wl1251: Add support for idle mode
On Nokia N900 the wl1251 consumes the most power when the interface is up
but not associated to access point (that supports PSM). In terms of battery
current consumption, the consumption is ~180 mA higher when the interface is
up but not associated and only ~5 mA higher when associated compared to
interface down and driver not loaded cases.
This patch adds support for the mac80211 idle notifications. Chip is put into
idle very much the same way when entering into PSM by utilizing the Extreme
Low Power (ELP) mode. I.e. idle is entered by setting necessary conditions
in wl1251_ps_set_mode followed by a call to wl1251_ps_elp_sleep.
It seems it is just enough the authorize ELP mode followed by
CMD_DISCONNECT (thanks to Kalle Valo about the idea to use it).
Without disconnect command the chip remains somewhat active and stays
consuming ~20 mA. Idle mode is left by same way than PSM. The wl1251_join
call is used to revert the CMD_DISCONNECT. Without it association to AP
doesn't work when trying second time.
With this patch the interface up but not associated case the battery current
consumption is less than 1 mA higher compared to interface down case.

wl1251: Prepare for idle mode support
RFC for WL1251 idle mode support brought a few issues that are worth to
update before adding the idle mode support.
Since the idle mode can reuse the code that is now used in Power Save Mode
(PSM), the flag psm in struct wl1251 is changed to variable station_mode
to be able to distinguish between PSM and idle modes.
As the station mode is different than the power power save mode command
that is sent to chip, the enum wl1251_cmd_ps_mod values are used only when
communicating with the chip and new enum wl1251_station_mode values are used
inside the driver.
Confusing comment about psm and elp relation is removed since the PSM is
actually activated by putting the chip into Entreme Low Power (ELP) mode.

wl1251: fix deadlock with ieee80211 beacon filter calls
Lockdep shows that there is a deadlock when calling ieee80211_rssi_changed()
under wl->mutex. Fix it by releasing mutex before calling mac80211 functions.
This patch is based on Work-In-Progress patch sent by Kalle Valo.
wl1251: use ELP wakeup interrupt instead of polling
The chip can generate an interrupt on ELP wakeup, make use of it instead
of polling the status register. This reduces wakeup time to ~7ms from
~8-20ms (the wait loop was sleeping, so could take up to 20ms depending
on how system timer is configured). Note that DEBUG_PSM does not report
this accurately as it only measures jiffies.
This patch also moves atomic portion of interrupt processing to main.c
to avoid code duplication.
While working on PS I've noticed elp_work is kicking rather often, and
sometimes the chip is put to sleep before 5ms delay expires. This
seems to happen because by the time wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup is called
elp_work might still be pending, and if the processing takes longer
(for example interrupts may take some time to process), elp_work might
get started and hit the mutex. After main thread finishes work it
calls wl1251_ps_elp_sleep, which can no longer cancel old work (as
it's already started) and schedules yet another work needlessly. The
elp_work then gets the mutex and puts the chip to sleep too early.
Fix this by cancelling work in wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup instead.
wl1251_ps_set_elp() only does acx_sleep_auth call and takes the chip
from/to ELP, however all callers of wl1251_ps_set_mode() have already
taken the chip out of ELP and puts it back to ELP when they finish.
This makes ELP calls (and register writes they result in) superfluous.
So remove wl1251_ps_set_elp function and call acx_sleep_auth directly.
Finish up filtering code and enable it. mac80211 no longer requires
to be atomic in .configure_filter callback, so remove filter_work.
The new filtering code makes sure it doesn't enable BSSID filtering
while BSSID is not set so that association works properly. This
allows removing hack in wl1251_cmd_join.

Use the ENABLE_RX command for channel switching when no interface is present

The advantage of ENABLE_RX is that it leaves the tx data path disabled in

wl1251: fix scan behaviour while not associated
With a dissacociated card I often encoutered very long scan delays.
My guess is that it has something to do with the cards DTIM handling and
another firmware bug mentioned in the TI WLAN driver, which is described as
the card may never end scanning if the channel is overloaded because it
can't send probe requests. I think the firmware somehow also tries to
receive DTIM messages when the BSSID is not set. Therefore most of the time
it waits for DTIM messages and can't do scanning work.
Anyway we can workaround this misbehaviour by setting the HIGH_PRIORITY
bit for scans in disassociated state.

wl1251: fix queue stopping/waking for TX path
The queue stopping/waking functionality was broken in a way that could
cause the TX to stall if the right circumstances are met.
The problem was caused by tx_work, which is scheduled on each TX operation.
If the firmware buffer is full, tx_work does nothing. In combinition with
stopped queues or non-continues transfers, tx_work is never scheduled again.
Moreover the low watermark introduced by 9df86e2e702c6d5547aced7f241addd2d698bb11 never takes effect because of some
old code.
Solve this by scheduling tx_work every time tx_queue is non-empty and
firmware buffer is freed on tx_complete.
This also solves a possible but unlikely case: If less frames than the high
watermark are queued, but more than firmware buffer can hold. This results
in queues staying awake but the only scheduled tx_work doesn't transfer all
frames, so the remaining frames are stuck in the queue until more frames
get queued and tx_work is scheduled again.

Reading the ELP_CTRL register with sdio_readb causes problems because
hardware seems to be performing a write using stuff bits in the request
(those bits contain write data in write request). This indicates that it
actually expects RAW (read after write) type of request, so perform that
when reading ELP_CTRL instead. Also cache last written value so we know
what to write when doing RAW request.
Because of the above it was not possible to wake the chip from ELP power
saving mode, PM had to be disabled to have the driver usable in SDIO
mode. After this patch PM is functional.
here's the original message:
The queue stopping/waking functionality was broken in a way that could
cause huge latencies in TX transfers and even cause the TX to stall in the
right circumstances. Correct these problems.

Missing uevent_suppress is causing two uevents instead of one, which is
confusing udev and sometimes causing firmware load to fail due to race
condition, so let's add it.
wl1251 has WLAN_IRQ pin for generating interrupts to host processor,
which is mandatory in SPI mode and optional in SDIO mode (which can
use SDIO interrupts instead). However TI recommends using deditated
IRQ line for SDIO too.
Add support for using dedicated interrupt line with SDIO, but also leave
