Add support for IPv4 ARP filtering in the driver. This will dramatically reduce the number of unnecessary interrupts by the device in conqested networks. This patch is based on a similar patch to wl1251 by Janne Ylälehto. Cc: Janne Ylälehto <janne.ylalehto@nokia.com> Signed-off-by:

Fixed checking of status of the received packet. On wl1251 status is in the flags field of the descriptor, on wl1271 there is a separate status field. Signed-off-by:

This switches the iwlwifi driver to use paged skb from linear skb for Rx buffer. So that it relieves some Rx buffer allocation pressure for the memory subsystem. Currently iwlwifi (4K for 3945) requests 8K bytes for Rx buffer. Due to the trailing skb_shared_info in the skb->data, alloc_skb() will do the next order allocation, which is 16K bytes. This is suboptimal and more likely to fail when the system is under memory usage pressure. Switching to paged Rx skb lets us allocate the RXB directly by alloc_pages(), so that only order 1 allocation is required. It also adjusts the area spin_lock (with IRQ disabled) protected in the tasklet because tasklet guarentees to run only on one CPU and the new unprotected code can be preempted by the IRQ handler. This saves us from spawning another workqueue to make skb_linearize/__pskb_pull_tail happy (which cannot be called in hard irq context). Finally, mac80211 doesn't support paged Rx yet. So we linearize the skb for all the management frames and software decryption or defragmentation required data frames before handed to mac80211. For all the other frames, we __pskb_pull_tail 64 bytes in the linear area of the skb for mac80211 to handle them properly. Signed-off-by:

We were using the join command to change some settings when the stack asked us to do it. In many cases they were not needed (and could cause potential problems), so they were removed. In other cases there are ACX commands that can be used instead of using join to reconfigure. Signed-off-by:

We shouldn't use a join command to change the filter settings while associated. The right way to do it is to use ACX_RX_CFG. Signed-off-by:

With the change to the new firmware, there was a change to firmware memory partitioning. Along with that change, the translation of all partitions was unified, and separate functions for reg and mem access became unnecessary. Cleanup the unnecessary functions. Signed-off-by:

We don't get any indication from the stack when we have disassociated. In wl1271, it is important to send a CMD_DISCONNECT before joining again, because the firmware cleans some things up. So we check if we're already joined and disconnect if that's the case. Signed-off-by:

Channel switch host command has different data structure for different devices. Adding additional structures to support 5000 and 6000 NICs. unlike 4965, starting with 5000 series, the tx power is managed by uCode, there is no tx power db information need to be passing from driver to uCode; but the space needs to be reserved to match uCode expection. 1000 NIC do not support channel switch operation since it is 'bgn' device, there is no need to have data structure defined for it.
