- Alignment issues:
* Add missing __packed attributes + padding across all drivers; in
most places there was an assumption that padding will be always
minimally suitable; in few places - e.g., in urtw(4) / rtwn(4) -
padding was just missing.
* Add __aligned(8) attribute for all Rx radiotap headers since they can
contain 64-bit TSF timestamp; it cannot appear in Tx radiotap headers, so
just drop the attribute here. Refresh ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page
accordingly.
- Since net80211 automatically updates channel frequency / flags in
ieee80211_radiotap_chan_change() drop duplicate setup for these fields
in drivers.
Tested with Netgear WG111 v3 (urtw(4)), STA mode.

- Fix data frames transmission via POWER_STATUS register setup -
it seems to be set by MACID_CONFIG firmware command, which was broken*
in r290439 and later disabled in r307529.
We can re-enable it later if / when firmware rate adaptation will be
ready; however, this step will be required anyway - for firmware-less
builds.
- Force RTS / CTS protection frame rate to CCK1 (this rate works fine
without any additional setup; no better workaround is known yet).
The problem was not observed on the channel 1 or with CCK1 rate enforced
('ifconfig wlan0 ucastrate 1' for 11 b/g; not possible for 11n networks
due to ifconfig(8) bug).
* I'm not sure if it works before r290439 because - AFAIR - I never seen
firmware rate adaptation working for 10-STABLE urtwn(4)
(It needs EN_BCN bit set and RSSI updates at least).
Tested with RTL8188CUS in STA mode

Wrap ieee80211_add_channel_list_2ghz into another function
which supplies default (1-14) channel list to it and drop
its copies from drivers.
Checked with RTL8188EE, country US / JP / KR / UA.

Replace in-place implementation with system-wide one; since it
guarantees non-zero result drop all less-than-one checks from
drivers and net80211.

Rate tables have this bit set to indicate minimal set of basic rates;
however, it overlappes with MCS bit, so rate2ridx() will treat them as
an 11n rate.
Due to the current rates setup the issue can be reproduced only
in 5GHz band with 11n / protection enabled.
Tested with RTL8821AU, HOSTAP mode.

The code is similar to the one for RTL8188E* and probably
should be shared with RTL8188CE (needs to be tested).
Checked with RTL8188CUS, STA mode.

Add macros for R12A_RXDMA_PRO register (descriptions were seen in the
RTL8822B vendor driver) and merge 2 r21au_init_burstlen() copies.
No functional change intended.
This removes the direct WME info access in the ieee80211com struct and instead
provides a method of fetching the data. Right now it's a no-op but eventually
it'll turn into a per-VAP method for drivers that support it (eg iwn, iwm,
upcoming ath10k work) as things like p2p support require this kind of behaviour.
Tested:
* ath(4), STA and AP mode
TODO:
* yes, this is slightly stack size-y, but it is an important first step
to get drivers migrated over to a sensible WME API. A lot of per-phy things
need to be converted to per-VAP before P2P, 11ac firmware, etc stuff shows up.
Tx power values can easily fit into uint8_t + only 8 bits are written
to registers; values may overflow only in case if ROM contains
malformed data (but limit is checked anyway).
Tested with RTL8188CUS, dev.rtwn.1.debug=0x2000 (no changes).
Since device can pass multiple frames in a single payload temporary
Rx buffer was big enough to hold all of them; now the driver can
concatenate a single frame from multiple payloads.
The Rx buffer size may be configured via tunable (dev.rtwn.%d.rx_buf_size).
Tested with:
- rtl8188cus, rtl8188eu and rtl8821au (STA mode).
- (by kevlo) rtl8192cu and rtl8188eu.

Remove any chipset specific usage of Rx descriptor structure / bits
from common code to prevent misuse of fields that may differ
between various chipsets.
Checked with: RTL8821AU in STA mode.
for the rtl8188eu chipset
- Rename struct r92c_rom member names: s/channel_plan/reserved5/,
s/xtal_calib/channel_plan to be compliant with definitions of the efuse
in vendor hal_pg.h
sc_set_media_status() callback may involve some generic code in addition to
firmware-specific part (e.g., link status register setup for RTL8188E);
so, remove 'RTWN_WITHOUT_UCODE' ifdefs around it.
Tested with RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU, STA mode.
Omit unused rates while initializing / dumping Tx power values.
They were not accessed anywhere (except for debugging), so this is
(mostly) no-op.
Tested with
* RTL8188EU, STA mode.
* RTL8812AU, STA mode.
