FDT overlays is de-facto standard for describing expansion boards like
Beaglebone capes or Raspberry Pi shields. The ides is to have basic
DTB for base board and overlays DTB for shields/capes and to construct
final DTB either using human-readable configuration or some
self-discovery mechanism. I believe this approach can also be expanded
to support dynamically loadable FPGA bitstreams on systems like
Zedboard/Zybo.
Overlaying process is simmilar to executable link process for
binaries: each DTB has "exported" symbols and "undefined" symbols, the
latter are resolved using information for the former obtained from
base DTB or one of the overlays applied earlier (more rare case).
This symbols information is not generated by standard dtc that FreeBSD
has in base system, patched[1] version required to produces
overlay-compatible blobs. So although DTB files generated by
buildkernel do not support overlays there are enough
vendor/community-provided DTB blobs ciruclating around to justify
committing this change to ubldr.
This commit introduces handler for "fdt_overlays" variable that can be
defined either as a loader env variable or U-Boot env variable.
fdt_overlays is comma-separated list of .dtbo files located in
/boot/dtb/ directory along with base .dtb. ubldr loads files and
applies them one-by-one to base .dtb and then passes result blob to
the kernel.

clear vd->vdev_tsd in vdev_geom_close_locked instead of vdev_geom_detach.
In the latter function, it would fail to happen in certain circumstances
where cp->private was unset. Ideally, the latter should never happen, but
it can happen when vdev open fails, or where spares are involved.

This change adds few methods for net80211 channel table setup:
- ieee80211_add_channel()
- ieee80211_add_channel_ht40()
(primarily for drivers, that parse EEPROM to get channel list -
they will allow to hide implementation details).
- ieee80211_add_channel_list_2ghz()
- ieee80211_add_channel_list_5ghz()
(mostly as a replacement for ieee80211_init_channels() - they will allow
to specify non-default channel list; may be used in ic_getradiocaps()).
Tested with wpi(4) (add_channel) and rum(4) (add_channel_list_2ghz).

* Build and install the subr_unit test as a plain test
sys/kern/subr_unit.c
* Reduce the default number of repetitions from 100 to 1, and add a
command-line parser to override it.
* Don't be so noisy by default

Split ADC driver in two halves: ADC(analog ot digital) and
TSC(touchscreen). Touchscreen driver is fully functional
up to the point of reporting samples. This part will be added
once FreeBSD has API for touchscreen.

I .. can't believe I missed this.
This showed up because the AP was TX'ing LDPC to an iwm(4) chipset,
which didn't advertise LDPC and doesn't /accept/ LDPC. Amusingly, all
the two other FreeBSD 11n parts I had tested with (AR9380, Intel 7260)
and I completely forgot to test on ye olde hardware.
That'll teach me.
Tested:
* AR9580 (AP) - Intel 7260 (STA), AR9380 (STA), Intel 6205 (STA)
This is a follow-up to r298789, which removed the B_DIRTY and B_PERSISTENT
flags. This changeset removes them from the associated %b bit description
string as well.

Move checks for provider's sectorsize and mediasize into a single
location in vdev_geom_attach. Remove the zfs::vdev::taste class;
it's ok to use the regular vdev class for tasting. Consolidate guid
checks into a single location in vdev_attach_ok. Consolidate some
error handling code from vdev_geom_attach into vdev_geom_detach,
closing a resource leak of geom consumers in the process.

LDPC adds better transmit reliability if both ends support it.
You in theory can do both STBC and LDPC at the same time.
If I see issues I'll disable it.
* Only enable it if both ends of a connection negotiate it.
* Disable it if any rate is non-11n.
* Count both LDPC TX and STBC TX.
Tested:
* AR9380, STA mode
We don't have a separate bss node; instead we dup the first node we saw
and turn that into the BSS node. This means that action frames from
that node would be rejected.
So, check that the node is the bss node /and/ the MAC doesn't match ni_macaddr.
That's the "right" way for now to verify it's an unknown node.
This fixes handling action frames in adhoc mode, which includes negotiating
11n aggregation via ADDBA/DELBA.
This by itself isn't enough to correctly create 11n adhoc networks; but
it is required for aggregation to be negotiated.
Tested:
* AR9380, 11n adhoc mode
* broadcom 11ac adhoc (vendor platform)
