- instead of calling iwn_plcp_signal() for every frame, map the expected
value directly within wn->ridx
- concat plcp, rflags and xrflags, there is no clean byte boundary within
the flags, for example the antenna setting uses bit 6, 7 and 8

On legacy channels every once in a while the firmware throws a SYSASSERT

aware of any workaround currently.
- If a ENH_SENS TLV section exit the firmware is capable of doing
enhanced sensitivity calibration.
- Newer devices/firmwares have more calibration commands therefore
hardcoding the noise gain/reset commands no longer works. It is
supposed to use the next index after the newest calibration type
support. Read the command index of the TLV section if available.
- 6000 series devices need enhanced sensitivity calibration.
- 6000 series devices need a different setting for the shadow reg.
- set the IWN_FLAG_HAS_11N bit if the EEPROM says the device has 11n
support.

ieee80211_chan2ieee() does return an ic_ieee as an int, but I heavily

- Do not call iwn_calib_reset() for monitor mode. We do not want to query
information and do runtime calibration while in monitor mode. Poking the
firmware with adjustments for calibration results in firmware asserts.
This could happened on RUN -> RUN transition only.

the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag set, default to NONE for all drivers. Only if
a driver calls ieee80211_ratectl_init() check if the NONE algo is still
selected and try to use AMRR in that case. Drivers are still free to use
any other algo by calling ieee80211_ratectl_set() prior to the
ieee80211_ratectl_init() call.
After this change it is now safe to assume that a ratectl algo is always
available and selected, which renders the IEEE80211_C_RATECTL flag pretty
much useless. Therefore revert r211314 and 211546.

This framework allows drivers to abstract the rate control algorithm and
just feed the framework with the usable parameters. The rate control
framework will now deal with passing the parameters to the selected
algorithm. Right now we have AMRR (the default) and RSSADAPT but there's
no way to select one with ifconfig, yet.
The objective is to have more rate control algorithms in the net80211
stack so all drivers[0] can use it. Ideally, we'll have the well-known
sample rate control algorithm in the net80211 at some point so all
drivers can use it (not just ath).
[0] all drivers that do rate control in software, that is.

sleepable context for net80211 driver callbacks. This removes the need for USB
and firmware based drivers to roll their own code to defer the chip programming
for state changes, scan requests, channel changes and mcast/promisc updates.
When a driver callback completes the hardware state is now guaranteed to have
been updated and is in sync with net80211 layer.
This nukes around 1300 lines of code from the wireless device drivers making
them more readable and less race prone.
The net80211 layer has been updated as follows
- all state/channel changes are serialised on the taskqueue.
- ieee80211_new_state() always queues and can now be called from any context
- scanning runs from a single taskq function and executes to completion. driver
callbacks are synchronous so the channel, phy mode and rx filters are
guaranteed to be set in hardware before probe request frames are
transmitted.
