passing it to firmware for all Gen3 controllers.
For Thunderbolt controller, keep the legacy behavior i.e. return the SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command with success status from driver itself.
There is Sysctl parameter 'block_sync_cache' is provided to enable customers either to block/unblock these commands to facilitate
legacy behavior if there is a compatibility issue. Default value for module parameter is to unblock this command.

If a SCSI IO times out, then before initiating OCR, now the driver will try to send a
target reset to the particular target for which the IO is timed out. If that also fails,
then the driver will initiate OCR.

MFI linked list in megaraid_sas driver is used for mfi-mpt pass-through commands.
This list can be corrupted due to many possible race conditions in driver and
eventually we may see kernel panic.
One example -
MFI frame is freed from calling process as driver send command via polling method and interrupt
for that command comes after driver free mfi frame (actually even after some other context reuse
the mfi frame). When driver receive MPT frame in ISR, driver will be using the index of MFI and
access that MFI frame and finally in-used MFI frames list will be corrupted.
High level description of new solution -
Free MFI and MPT command from same context.
Free both the command either from process (from where mfi-mpt pass-through was called) or from
ISR context. Do not split freeing of MFI and MPT, because it creates the race condition which
will do MFI/MPT list.

Clear the interrupt state before reading the input char from the
input FIFO. In the current code there is a window between the read
to the data register and the write to the the ICR, during which an
input char will not cause an interrupt.
This fixes the issue by which the serial port input on QEMU freezes
when using the emulated pl011 serial port.
This adds a workaround to incorrectly behaving APs (ie, FreeBSD APs) which
don't beacon out exactly when they should (at TBTT multiples of beacon
intervals.)
It forces the hardware awake (but leaves it in network-sleep so self
generated frames still state that the hardware is asleep!) and will
remain awake until the next sleep transition driven by net80211.
That way if the beacons are just at the wrong interval, we get a much
better chance of hearing more consecutive beacons before we go to sleep,
thus not constantly disconnecting.
Tested:
* AR9485, STA mode, against a misbehaving FreeBSD AP.
The 802.11-2012 spec talks about this - section 10.1.3.2 - Beacon Generation
in Infrastructure Networks. So yes, we should be expecting beacons to be
going out in multiples of intval.
Silly adrian.
So:
* fix the FreeBSD APs that are sending beacons at incorrect TBTTs (target
beacon transmit time); and
* yes indeed we will have to wake up out of network sleep until we sync
a beacon.
ASMedia ASM1062 AHCI chips with some fancy firmware handling PMP inside
seems sometimes forgeting to set bits in PxIS, causing command timeouts.
Removal of this check fixes the issue by the theoretical cost of slightly
higher CPU usage in some odd cases, but this is what Linux does too.

This was being done in the pre-AR9380 case, but not for AR9380 and later.
When powersave in STA mode is enabled, this may have lead to the transmit
completion code doing this:
* call the task, which doesn't wake up the hardware
* complete the frames, which doesn't touch the hardware
* schedule pending frames on the hardware queue, which DOES touch the
hardware, and this will be ignored
This would show up in the logs like this:
(with debugging enabled):
Nov 27 23:03:56 lovelace kernel: Q1[ 0] (nseg=1) (DS.V:0xfffffe011bd57300 DS.P:0x49b57300) I: 168cc117 L:00000000 F:0005
...
(in general, doesn't require debugging enabled):
Nov 27 23:03:56 lovelace kernel: ath_hal_reg_write: reg=0x00000804, val=0x49b57300, pm=2
That register is a EDMA TX FIFO register (queue 1), and the val is the descriptor
being written.
Whilst here, make sure the software queue gets kicked here.

