hooks into the RX path in rx.c; if a packet with
the reorder bit in the RX header is detected, the reorder information
in the header is extracted and one of the four main reorder operations
are executed. In one case (queue) no packet will be delivered to the
networking stack, just queued, whereas in the others (reset, update_ws
and queue_update_ws), queued packet might be delivered depending on
the window start for the specific queue.

The modifications to files other than rx.c are:

- control.c: during device initialization, enable reordering support
  if the rx_reorder_disabled module parameter is not enabled

- driver.c: expose a rx_reorder_disable module parameter and call
  i2400m_rx_setup/release() to initialize/shutdown RX reorder
  support.

- i2400m.h: introduce members in 'struct i2400m' needed for
  implementing reorder support.

- linux/i2400m.h: introduce TLVs, commands and constant definitions
  related to RX reorder

Last but not least, the rx reorder code includes an small circular log
where the last N reorder operations are recorded to be displayed in
case of inconsistency. Otherwise diagnosing issues would be almost
impossible.

fd5c565c0c wimax/i2400m: support extended data RX protocol (no need to reallocate skbs)
Newer i2400m firmwares (>= v1.4) extend the data RX protocol so that
each packet has a 16 byte header. This header is mainly used to
implement host reordeing (which is addressed in later commits).

However, this header also allows us to overwrite it (once data has
been extracted) with an Ethernet header and deliver to the networking
stack without having to reallocate the skb (as it happened in fw <=
v1.3) to make room for it.

- control.c: indicate the device [dev_initialize()] that the driver
  wants to use the extended data RX protocol. Also involves adding the
  definition of the needed data types in include/linux/wimax/i2400m.h.

- rx.c: handle the new payload type for the extended RX data
  protocol. Prepares the skb for delivery to
  netdev.c:i2400m_net_erx().

- netdev.c: Introduce i2400m_net_erx() that adds the fake ethernet
  address to a prepared skb and delivers it to the networking
  stack.

- cleanup: in most instances in rx.c, the variable 'single' was
  renamed to 'single_last' for it better conveys its meaning.

8987691a4a wimax/i2400m: allow control of the base-station idle mode timeout
For power saving reasons, WiMAX links can be put in idle mode while
connected after a certain time of the link not being used for tx or
rx. In this mode, the device pages the base-station regularly and when
data is ready to be transmitted, the link is revived.

This patch allows the user to control the time the device has to be
idle before it decides to go to idle mode from a sysfs
interace.

It also updates the initialization code to acknowledge the module
variable 'idle_mode_disabled' when the firmware is a newer version
(upcoming 1.4 vs 2.6.29's v1.3).

The method for setting the idle mode timeout in the older firmwares is
much more limited and can be only done at initialization time. Thus,
the sysfs file will return -ENOSYS on older ones.

ea24652d25 i2400m: host/device procotol and core driver definitions
The wimax/i2400m.h defines the structures and constants for the
host-device protocols:

 - boot / firmware upload protocol

 - general data transport protocol

 - control protocol

It is done in such a way that can also be used verbatim by user space.

drivers/net/wimax/i2400m.h defines all the APIs used by the core,
bus-generic driver (i2400m) and the bus specific drivers
(i2400m-BUSNAME). It also gives a roadmap to the driver
implementation.

debug-levels.h adds the core driver's debug settings.

ea912f4e7f wimax: debug macros and debug settings for the WiMAX stack
This file contains a simple debug framework that is used in the stack;
it allows the debug level to be controlled at compile-time (so the
debug code is optimized out) and at run-time (for what wasn't compiled
out).

This is eventually going to be moved to use dynamic_printk(). Just
need to find time to do it.
