9eacb9d7fc rt2x00: mt7620: lots of improvements
This commit combines all the changes I've made on my staging tree
into a single commit fixing many issues with our patch for MT7620.

First of all, checkpatch.pl revealed numerous code style issues with
the patch, so fix all the white-space and commets. Also use
usleep_range instead of legacy timing and relax timing for VCO
calibration just like the vendor driver does.

Several line programming registers were commented out in the patch.
Originally this came from the features present but disabled by default
in the vendor's driver (RTMP_TEMPERATURE_CALIBRATION and
ADJUST_POWER_CONSUMPTION_SUPPORT). Remove the dead code for now, it can
easily be re-added if we actually intend to support those features.

Move values from mt7620_freqconfig type into the existing rf_channel
struct, this shouldn't be a new typedef and it is possible to use the
existing struct because rf_channel got 4 32-bit fields, so two of the
8-bit values from mt7620_freqconfig can easily be stored in the same
32-bit field.

Map values such that
Rdiv -> rf1
N    -> rf2
K    -> rf3[0:7]
D    -> rf3[8:15]
Ksd  -> rf4

This makes the channel switching logic already look a bit more like
what we are used to in rt2x00... Probably many of the read-modify-write
calls could still be replaced by macros intended for that.

iq calibration seems to be identical to RT5592, so just enable it.
Test shows that this improves things quite a lot, datarates went up
by a couple of megabits when running iperf, signal quality seems jumpy
in the first few seconds once a station connencts, the stabelizes on a
value significantly better than what it was before.

Add description to the patch and reference the original OpenWrt commit
by which it was added.

The patch now passes checkpatch.pl and can thus be discussed with the
upstream authors of the rt2x00 driver.

b622f40249 mac80211: brcmfmac: backport wowlan netdetect fixes
I needed a moment to figure out relation between this patchset and the
nl80211: fix validation of scheduled scan info for wowlan netdetect

It appears nl80211 commit will go on top of brcmfmac changes so it's

One patch that was excluded is commit 2a2a5d1835b6 ("brcmfmac: add
.update_connect_params() callback") as it depends on missing commit
088e8df82f91 ("cfg80211: Add support to update connection parameters").

b3a871dd3d mac80211: backport "cfg80211: limit scan results cache size"
The patch commit states:
"It's possible to make scanning consume almost arbitrary amounts
of memory, e.g. by sending beacon frames with random BSSIDs at
high rates while somebody is scanning.

Limit the number of BSS table entries we're willing to cache to
1000, limiting maximum memory usage to maybe 4-5MB, but lower
in practice - that would be the case for having both full-sized
beacon and probe response frames for each entry; this seems not
possible in practice, so a limit of 1000 entries will likely be
closer to 0.5 MB."

This patch was added in 4.4.36. But because LEDE backports
cfg80211, mac80211 and the wifi drivers separately, it needs
to be added manually for now. It can be dropped later as it
will be part of the next mac80211 refresh.

3f889418a5 kernel: mac80211: add pending ath9k EEPROM swapping patches
There are two types of swapping the EEPROM data in the ath9k driver.
Before this series one type of swapping could not be used without the
other.

The first type of swapping looks at the "magic bytes" at the start of
the EEPROM data and performs swab16 on the EEPROM contents if needed.
The second type of swapping is EEPROM format specific and swaps
specific fields within the EEPROM itself (swab16, swab32 - depends on
the EEPROM format).

With this series the second part now looks at the EEPMISC register
inside the EEPROM, which uses a bit to indicate if the EEPROM data
is Big Endian (this is also done by the FreeBSD kernel).
This has a nice advantage: currently there are some out-of-tree hacks
(in OpenWrt and LEDE) where the EEPROM has a Big Endian header on a
Big Endian system (= no swab16 is performed) but the EEPROM itself
indicates that it's data is Little Endian. Until now the out-of-tree
code simply did a swab16 before passing the data to ath9k, so ath9k
first did the swab16 - this also enabled the format specific swapping.
These out-of-tree hacks are still working with the new logic, but it
is recommended to remove them. This implementation is based on a
discussion with Arnd Bergmann who raised concerns about the
robustness and portability of the swapping logic in the original OF
support patch review, see [0].

After a second round of patches (= v1 of this series) neither Arnd
Bergmann nor I were really happy with the complexity of the EEPROM
swapping logic. Based on a discussion (see [1] and [2]) we decided
that ath9k should use a defined format (specifying the endianness
of the data - I went with __le16 and __le32) when accessing the
EEPROM fields. A benefit of this is that we enable the EEPMISC based
swapping logic by default, just like the FreeBSD driver, see [3]. On
the devices which I have tested (see below) ath9k now works without
having to specify the "endian_check" field in ath9k_platform_data (or
a similar logic which could provide this via devicetree) as ath9k now
detects the endianness automatically. Only EEPROMs which are mangled
by some out-of-tree code still need the endian_check flag (or one can
simply remove that mangling from the out-of-tree code).

7f235df571 mac80211: rt2x00: remove eeprom filename dependency from mtd-eeprom
The ralink,mtd-eeprom device tree property doesn't require the
ralink,eeprom property to work.

Rework the error handling and user notification as well. Do not log an
error if the mtd-eeprom parameter isn't used. It could be intentional
and should not scare the user.

Check if the number of bytes read from the mtd devices matches the
requested number of bytes.

In case of an mtd read error, give a hint to the user which partition
was tried to read from.

In case everything is fine, notify the user as well.

Call the rt2x00lib_get_eeprom_file_name only once and from the function
where the EEPROM filename is required.

Error only out if an EEPROM file is mandatory. Use the
REQUIRE_EEPROM_FILE bit to determine if it is mandatory.

