580bdac386 ath9k: Remove 'stations' debugfs file
The 'stations' debugfs file has multiple issues. It doesn't scale
to an arbitrary number of associated stations and allocating
64K is not elegant either. Now that changes have been made in
mac80211 to support dynamic creation/deletion of driver-specific
debugfs files on station addition/removal, remove this file and
make use of the mac80211 hooks (which will be done in a sebsequent
patch).

78ef731ce5 ath9k: Fix the 'xmit' debugfs file
The 'xmit' debugfs file has become big and unwieldy, fix
multiple issues with its usage:

* Store TX counters/statistics only for the 4 Access Categories.
  Use IEEE80211_NUM_ACS instead of ATH9K_NUM_TX_QUEUES.

* Move various utility macros to debug.h, they can be reused
  elsewhere.

* Remove tx_complete_poll_work_seen.

* Remove code that accesses various internal queue-specific
  variables without any locking whatsoever. HW/SW queue details
  will be handled in a subsequent patch.

* Do not print internal values like txq_headidx and txq_headidx.
  They were mostly unused anyway, considering code like:
  PRX("txq_tailidx:     ", txq_headidx);

* Handle 'txprocdesc' for EDMA too.

2884561a64 ath9k: stomp audio profiles on weak signal strength
On lower WLAN signal strength, WLAN downlink traffic might suffer
from retransmissions. At the mean time, playing SCO/A2DP profiles
is affecting WLAN stability. In such scenario, by stomping SCO/A2DP
BT traffic completely for a BTCOEX period, gives WLAN traffic an
oppertunity to recover PHY rate. It also improves WLAN stability at
lower RSSI without sacificing BT traffic.

However the netchannel protocol deals only in PAGE_SIZE frames.

Handle this in xennet_make_frags by iterating over the frames which

John W. Linville says:

====================
This is a batch of fixes intended for 3.7...

Included are two pulls.  Regarding the mac80211 tree, Johannes says:

"Please pull my mac80211.git tree (see below) to get two more fixes for
3.7. Both fix regressions introduced *before* this cycle that weren't
noticed until now, one for IBSS not cleaning up properly and the other
to add back the "wireless" sysfs directory for Fedora's startup scripts."

Regarding the iwlwifi tree, Johannes says:

"Please also pull my iwlwifi.git tree, I have two fixes: one to remove a
spurious warning that can actually trigger in legitimate situations, and
the other to fix a regression from when monitor mode was changed to use
the "sniffer" firmware mode."

Also included is an nfc tree pull.  Samuel says:

"We mostly have pn533 fixes here, 2 memory leaks and an early unlocking fix.
Moreover, we also have an LLCP adapter linked list insertion fix."

On top of that, a few more bits...  Albert Pool adds a USB ID
to rtlwifi.  Bing Zhao provides two mwifiex fixes -- one to fix
a system hang during a command timeout, and the other to properly
report a suspend error to the MMC core.  Finally, Sujith Manoharan
fixes a thinko that would trigger an ath9k hang during device reset.

Now that the Armada 370/XP platform has gained proper integration with
the clock framework, we add clk support in the Marvell Armada 370/XP
Ethernet driver.

Since the existing Device Tree binding that exposes a
'clock-frequency' property has never been exposed in any stable kernel
release, we take the freedom of removing this property to replace it
with the standard 'clocks' clock pointer property.

The Device Tree binding documentation is updated accordingly.

nextrxd() is calling txd(), which means that the tx descriptor count is
used to determine when to wrap for determining the next ring buffer
entry. This has worked so far since the driver has been using the same
number of rx and tx descriptors, but it's obviously going to be a
problem if different numbers of descriptors are used.

e041f65d5f brcmsmac: Remove internal tx queue
The brcmsmac internal tx buffering is problematic. The amount of
buffering is excessive (228 packets in addition to the 256 slots in each
DMA ring), and frames may be dropped due to a lack of flow control.

This patch reworks the transmit code path to remove the internal
buffering. Frames are immediately handed off to the DMA support rather
than passing through an intermediate queue. Non-aggregate frames are
queued immediately into the tx rings, and aggregate frames are queued
temporarily in an AMPDU session until ready for transmit.

Transmit flow control is also added to avoid dropping packets when the
tx rings are full. Conceptually this is a separate change, but it's
included in this commit because removing the tx queue without adding
flow control could cause significant problems.

32d0f12a16 brcmsmac: Use IEEE 802.11 AC levels for pktq precedence levels
The mac80211 tx queues and brcmsmac DMA fifos both map directly to AC
levels. Therefore it's much more straightforward to queue tx frames and
choose the tx fifo based on the mac80211 queue instead of mapping 802.1D
priority tags to precedence levels then back to AC levels. mac80211
already maps the 802.1D levels to the appropriate AC levels and queues
management frames at the maximum priority, so the results should be
identical.

One functional change resulting from this patch is that AMPDU retries no
longer get a priority boost to queue them ahead of packets with the same
priority already in the tx queue. This behavior will be restored (in
effect at least) in a later patch when the tx queue is removed.

7f2de08fc0 brcmsmac: Remove unimplemented flow control functions
Functions for flow control exist but remain unimplemented. Remove these
in advance of adding real flow control.
