As described at
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/86084
libertas is taking a long time to load because it loads firmware
during module loading.
Add a new API for interface drivers to load their firmware
asynchronously. The same semantics of the firmware table are followed
like before.
Interface drivers will be converted in follow-up patches, then we can
remove the old, synchronous firmware loading function.

These simple sanity check avoids extra complexity in error paths when
moving to asynchronous firmware loading (which means the device may fail to
init some time after its creation).

Remove the ability to pass module parameters with firmware filenames
for USB and SDIO interfaces.
Remove the ability to pass custom "user" filenames to lbs_get_firmware().
Remove the ability to reprogram internal device memory with a different
firmware from the USB driver (we don't know of any users), and simplify
the OLPC firmware loading quirk to simply placing the OLPC firmware
at the top of the list (we don't know of any users other than OLPC).
Move lbs_get_firmware() into its own file.
These simplifications should have no real-life effect but make the
upcoming transition to asynchronous firmware loading considerably less
painful.

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.
Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().
This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:
<smpl>
@ open @

libertas provides a dump_survey implementation based on reading of
a RSSI value. However, this RSSI value is calculated based on the
last received beacon from the associated AP - it is not a good
way of surveying a channel in general, and even causes an error
if the card is not associated to a network.
As this is not appropriate as a survey, remove it. This fixes an
issue where something in userspace is repeatedly calling site-survey
during boot, resulting in many repeated errors as the RSSI value cannot
be read before associating.

While I've not found a smoking gun, there are two places that raised red flags
for me. The first is in _internal_start_scan, when we queue up a scan; we
first queue the worker, and then set priv->scan_req. There's theoretically
a 50mS delay which should be plenty, but doing things that way just seems
racy (and not in the good way).
The second is in the scan worker thread itself. Depending on the state of
priv->scan_channel, we cancel pending scan runs and then requeue a run in
300mS. We then send the scan command down to the hardware, sleep, and if
we get scan results for all the desired channels, we set priv->scan_req to
NULL. However, it that's happened in less than 300mS, what happens with
the pending scan run?
This patch addresses both of those concerns. With the patch applied, we
have not seen the oops in the past two weeks.

In ancient times it was necessary to manually initialize the bus field of an

so we can drop the manual assignment.

This converts the drivers in drivers/net/* to use the
module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.
Added bonus is that it removes some unneeded kernel log messages about
drivers loading and/or unloading.

Commit 2e30168b ("libertas: terminate scan when stopping interface")
adds cleanup code to lbs_eth_stop to call cfg80211_scan_done if there's
an outstanding cfg80211_scan_request. However, it assumes that the
scan request was allocated via the cfg80211 stack. Libertas has
its own internal allocation method, kept track of with
priv->internal_scan. This doesn't set scan_req->wiphy, amongst other
things, which results in hitting a BUG() when we call cfg80211_scan_done
on the request.
This provides a function to take care of the low-level scan_req cleanup
details. We simply call that to deal with finishing up scan requests.
The bug we were hitting was:

Recent patches added support for resetting the SD8686 hardware when
commands time out, which seems to happen quite frequently soon after
resuming the system from a Wake-on-WLAN-triggered resume.
At http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10969 we see the same thing happen
with transmits. In this case, the hardware will fail to respond to
a frame passed for transmission, and libertas (correctly) will block
all further commands and transmissions as the hardware can only
deal with one thing at a time. This results in a lockup while the
system waits indefinitely for the dead card to respond.
Hook up a TX lockup timer to detect this and reset the hardware.

When scanning for the broadcast SSID, there is no need to add the
SSID TLV (restoring the behaviour of the driver behaviour in the wext
days, confirmed in Marvell specifications).
If bssid is unspecified, the current scan code will usually fire off an
active scan probing for the specific requested SSID. However, if a scan
is ongoing (or has just finished), those scan results will be used
instead (even if that scan is totally different, e.g. a passive scan on
channel 4 for a different SSID). Fix this inconsistency by always
firing off a scan when associating without a bssid.

Normally, the v9 firmware will be loaded if it's available. However, on
OLPC XO-1 machines, the olpc-specific firmware supports extra functionality.
This makes the libertas driver attempt to load the custom firmware first
if the machine is an OLPC machine; if that fails (or it's not an OLPC
machine), fall back to attempting to load the other firmwares.
usb8388_olpc.bin is currently found in the linux-firmware repository.

Modify the driver so that it does not function when the interface is
down, in preparation for runtime power management.
No commands can be run while the interface is down, so the ndo_dev_stop
routine now directly does all necessary work (including asking the device
to disconnect from the network and disabling multicast functionality)
directly.
power_save and power_restore hooks are added meaning that card drivers
can take steps to turn the device off when the interface is down.
The MAC address can now only be changed when all interfaces are down;
the new address will be programmed when an interface gets brought up.
This matches mac80211 behaviour.
Also, some small cleanups/simplifications were made in the surrounding
device handling logic.

OLPC power management code has recently gone upstream. This piece
completes the puzzle for libertas_usb, which now programs the OLPC EC
for wlan wakeups when they have been requested.

Currently, "udevadm info -a -p /sys/class/net/wlan0" doesn't mention
the usb8xxx or libertas driver anywhere. This makes writing udev rules
a bit uncomfortable.
Using the USB interface as the parent device corrects the hierarchy.
