The mac80211 changes to idle almost immediately after transmitting some
frames, such as deauth etc. When going to idle, the wl1271 is disconnected,
which causes TX frames already on buffers, but not yet transmitted, to be
deleted.
To make sure deauth frames reach the air, allow the TX buffers to flush
before proceeding to idle.

This patch modifies tx-queue flushing to correspond with tx-path - i.e.
also frames for which no ack was requested are forwarded to the mac80211
for disposal.

Currently the mac80211 is not telling a hardware rate controlled driver a
rate to use for association frames etc. So to be safe, use the lowest rate
of each band for communication.

The driver tx-queue flush operation leaks broadcast-frames. This leak occurs
if the driver is shut down while there are frames in TX buffers (such as in
a firmware crash scenario.) Fix the leak.

This patch uses a higher precision timer to synchronize with the firmware
clock. Improved precision is needed as on some platforms a jiffy may be up to
tens of milliseconds, and the required precision is closer to TU's.

- Fix a TX result overflow problem that was present in the TX path and visible
with at least linksys AP's (probably any AP with high throughput capability.)
- Optimize TX by writing FW trigger for a group of TX frames instead of
each and every frame.
- Slightly optimize the TX path code.

We were not handling endianess correctly. The wl1271 chip runs on
little-endian values. This patch makes sure that all the communication with
the wl1271 firmware is done in little-endian by using cpu_to_le* and
le*_to_cpu where appropriate.
Also, all the struct definitions for data exchanged with the firmware has
been changed to use __le16/32 types instead of u16/32.
This fixes a few sparse warnings, such as these:

This driver supports the wl1271 chipset from Texas Instruments based on the
WiLink(tm) 6.0 mobile platform. Support for wl1273 should be relatively easy
to add. This chipset is designed for embedded devices, with good powersaving
capabilities. The wl1271 chipset is the successor of wl1251 and supports the
802.11b/g/n standards, but currently this driver supports only b/g.
