d491af19db cfg80211: allow users to request removing a BSS
This patch introduces cfg80211_unlink_bss, a function to
allow a driver to remove a BSS from the internal list and
make it not show up in scan results any more -- this is
to be used when the driver detects that the BSS is no
longer available.

78c1c7e109 cfg80211: free_priv for BSS info
When cfg80211 users have their own allocated data in the per-BSS
private data, they will need to free this when the BSS struct is
destroyed. Add a free_priv method and fix one place where the BSS
was kfree'd rather than released properly.

99cf5f5f35 mac80211: dont add BSS when creating IBSS
There's no need to create a BSS struct only to pass it to
ieee80211_sta_join_ibss, so refactor this function into
__ieee80211_sta_join_ibss which takes all the relevant
paramters, and ieee80211_sta_join_ibss which takes a BSS
struct (used when joining an IBSS that already has other
members).

2a51931192 cfg80211/nl80211: scanning (and mac80211 update to use it)
This patch adds basic scan capability to cfg80211/nl80211 and
changes mac80211 to use it. The BSS list that cfg80211 maintains
is made driver-accessible with a private area in each BSS struct,
but mac80211 doesn't yet use it. That's another large project.

55687e380a mac80211: fix aggregation timer lockups
As far as I can tell, there are possible lockups because both the RX
session_timer and TX addba_resp_timer are del_timer_sync'ed under
the sta spinlock which both timer functions take. Additionally, the
TX agg code seems to leak memory when TX aggregation is not disabled
before the sta_info is freed.

Fix this by making the free code a little smarter in the RX agg case,
and actually make the sta_info_destroy code free the TX agg info in
the TX agg case. We won't notify the peer, but it'll notice something
is wrong anyway, and normally this only happens after we've told it
in some other way we will no longer talk to it.

23e6a7ea5c mac80211: fix race in TX aggregation
When disabling TX aggregation because it was rejected or from
the timer (it was not accepted), there is a window where we
first set the state to operation, unlock, and then undo the
whole thing. Avoid that by splitting up the stop function.

955d3fe3e8 mac80211: hardware should not deny going back to legacy
Doing so would be an MLME protocol violation when the peer disabled
the aggregation session. Quick driver review indicates that there are
error codes passed all over the drivers but cannot ever be nonzero
except in error conditions that would indicate mac80211 bugs.

No real changes here, since no drivers currently can return -EBUSY.

572e001221 mac80211: use ps-poll when dynamic power save mode is disabled
When a directed tim bit is set, mac80211 currently disables power save
ands sends a null frame to the AP. But if dynamic power save is
disabled, mac80211 will not enable power save ever gain. Fix this by
adding ps-poll functionality to mac80211. When a directed tim bit is
set, mac80211 sends a ps-poll frame to the AP and checks for the more
data bit in the returned data frames.

Using ps-poll is slower than waking up with null frame, but it's saves more
power in cases where the traffic is low. Userspace can control if either
ps-poll or null wakeup method is used by enabling and disabling dynamic
power save.

1fb3606bc5 mac80211: remove multicast check from check_tim()
Currently mac80211 checks for the multicast tim bit from beacons,
disables power save and sends a null frame if the bit is set. This was
added to support ath9k. But this is a bit controversial because the AP will
send multicast frames immediately after the beacon and the time constraints
are really high. Relying mac80211 to be fast enough here might not be
reliable in all situations. And there's no need to send a null frame, AP
will send the frames immediately after the dtim beacon no matter what.

Also if dynamic power save is disabled (iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 0)
currently mac80211 disables power save whenever the multicast bit is set
but it's never enabled again after receiving the first multicast/broadcast
frame.

The current implementation is not usable on p54/stlc45xx and the
easiest way to fix this is to remove the multicast tim bit check
altogether. Handling multicast tim bit in host is rare, most of the
designs do this in firmware/hardware, so it's better not to have it in
mac80211. It's a lot better to do this in firmware/hardware, or if
that's not possible it could be done in the driver.

Also renamed the function to ieee80211_check_tim() to follow the style
of the file.
