* the tx descriptor TID is priority, not TID.
* the tx descriptor queue id mapping is separate from the
TID/priority; rather than just "BE".
TODO:
* go and re-re-re-verify the queue mappings; the linux and openbsd
mappings aren't exactly the same. I need to verify all of this
before I try to flip on 11n RX.
* Do 1T1R for now, until we read the config out of ROM and use it.
* Disable turbo mode, I dunno what this is, but the linux drivers
have this disabled.
* Set the firmware endpoints to what we read from USB.
Tested:
* RTL8712 cut 3, STA mode
data queues.
This is similar to the openbsd and rtlwifi/r92su drivers.
Note: this driver still assumes it's a 4-endpoint device; I'll enforce
that in a follow-up commit.
There is an issue with interrupts at the moment, but it works with
polling mode set (hw.usb.xhci.use_polling=1).

This allows for arbitrary channel info to be placed in the input call rather
than the totally gross hack of overriding ic_curchan.
Without this I'm sure ic_curchan setting was racing with the scan code
setting the channel itself..
The firmware in this NIC sends management frames. So far I'm not sure which
ones it handles and which ones it doesn't handle - but this is what openbsd
does.
The association messages are handled by the firmware; the key negotiation
for 802.1x and WPA are done as raw frames, not management frames.
This successfully allows it to associate to my home networks whereas it didn't
work beforehand.
Tested:
* RTL8712, cut 3, STA mode
TODO:
* The firmware does send a join response with a status code; that should be
logged in a more obvious way to assist with debugging. Ie, the firmware
is the thing that is saying "couldn't join, sorry!", not net80211.
* yes, when a "sta disconnect" message comes through we should, like,
disconnect things. We're not currently generating beacon miss messages,
and net80211 isn't disconnecting things via software beacon miss receive.
Tested:
* RTL8712, cut 3, STA mode
* use an ath/iwn style debug bitmap - it's still global rather than per-device,
but it's better than debug levels
* disable bgscan - it just makes things unstable/unpredictable for now.
Tested:
* if_rsu - RTL8712 cut 3, STA mode
connectivity interact with the net80211 stack.
Historical background: originally wireless devices created an interface,
just like Ethernet devices do. Name of an interface matched the name of
the driver that created. Later, wlan(4) layer was introduced, and the
wlanX interfaces become the actual interface, leaving original ones as
"a parent interface" of wlanX. Kernelwise, the KPI between net80211 layer
and a driver became a mix of methods that pass a pointer to struct ifnet
as identifier and methods that pass pointer to struct ieee80211com. From
user point of view, the parent interface just hangs on in the ifconfig
list, and user can't do anything useful with it.
Now, the struct ifnet goes away. The struct ieee80211com is the only
KPI between a device driver and net80211. Details:
- The struct ieee80211com is embedded into drivers softc.
- Packets are sent via new ic_transmit method, which is very much like
the previous if_transmit.
- Bringing parent up/down is done via new ic_parent method, which notifies
driver about any changes: number of wlan(4) interfaces, number of them
in promisc or allmulti state.
- Device specific ioctls (if any) are received on new ic_ioctl method.
- Packets/errors accounting are done by the stack. In certain cases, when
driver experiences errors and can not attribute them to any specific
interface, driver updates ic_oerrors or ic_ierrors counters.
Details on interface configuration with new world order:
- A sequence of commands needed to bring up wireless DOESN"T change.
- /etc/rc.conf parameters DON'T change.
- List of devices that can be used to create wlan(4) interfaces is
now provided by net.wlan.devices sysctl.
Most drivers in this change were converted by me, except of wpi(4),
that was done by Andriy Voskoboinyk. Big thanks to Kevin Lo for testing
changes to at least 8 drivers. Thanks to pluknet@, Oliver Hartmann,

like RPI-B and RPI-2.
Description of problem:
USB transfers can process data in their callbacks sometimes causing
unacceptable latency for other USB transfers. Separate BULK completion
callbacks from CONTROL, INTERRUPT and ISOCHRONOUS callbacks, and give
BULK completion callbacks lesser execution priority than the
others. This way USB audio won't be interfered by heavy USB ethernet
usage for example.
Further serve USB transfer completion in a round robin fashion,
instead of only serving the most CPU hungry. This has been done by
adding a third flag to USB transfer queue structure which keeps track
of looping callbacks. The "command" callback function then decides
what to do when looping.

Still, drivers: ndis, wtap, mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt, uath were not
tested. Changes to mwl, ipw, bwn, wi, upgt are trivial and chances
of problems are low. The wtap wasn't compilable even before this change.
But the ndis driver is complex, and it is likely to be broken with this
commit. Help with testing and debugging it is appreciated.

The ftdi chip itself has a "get bitmode" command that doesn't actually
return the current bitmode, just a snapshot of the gpio lines. The chip
apparently has no way to provide the current bitmode.
This implements the functionality at the driver level. The driver starts
out assuming the chip is in UART mode (which it will be, coming out of
reset) and keeps track of every successful set-bitmode operation so that
it can always return the current mode with UFTDIIOC_GET_BITMODE.
Remove NAKing limit and pause IN and OUT transactions for 125us in
case of NAK response for BULK and CONTROL endpoints. This gets the
receive latency down and improves USB network throughput at the cost
of some CPU usage.

xhci_start_controller() to xhci_init(). These values don't change at run-
time so there's no point of acquiring them on every USB_HW_POWER_RESUME

couple of registers in question already had been moved as a prerequisite
for the changes in that revision.

variant of Microsoft RNDIS, i. e. their unofficial version of CDC ACM,
has been disabled in r261544 for resolving a conflict with umodem(4).
Eventually, in r275790 that problem was dealt with in the right way.
However, r275790 failed to put probing of RNDIS devices in question
back.
- Initialize the device prior to querying it, as required by the RNDIS
specification. Otherwise already determining the MAC address may fail
rightfully.
- On detach, halt the device again.
- Use UCDC_SEND_ENCAPSULATED_{COMMAND,RESPONSE}. While these macros are
resolving to the same values as UR_{CLEAR_FEATURE,GET_STATUS}, the
former set is way more appropriate in this context.
- Report unknown - rather: unimplemented - events unconditionally and
not just in debug mode. This ensures that we'll get some hint of what
is going wrong instead of the driver silently failing.
- Deal with the Microsoft ActiveSync requirement of using an input buffer
the size of the expected reply or larger - except for variably sized
replies - when querying a device.
- Fix some pointless NULL checks, style bugs etc.
This changes allow urndis(4) to communicate with a Microsoft-certified
USB RNDIS test token.