* AR9485, STA mode + powersave

This bug has been bugging me for quite some time. I finally sat down
with enough coffee to figure it out.
The short of it - rounding up to the next intval multiple of the TSF value
only works if the AP is transmitting all its beacons on an interval of
the TSF. If it isn't - for example, doing staggered beacons on a multi-VAP
setup with a single hardware TSF - then weird things occur.
The long of it -
When powersave is enabled, the MAC and PHY are partially powered off.
They can't receive any packets (or transmit, for that matter.)
The target beacon timer programming will wake up the MAC/PHY just before
the beacon is supposed to be received (well, strictly speaking, at DTIM
so it can see the TIM - traffic information map - telling the STA whether
any traffic is there for it) and it happens automatically.
However, this relies on the target beacon time being programmed correctly.
If it isn't then the hardware will wake up and not hear any beacons -
and then it'll be asleep for said beacons. After enough of this, net80211
will give up and assume the AP went away.
This should fix both TSFOOR interrupts and disconnects from APs with powersave
enabled.
The annoying bit is that it only happens if APs stagger things or start
on a non-zero TSF. So, this would sometimes be fine and sometimes not be
fine.
What:
* I don't know (yet) why the code rounds up to the next intval.
For now, just disable rounding it and trust the value we get.
TODO:
* If we do see a beacon miss in STA mode then we should transition
out of sleep for a while so we can hear beacons to resync against.
I'd love a patch from someone to enable that particular behaviour.
Note - that doesn't require that net80211 brings the chip out of
sleep state - only that we wake the chip up through to full-on and
then let it go to sleep again when we've seen a beacon. The wifi
stack and AP can still completely just stay believing we're in sleep
mode.

* AR9485, STA mode, powersave enabled

- Set IEEE80211_FEXT_SCAN_OFFLOAD flag; firmware can send null data
frames when associated.
- Check IEEE80211_SCAN_ACTIVE scan flag instead of IEEE80211_F_ASCAN
ic flag; the last is never set since r170530.
- Eliminate software scan (net80211) <-> site_survey (driver) race:
* override ic_scan_curchan and ic_scan_mindwell pointers so net80211
will not try to finish scanning automatically;
* inform net80211 about current status via ieee80211_cancel_scan()
and ieee80211_scan_done();
* remove corresponding workaround from rsu_join_bss().
Now the driver can associate to an AP with hidden SSID.
Tested with Asus USB-N10.
- Defined an abstract NVRAM I/O API (bhnd_nvram_io), decoupling NVRAM/SPROM
parsing from the actual underlying NVRAM data provider (e.g. CFE firmware
devices).
- Defined an abstract NVRAM data API (bhnd_nvram_data), decoupling
higher-level NVRAM operations (indexed lookup, data conversion, etc) from
the underlying NVRAM file format parsing/serialization.
- Implemented a new high-level bhnd_nvram_store API, providing indexed
variable lookup, pending write tracking, etc on top of an arbitrary
bhnd_nvram_data instance.
- Migrated all bhnd(4) NVRAM device drivers to the common bhnd_nvram_store
API.
- Implemented a common bhnd_nvram_val API for parsing/encoding NVRAM
variable values, including applying format-specific behavior when
converting to/from the NVRAM string representations.
- Dropped the now unnecessary bhnd_nvram driver, and moved the
broadcom/mips-specific CFE NVRAM driver out into sys/mips/broadcom.
- Implemented a new nvram_map file format:
- Variable definitions are now defined separately from the SPROM
layout. This will also allow us to define CIS tuple NVRAM
mappings referencing the common NVRAM variable definitions.
- Variables can now be defined within arbitrary named groups.
- Textual descriptions and help information can be defined inline
for both variables and variable groups.
- Implemented a new, compact encoding of SPROM image layout
offsets.
- Source-level (but not build system) support for building the NVRAM file
format APIs (bhnd_nvram_io, bhnd_nvram_data, bhnd_nvram_store) as a
userspace library.
The new compact SPROM image layout encoding is loosely modeled on Apple
dyld compressed LINKEDIT symbol binding opcodes; it provides a compact
state-machine encoding of the mapping between NVRAM variables and the SPROM
image offset, mask, and shift instructions necessary to decode or encode
the SPROM variable data.
The compact encoding reduces the size of the generated SPROM layout data
from roughly 60KB to 3KB. The sequential nature SPROM layout opcode tables
also simplify iteration of the SPROM variables, as it's no longer
neccessary to iterate the full NVRAM variable definition table, but
instead simply scan the SPROM revision's layout opcode table.