Do not set the REQUIRE_EEPROM_FILE bit while requesting an EEPROM file.
It should be (and is) set before requesting an EEPROM file.

Do not redirect users to upstream while using a function of a custom
patch.

5f8f8a3661 base-files, mac80211, broadcom-wl: wifi detection and configuration
Currently, the wifi detection script is executed as part of
the (early) boot process. Pluggable wifi USB devices, which
are inserted at a later time are not automatically
detected and therefore they don't show up in LuCI.

A user has to deal with wifi detection manually, or restart
the router.

However, the current "sleep 1" window - which the boot
process waits for wifi devices to "settle down" - is too
short to detect wifi devices for some routers anyway.

For example, this can happen with USB WLAN devices on the
WNDR4700. This is because the usb controller needs to load
its firmware from UBI and initialize, before it can operate.

The issue can be seen on a BT HomeHub 5A as well as soon as
the caldata are on an ubi volume. This is because the ath9k
card has to be initialized by owl-loader first. Which has to
wait for the firmware extraction script to retrieve the pci
initialization values inside the caldata.

This patch moves the wifi configuration to hotplug scripts.
For mac80211, the wifi configuration will now automatically
run any time a "ieee80211" device is added. Likewise
broadcom-wl's script checks for new "net" devices which
have the "wl$NUMBER" moniker.

Issues with spawning multiple interface configuration - in
case the detection script is run concurrently - have been
resolved by using a named section for the initial
configuration. Concurrent configuration scripts will now
simply overwrite the same existing configuration.

A workaround which preserves the "sleep 1" window for just
the first boot has been added. This allows the existing
brcm47xx boot and mvebu uci-default scripts to correctly
setup the initial mac addresses and regulatory domain.

And finally, the patch renames the "wifi detect" into
"wifi config". As the script no longer produces any output
that has to be redirected or appended to the configuration
file.

Thanks to Martin Blumenstingl for helping with the implementation
and testing of the patch.

5e35b4562f base-files, mac80211, broadcom-wl: use uci to populate wireless config
Previously, wifi detect simply dumped its generated wireless
configuration to STDOUT. A second step was needed to append
the configuration to /etc/config/wireless (or create it, if
it didn't exist).

With this patch, The wifi detection script will now use uci
to update the wireless configuration directly.

This patch also makes the initially created wifi-iface a
named section ('default_radio$X' for mac80211 and
'default_wl$X' for broadcom). With this change, uci will
not print the cfgHASH to STDOUT (which would now corrupt
the wireless configuration). It will also prevent adding
duplicated wifi interface configurations, if the wifi
configuration is run concurrently.

c729fe0269 mac80211: backport brcmfmac changes from 2016-07-08
To work correctly hostapd requires wireless driver to allow interfaces
removal. It was working with brcmfmac only partially. Firmware for
BCM43602 got some special hack (feature?) that allowed removing all
interfaces by disabling mbss mode. It wasn't working with BCM4366
firmware and remaining interfaces were preventing hostapd from starting
again.

Those patches add support for "interface_remove" firmware method which
works with BCM4366 firmware and they make it finally possible to use

70afc0bdd1 kernel: mac80211: set the parent of the ath9k gpio_chip
This allows gpiolib to re-use ath9k's devicetree node as GPIO
controller.
Example:

ath9k: ath9k@0 {
	#gpio-cells = <2>;
	gpio-controller;
}

Now the ath9k node can be used just like any other GPIO controller:
	gpios = <&ath9k 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

7b7ea91e24 kernel: mac80211: enable the gpio controller for all ath9k devices
This enables ath9k's built-in GPIO controller for all chip versions
(instead of an explicit whitelist). This also allows us to get rid of
some duplicate code between hw.c and gpio.c because hw.c already
determines the number of GPIOs.

3ce71eaedd kernel: mac80211: fold the AR9280 GPIO patch into the ath9k GPIO patch
This folds 550-ath9k_add_ar9280_gpio_chip.patch into
548-ath9k_enable_gpio_chip.patch because the former patch only extends
code which is introduced in the latter.

1e03998e2b mac80211: fix skb size calculation in 4addr mode (FS#24)
The PDU length of incoming LLC frames is set to the total skb payload size
in __ieee80211_data_to_8023() of net/wireless/util.c which incorrectly
includes the length of the IEEE 802.11 header.

The resulting LLC frame header has a too large PDU length, causing the
llc_fixup_skb() function of net/llc/llc_input.c to reject the incoming
skb, effectively breaking STP.

Solve the problem by properly substracting the IEEE 802.11 frame header size
from the PDU length, allowing the LLC processor to pick up the incoming
control messages.

Special thanks to Gerry Rozema for tracking down the regression and proposing
a suitable patch.

Fixes FS#24.

3ec4803932 mac80211: respect user-set regulatory domain by default
It turns out most device vendors don't set the correct country code
in their devices' on-flash-EEPROM sections as they apparently rather
provide a complete per-target-market firmware with patched drivers
instead of just setting the country code.
This results in the driver to incorrectly assume the value stored in
the on-flash-EERPOM (usually US or China) being the regulatory domain
inside which the device is being used.
To work around this issue, OpenWrt introduced the ATH_USER_REGD config
variable to decide during build whether or not to allow the user to
override the regulatory domain setting. This option, however, is not
enabled by default and thus ends up being disabled for snapshots builds
and released binaries.
As we know for a long time that most devices got borked regulatory
domain values set in their EEPROMs we should allow our users to respect
their local law (instead of just assume US or China laws).
Note that also the current default has great potential of users not
ever setting their regulatory domain and thus using inapproriate and
potentially illegal frequencies and/or tx-power settings
