lindev(4) was only used to provide /dev/full which is now a standard feature of
FreeBSD. /dev/full was never linux-specific and provides a generally useful
feature.
Document this in UPDATING and bump __FreeBSD_version. This will be documented
in the PH shortly.

The hardware can generate its own frames (eg RTS/CTS exchanges, other
kinds of 802.11 management stuff, especially when it comes to 802.11n)
and these also have PWRMGT flags. So if the VAP is asleep but the
NIC is in force-awake for some reason, ensure that the self-generated
frames have PWRMGT set to 1.
Now, this (like basically everything to do with powersave) is still
racy - the only way to guarantee that it's all actually consistent
is to pause transmit and let it finish before transitioning the VAP
to sleep, but this at least gets the basic method of tracking and
updating the state debugged.
Tested:
* AR5416, STA mode
* AR9380, STA mode
fixes and beacon programming / debugging into the ath(4) driver.
The basic power save tracking:
* Add some new code to track the current desired powersave state; and
* Add some reference count tracking so we know when the NIC is awake; then
* Add code in all the points where we're about to touch the hardware and
push it to force-wake.
Then, how things are moved into power save:
* Only move into network-sleep during a RUN->SLEEP transition;
* Force wake the hardware up everywhere that we're about to touch
the hardware.
The net80211 stack takes care of doing RUN<->SLEEP<->(other) state
transitions so we don't have to do it in the driver.
Next, when to wake things up:
* In short - everywhere we touch the hardware.
* The hardware will take care of staying awake if things are queued
in the transmit queue(s); it'll then transit down to sleep if
there's nothing left. This way we don't have to track the
software / hardware transmit queue(s) and keep the hardware
awake for those.
Then, some transmit path fixes that aren't related but useful:
* Force EAPOL frames to go out at the lowest rate. This improves
reliability during the encryption handshake after 802.11
negotiation.
Next, some reset path fixes!
* Fix the overlap between reset and transmit pause so we don't
transmit frames during a reset.
* Some noisy environments will end up taking a lot longer to reset
than normal, so extend the reset period and drop the raise the
reset interval to be more realistic and give the hardware some
time to finish calibration.
* Skip calibration during the reset path. Tsk!
Then, beacon fixes in station mode!
* Add a _lot_ more debugging in the station beacon reset path.
This is all quite fluid right now.
* Modify the STA beacon programming code to try and take
the TU gap between desired TSF and the target TU into
account. (Lifted from QCA.)

from the self generated state change.

This fires off an interrupt if the TSF from the AP / IBSS peer is
wildly out of range. I'll add some code to the ath(4) driver soon
which makes use of this.

#gpio-cells property.
Add a new ofw_bus method (OFW_BUS_MAP_GPIOS()) that allows the GPIO
controller to implement its own mapping to deal with gpio-specifiers,
allowing the decoding of gpio-specifiers to be controller specific.
The default ofw_bus_map_gpios() decodes the linux standard (#gpio-cells =
<2>) and the FreeBSD standard (#gpio-cells = <3>).
It pass the gpio-specifier flag field to the children as an ivar variable so
they can act upon.
define a few imx_ccm_foo() functions that are implemented by the imx51 or
imx6 ccm code. Of course, the imx6 ccm code is still more a wish than
reality, so for now its implementations just return hard-coded numbers.
a jtag debugging product, which was used on early Beaglebone boards (later
boards used a standard FTDI 2232C product ID). Change the name accordingly,
and also add an entry for XDS100V3, the latest version of that product
which has its own new product ID number.
Device type and revision is now determined from the bcdDevice field and
doesn't need to be in the table at all. The feature that skips creation
of /dev/ttyU* entries for jtag and gpio interfaces is enhanced:
- The feature is now optional, but enabled by default. A tunable and
sysctl are available to control it: hw.usb.uftdi.skip_jtag_interfaces.
- We no longer assume interface #0 is the only jtag interface. Up to
eight interfaces per chip can be flagged as jtag. (Current ftdi chips
support a max of 4 interfaces; this leaves room for growth.)
- Some manufacturers don't change the product ID or use the same ID for
different devices intended for both serial-comms and jtag/gpio use.
Often while the product ID is the same, the product name string is
different, so it's now possible to search for the product name in a
table of strings and get the set of non-tty interfaces from that table.
- Add a comment about FTDI and ZLPs.
- Correctly check odditiy of baud rate divisor.
- Correct IOCTL handling for "error" and "event" char.

concurrent updates from any completing transmits in other threads.
This was exposed when doing power save work - net80211 is constantly
doing reassociations and it's causing the rate control state to get
blanked out. This could cause the rate control code to assert.
This should be MFCed to stable/10 as it's a stability fix.

The MAC filter set may be called without softc_lock held in the case of
SIOCADDMULTI and SIOCDELMULTI ioctls. The ioctl handler checks IFF_DRV_RUNNING
flag which implies port started, but it is not guaranteed to remain.
softc_lock shared lock can't be held in the case of these ioctls processing,
since it results in failure where kernel complains that non-sleepable
lock is held in sleeping thread.
Both problems are repeatable on LAG with LACP proto bring up.

The existing cleanup code was based on the Atheros reference driver
from way back and stuff that was in Linux ath9k. It turned out to be ..
rather silly.
Specifically:
* The whole method of determining whether there's hardware-queued frames
was fragile and the BAW would never quite work right afterwards.
* The cleanup path wouldn't correctly pull apart aggregate frames in the
queue, so frames would not be freed and the BAW wouldn't be correctly
updated.
So to implement this:
* Pull the aggregate frames apart correctly and handle each separately;
* Make the atid->incomp counter just track the number of hardware queued
frames rather than try to figure it out from the BAW;
* Modify the aggregate completion path to handle it as a single frame
(atid->incomp tracks the one frame now, not the subframes) and
remove the frames from the BAW before completing them as normal frames;
* Make sure bf->bf_next is NULled out correctly;
* Make both aggregate session and non-aggregate path frames now be
handled via the incompletion path.
TODO:
* kill atid->incomp; the driver tracks the hardware queued frames
for each TID and so we can just use that.
This is a stability fix that should be merged back to stable/10.
