51e708c104 mwifiex: avoid double list_del in command cancel path
Command cancel path cancels the current command and moves
it to free command queue. While doing that it deletes the
command entry from the pending list. This is not correct
as the entry has been already deleted from the pending
list at 'mwifiex_exec_next_cmd'. Fixing it.

Also making sure the stale command pointer is cleaned and
unaccessible for later use.

fada10584d mwifiex: fix association issue with AP configured in hidden SSID mode
Firmware expects 'max_ssid_length' field in
'struct mwifiex_ie_types_wildcard_ssid_params' to be '0' for
performing SSID specific scan. Currently driver updates it with
an actual SSID length. Hence UUT is not able to find the AP
configured in hidden SSID mode in scan results and association
fails.

max_ssid_length is filled with '0' to fix the issue.

db652e4b36 net, wireless, mwifiex: Fix mem leak in mwifiex_update_curr_bss_params()

efaaa8b841 mwifiex: use separate wait condition for each command node
Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition)
is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads
enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the
threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is
same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response
of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command
response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd
command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last
command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver
command time out is seen for INIT command.

This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for
each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated
differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag
(scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.

d85c5fe462 mwifiex: correct AMSDU aggregation check
The commit "mwifiex: remove list traversal.."(fcf2176c87..)
wrongly modifies AMSDU aggregation check. Due to this even though
packet size for iperf traffic is already large, we unnecessarily
try to aggregate them which adds some delay. If Tx iperf is started
on UUT for 30 seconds, UUT keeps sending Tx packets for few more
seconds.

That commit is reverted to fix the problem.
Also, MIN_NUM_AMSDU check is moved inside the loop to optimize the
loop.

5116f3cef2 mwifiex: update bss band information
In recent commit "mwifiex: use cfg80211 dynamic scan..."
(7c6fa2a843..) scan table handling in driver is removed to
make use of cfg80211 dynamic scan table. Now driver sends
beacon buffers found in scanning directly to stack and parse
the buffer for requested BSS only during association.

Beacon buffer doesn't contain bss band information. Driver
gets it from firmware in separate tlv (chan_band_tlv).
Currently since we don't inform stack about bss bandinfo,
there is an issue with 5GHz association.

Use "priv" field of struct cfg80211_bss to store bandinfo.
This fixes 5GHz association issue.

Sometimes association in 5GHz doesn't work. Dmesg log shows
"Can not find requested SSID xyz" error message. Currently
while preparing scan channel list for firmware Null entries
are created for disabled channels. The routine which retrieves
this list ignores channels after Null entry. Hence sometimes
driver doesn't scan the channel of requested AP and association
fails. The issue is fixed by avoiding those NULL entries.

e156103cee mwifiex: 4-byte alignment in mwifiex_process_sta_txpd()
In XMIT path, the skb that we get from the kernel itself is not
aligned with 4-byte boundary on some embedded platforms.

Had it not been the presence of tx_pkt_offset field in txpd, 4 byte
memory alignment was not possible without memmove of entire skb.
And that would have increased MIPS instead of reducing.

With this patch few memory cycles can be saved while fetching
interface header and txpd structure because of 4 bytes memory
alignment.

a5e5aa6cee mwifiex: restore handling of NULL parameters
Prior to a5ffddb70c5cab "mwifiex: remove casts of void pointers" the
code assumed that the data_buf parameter could be a NULL pointer.
The patch preserved some NULL checks but not consistently, so there
was a potential for NULL dereferences and it changed the behavior.
This patch restores the original behavior.

a5ffddb70c mwifiex: remove casts of void pointers
In some cases local pointers are used to cast void pointers passed to
the function. Those unnecessary local pointers are also removed.

This patch was inspired by Joe Perches' patch
[PATCH net-next 1/2] wireless: Remove casts of void *;
and the comments from Julian Calaby.

a7b21165c0 mwifiex: Fixing NULL pointer dereference
Following OOPS was seen when booting with card inserted

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000004c
 IP: [<f8b7718c>] cfg80211_get_drvinfo+0x21/0x115 [cfg80211]
 *pde = 00000000
 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
 Modules linked in: iwl3945 iwl_legacy mwifiex_sdio mac80211 11 sdhci_pci sdhci pl2303

'ethtool' on the mwifiex device returned this OOPS as
wiphy_dev() returned NULL.

Adding missing set_wiphy_dev() call to fix the problem.

287546df34 mwifiex: get rid of global adapter pointer
1) Avoid global adapter pointer usage
   a) in sdio.c by moving some code from mwifiex_cleanup_module() to
      mwifiex_sdio_remove().
   b) in main.c by passing an extra parameter to few functions.
2) Add new variable "user_rmmod" to identify if mwifiex_sdio_remove()
   callback function is called in card removal or rmmod context. These
   code changes are adapted from Libertas driver.
3) Remove unnecessary NULL pointer check for "func" pointer in
   mwifiex_sdio_remove().

36cb7cce23 mwifiex: disable transmission buffer aggregation for AMSDU packets
Padding per MSDU will affect the length of next packet and hence
the exact length of next packet is uncertain here.

Also, aggregation of transmission buffer, while downloading the
data to the card, wont gain much on the AMSDU packets as the AMSDU
packets utilizes the transmission buffer space to the maximum
(adapter->tx_buf_size).

fb3c19bc96 mwifiex: adding check for enough space before padding
All MSDUs, except the last one in an AMSDU, should end up at 4
bytes boundary. There is need to check if enough skb_tailroom
space exists before padding the skb.

Also re-arranging code for better readablity.
