After commit 174beab7d445 ("at76c50x-usb: Don't perform DMA from stack memory")
at76_delete_device() and usb_put_dev() are called both
if at76_init_new_device() fails in at76_probe().
But at76_delete_device() does usb_put_dev(priv->dev) itself
that means double usb_put_dev().

The patch avoids the problem by moving usb_put_dev() from
at76_delete_device() to at76_disconnect().

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

Some drivers (such as iwlmvm) can handle multiple bands in a single
HW scan request. Add a HW flag to indicate that the driver support
this. To hold the required data, create a separate structure for
HW scan request that holds cfg scan request and data about
different parts of the scan IEs.

As this changes the mac80211 API, update all drivers using it to
use the correct new function type/argument.

since commit 3afc2167f60a327a2c1e1e2600ef209a3c2b75b7 scan in not
working anymore, due to mac80211 requires rx frequency status
information.

This patch makes the driver report this information.

While NOT scanning this is straightforward.
While scanning the firmware performs RF sweep and we cannot track
the actual tuning frequency, so this is guessed by parsing beacons
and probe responses.
This should be enough for ensuring functionality.

Currently the driver uses HW encryption.
Whenever mac80211 calls the set_key() callback the driver restarts the
whole HW configuration procedure, in order to set (also) the new
WEP key.
However, by doing this, it causes the card to loose association information,
and the HW becomes unable to communicate with the BSS.

This patch adds support for sending another HW command, that sets only
the wep key, instead of resetting all.
Mac80211 key-set requests are thus handled via this new command.

Tested on my at76c503

Loading the driver with DMA debugging enabled makes the kernel to complain
about the ehci driver trying to perform DMA from memory from the stack.

[ 9848.229514] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 627 at lib/dma-debug.c:1153 check_for_stack+0xa4/0xf0()

This is due to at76c50x-usb driver passing buffers allocated on the stack to
the USB layer, that attempts DMA. This occurs is several places.

This patch fixes the problem by allocating those buffers via kmalloc.

Since this adds some kfree() before leaving a couple of functions, I caught the
occasion to clean-up the exit path on error.

e1f12eb6ba6f1e74007eb01ed26fad7c5239d62b 23-Apr-2012 Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@linux.intel.com> USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.

Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices. Comms
devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
data transfer.

If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
receiving data. Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
middle of receiving a transmission.

The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host. In order to keep
the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
same in Linux.

Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
drivers. I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

This is a cut and paste mistake, sizeof(struct mib_local) was intended
instead of sizeof(struct mib_phy). The call to at76_get_mib() uses
sizeof(struct mib_local) correctly, although I changed that to
sizeof(*m) for style reasons after discussion with some of the wireless
maintainers.

The current code works fine because mib_phy structs are larger than
mib_local structs. But we may as well clean it up.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).

Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.

Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.

The driver at76c50x-usb is unable to authenticate with an AP since
kernel 2.6.31 for the following reason: The join command of the firmware
needs to be sent with the right bssid before any transmission can start.
Before kernel 2.6.31 mac80211 informed its drivers about the changing
bssid early enough for at76c50x-usb but during the development of 2.6.31
mac80211's behaviour changed. Now a new bssid is set after the
association.

This patch changes the tx routine of the driver at76c50x-usb in such a
way that a new bssid is extracted from an authentication frame and the
join command with that bssid is processed.

For my Linksys WUSB11 at76c503-i3861 device, scanning fails without
probe_delay, min_channel_time, and max_channel_time specified for the
scan request. These values were found by checking scan requests from
the at76_usb driver.

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.

A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.

We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:

* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()

These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.

Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

This driver only uses the mac80211 workqueue and mac80211 requires us to
cancel all work at driver stop. Since we now have the cancels in the right
places at stop() we really don't need to flush the mac80211 workqueue so
remove it.

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13312

at76_dwork_hw_scan holds a mutex while calling ieee80211_scan_completed,
which then calls at76_config which needs the same mutex. This reworks
the ordering to not hold the lock while calling ieee80211_scan_completed.

Additional attempts to fix Oops on disconnect, that appear to be successful.
However, some may be extraneous.

The cancel_delayed_work call is probably the most necessary. The
device_unplugged check may not be necessary. del_timer_sync may not
be necessary either, but the Oops I was receiving was related to
timers. Hence the addition.
