Now run(4) fetches parameters from ic->ic_wme.wme_params array, which is never initialized
(and can be safely removed). This patch replaces &ic->ic_wme.wme_params with
&ic->ic_wme.wme_chanParams.cap_wmeParams (contains parameters for local station;
used by other drivers with WME support).
Tested:
* me: STA: run0: MAC/BBP RT5390 (rev 0x0502), RF RT5370 (MIMO 1T1R), address 38:83:45:11:78:ae
Now device will use retry limit, which is set via 'ifconfig <interface>
maxretry <number>'.

* Tested on WUSB54GC, STA mode.

The fullmac firmware doesn't seem to populate a useful rssi indicator
in the RX descriptor, so if one plotted said values, they'd basically
look like garbage.
The reference driver implements a "get current rssi" firmware command
which I guess is really meant for station operation only (as hostap
operation would need rssi per station, not a single firmware read.)
So:
* populate sc_currssi during each calibration run;
* use this in the RX path instead of trying to reconstruct the RSSI
value and passing it around as a pointer;
* do up a quick hack to map the rssi hardware value to some useful
signal level;
* the survey results provide an RSSI value between 0..100, so just
do another quick hack to map it into some usefulish signal level;
* supply a faked noise floor - I haven't yet found how to pull it
out of the firmware.
The scan results and the station RSSI information is now more useful
for indicating signal strength / distance.
This logic is mostly crimed from the reference driver and the linux
r92su driver.
I verified that it (a) worked on the rsu hardware I have, and (b)
did traffic testing whilst watching what ath(4) sent as a hostap.
It successfully sent MCS8..15 rates (which requires 2-stream reception)
as well as MCS0..7 (which is 1-stream.)
Tested:
* RTL8712, 1T1R NIC, MCS rates 0..7.
* RTL8712, 1T2R NIC, MCS rates 0..15
TODO:
* Find a 2T2R NIC!
* include opt_wlan.h like a good little wlan driver;
* add a function to free the mbufq /and/ the node references on it, or we will leak
said node references;
* free the mbufq upon NIC shutdown otherwise we may end up with a full list that
we never begin transmit work on, and thus never drain it;
* .. which frees it upon NIC detach too;
* ensure urtwn_start() gets called after the completion of frame TX even if the
pending queue is empty, otherwise transmit will stall. It's highly unlikely that
the usb tx queue would be empty whilst the incoming send queue is full, but hey,
who knows.
This passes some iperf testing with and without the NIC being actively removed during
said active iperf test.
Tested:
* urtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188EU, RF 6052 1T1R ; STA mode
in the join message so the firmware would pick it up.
* Strip out the direct hardware fiddling for 40MHz mode - the firmware
we're using doesn't require it (the rtl8712su firmware does; it
is less 'fullmac' than what we're using.)
* Fix the mbuf handling during errors - rsu_tx shouldn't free mbufs;
it's up to the caller to do so. This brings it in line with
what other drivers do or should be doing.
Tested:
* RTL8712, HT40 channel, STA mode (during this commit)
* Add a new method to control NIC poweron / network-sleep / power off;
* Add in A-MPDU TX negotiation support, but comment it out because it
does break TX traffic;
* blank out the tx buffer before sending a firmware message, just in case;
* go into network-sleep once associated;
TODO:
* figure out why ampdu negotiation isn't working and breaking TX traffic,
then enable it.
to do it directly.
Ensure that we re-queue starting transmit upon TX completion.
This solves two issues:
* It stops tx stalls - before this, if the transmit path filled the
mbuf queue then it'd never start another transmit.
* It enforces ordering - this is very required for 802.11n which
requires frames to be transmitted in the order they're queued.
Since everything remotely involved in USB has an unlock/thing/relock
pattern with that mutex, the only way to guarantee TX ordering is
to 100% defer it into a separate thread.
This now survives an iperf test and gets a reliable 30mbit/sec.
Correctly (I hope!) remove net80211 references before doing so.
Just doing a dumb mbufq drain isn't enough.
If enough traffic occurs and the mbuf queue fills up then transmit
stalls (which I'm not fixing in this commit!) but then the mbuf queue
stays full until the driver is removed. There's also the net80211
node refcounting leak.
This just ensures that during rsu_stop and detach the mbuf queue
is purged (and references!) so the queue-full situation can be
recovered from.
setup pieces and so (at least) transmit doesn't work.
It'll just fall back to being a straight HT20 device and negotiate
HT20 only.

requirements.
Don't start the opmode and join path until a pending survey is finished.
This seems to reliably fix things.
Ideally I'd just finish off the net80211 pluggable scan stuff and implement
the methods here so if_rsu can just drive the scan machinery.
However, that's a .. later thing.
Whilst here, remove the getbuf debugging; it's okay to run out of transmit
buffers under load; it however isn't okay to not be able to send commands.
I'll fix that later.
