We read TX_STATUS1 to acknowledge a TX interrupt. We don't use this
value for anything, so mark it as unused. We may be able to eliminate
this read, but since this hardware is poorly documented and difficult to
test, I'm leaving the read in place.

bbp_atten is write-only: we don't use it later in
bwi_rf_calc_nrssi_slope_11b. However, we may also be able to eliminate
the read of this value from the device. However, The documationation for
this hardware is thing and I can't test this card so I've left the read
of this register in case it's required.

This dumper can instantiate and write the dump's contents to a
file-backed vnode.
Unlike existing disk or network dumpers, the vnode dumper should not be
invoked during a system panic, and therefore is not added to the global
dumper_configs list. Instead, the vnode dumper is constructed ad-hoc
when a live dump is requested using the new ioctl on /dev/mem. This is
similar in spirit to a kgdb session against the live system via
/dev/mem.
As described briefly in the mem(4) man page, live dumps are not
guaranteed to result in a usuable output file, but offer some debugging
value where forcefully panicing a system to dump its memory is not
desirable/feasible.
A future change to savecore(8) will add an option to save a live dump.

firmware in shutdown
If controller reset is in progress, at same time if system shutdown is
issued then corresponding shutdown function in driver will be invoked
where driver is waiting 15 seconds to complete the controller reset.
If the reset is not complteted within that time frame driver will go
ahead and fire cache flush and shutdown DCMDs which will end up
accessing the the queues which are not initialized due to undergoing
reset leads to FMU error in firmware.
Fix:
In shutdown function, if controller reset is not finished within 15
seconds than driver will return to the OS without firing any DCMDs.

There is an additional MPT command allocation for R1 fp command which
will lead to MPT command unavailablity in case of rigorous R1 FP IOs.
Remove additional MPT command allocation for R1 FP.
