I don't yet know which RX descriptor bits map to shortgi, long-gi,
short-preamble, long-preamble, STBC, LDPC, HT40, etc - so I can't
easily add those just yet.
There's apparently no per-frame RX RSSI information exposed so we
also just use the results from the previous calibration task.
This also tidies up how the per-mbuf RSSI is pushed into the frame -
now that it's attached to the mbuf via rx_stats, we don't have to
do any silly hijinx to get it out of the frame processing path.

- Do not ignore initialization errors; call ieee80211_stop()
when initialization failed.
- Use usb_pause_mtx() instead of DELAY() while waiting for firmware
loading; this fixes system freeze during firmware startup.
- Do not execute rsu_stop() when device is powered off; fixes
'unknown board type (rfconfig=0xff)' error when the device is
reattached.
Tested with Asus USB-N10.
- Replace all remaining DPRINTF(N)'s with RSU_DPRINTF.
- Add new RSU_DEBUG_USB flag to track error codes returned by
usbd_do_request_flags().
- Improve few messages.
- Add partial promiscuous mode support (no management frames;
they cannot be received by the firmware and net80211 at the same time).
- Add monitor mode support (all frames).
Tested with Asus, USB-N10.
This is required for USB Rx aggregation
(and fixes 'could not allocate RX mbuf' / few other failures).
While here, reduce the number of Rx buffers from 100 to 1 -
the driver never uses more than one Rx buffer.

values. This more closely matches other wifi drivers in the tree.
The bitmap levels have been based closely on other drivers (primarily
[u]rtwn(4)) in the hope that one day these can be unified into a shared
wifi-debug framework.
This is the first step of several pieces of work I'm planning on doing
with the run(4) driver. I may well adjust and refine some of the debug
bitmaps at a later date.

This change includes firmware commands for key setup +
some additional checking via CAMREAD / CAMWRITE registers.
Nothing (except rsu_delete_key() for pairwise keys) is deferred;
to ensure that things are done in order rsu_set_key() will wait
until key deletion task will be finished.
Tested with Asus USB-N10 (all ciphers).
Differences from initial (reviewed) patch:
- Pause AC queues before disassociation - since CMD_DISCONNECT clears
crypto state all pending frames must be processed / dropped before it.
- Check sc_running flag before trying to set static keys.
- Clear key index from bitmap even when firmware command fails
(it will be invalidated via CAMWRITE anyway).

- Append RCR_APP_PHYSTS bit after firmware loading - otherwise
firmware will reset the register and this modification will be lost.
(without it Rx PHY descriptor section will contain garbage).
- Check if R92S_RXDW0_PHYST bit is set (like it is done in rtwn(4)) -
even if infosz is non-zero the section may not contain anything useful.
- In case, if descriptor is absent (A-MPDU?) use last calibrated RSSI
(rtwn(4) uses RSSI from the previous (sub)frame; probably, this
approach should be used here too).

- Fill in Rx radiotap header correctly (for every packet in a chain;
not once per chain).
- Fix rate / flags fields in Rx radiotap.

- Check IEEE80211_SCAN_ACTIVE scan flag instead of IEEE80211_F_ASCAN

- Eliminate software scan (net80211) <-> site_survey (driver) race:
* override ic_scan_curchan and ic_scan_mindwell pointers so net80211
will not try to finish scanning automatically;
* inform net80211 about current status via ieee80211_cancel_scan()

There are a variety of more interesting RX statistics that we should
keep track of but we don't. This is a starting point for adding more
information.
Specifically:
* now the RX rate information and some of the packet status is
passed up;
* The 32 bit or 64 bit TSF is passed up;
* the PHY mode is passed up;
* the "I'm decap'ed AMSDU!" state is passed up;
* number of RX chains is bumped to 4.
This is all mostly a placeholder for getting the data into the RX status
before we pass it up to net80211 - unfortunately we don't yet enforce
that drivers provide it, nor do we pass the provided info back up the
stack so anyone can use the data.
We're going to need to use some of this data moving forward.
Notably, now that some hardware can do AMSDU decap for us (the intel iwm
driver can do it when we flip it on; the ath10k port I'm doing does
it for us) then we need to pass it up through the stack so the duplicate
RX sequence numbers and crypto/IV details don't cause the packet to
be dropped and/or counted against a replay counter.
It's also the beginning of being able to do more interesting node
accounting in net80211. Specifically, once drivers start populating
per-packet rate information, AMPDU information, timestamps, etc,
we can start providing histograms of rate-versus-RSSI, account
for receive time spent per node and other such interesting things.
(Note: I'm also hoping to include ranging and RTT information for
future chipset support; and it's likely going to include it in
this kind of fashion.)
Replace various void * / int argument combinations with common structures:
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_status for *_tx_complete();
- ieee80211_ratectl_tx_stats for *_tx_update();
While here, improve amrr_tx_update() for a bit:
1. In case, if receiver is not known (typical for Ralink USB drivers),
refresh Tx rate for all nodes on the interface.
2. There was a misuse:
- otus(4) sends non-decreasing counters (as originally intended);
- but ural(4), rum(4) and run(4) are using 'read & clear' registers
to obtain statistics for some period of time (and those 'last period'
values are used as arguments for tx_update()). If arguments are not big
enough, they are just discarded after the next call.
Fix: move counting into *_tx_update()
(now otus(4) will zero out all node counters after every tx_update() call)
Tested with:
- Intel 3945BG (wpi(4)), STA mode.
- WUSB54GC (rum(4)), STA / HOSTAP mode.
- RTL8188EU (urtwn(4)), STA mode.

Although usually small, values produced by nitems() are unsigned.
By unsigning the corresponding indexes we avoid signed vs unsigned
comparisons. This may have some effect on performance, although given the
small sizes the effect will not be perceivable, and it makes the code
clearer.
Respect the style of the changed files: one uses u_int while the other
uses "unsigned int".

There's some upcoming work to add new chipset support here and I'd
like to only add 802.11n support to one driver, instead of both
urtwn and rtwn.
There's also missing support for things like 802.11n, some powersave
work, bluetooth integration/coexistence, etc, and also newer parts
(like 8192EU, maybe some 11ac parts, not sure yet.)
So, this is hopefully the first step in a longer set of steps to unify
rtwn/urtwn and extend it with more interesting chipset and functionality
support.
