This patch fixes a regression introduced by:
commit 6da3b6c48d

brcmsmac: remove brcms_bss_cfg->associated
The regression behaviour was described on mailing list.
http://mid.gmane.org/5197DC4F.7030503@broadcom.com:
"On laptop I installed kernel with brcmsmac compiled as
module. It comes up and associates during boot, but after
logging in there is no connectivity. Triggering reassoc
gives connectivity for some time, but after a while (1-2 min)
it stops."
Before the mentioned commit the return value of
the function brcms_c_ps_allowed() was always false,
which is desired behaviour as power-save is not
supported at the moment. Therefor, the function is
changed to just return false instead of simply
reverting the mentioned commit.

Since driver does not use control.rates[0].count, we have never set that
variable. But currently, after rate control API rewrite, this is required
by mac80211. Otherwise legacy rates control does not work and we transmit
always at 1Mbit/s on pre 11n networks.

The module parameter "fwpostfix" is userspace controllable, unfiltered,
and is used to define the firmware filename. b43_do_request_fw() populates
ctx->errors[] on error, containing the firmware filename. b43err()
parses its arguments as a format string. For systems with b43 hardware,
this could lead to a uid-0 to ring-0 escalation.

Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
stability.

Due to a typo, the current code copies only sizeof(cmd->channels_2)
bytes, which is smaller than the correct sizeof(cmd->channels_5)
size, resulting in a partial scan (some channels are skipped).

There was a typo in commit 8675f9 (wlcore/wl12xx/wl18xx: verify
multi-role and single-role fw versions), which was causing the
multirole firmware for wl127x (WiLink6) to be rejected. The actual
minimum version needed for wl127x multirole is 6.5.7.0.42.

If hci_dev_open fails we need to ensure that the corresponding
mgmt_set_powered command gets an appropriate response. This patch fixes
the missing response by adding a new mgmt_set_powered_failed function
that's used to indicate a power on failure to mgmt. Since a situation
with the device being rfkilled may require special handling in user
space the patch uses a new dedicated mgmt status code for this.

There has been code in place to check that the L2CAP length header
matches the amount of data received, but many PDU handlers have not been
checking that the data received actually matches that expected by the
specific PDU. This patch adds passing the length header to the specific
handler functions and ensures that those functions fail cleanly in the
case of an incorrect amount of data.

LE-only controllers do not support extended features so any kind of host
feature bit checks do not make sense for them. This patch fixes code
used for both single-mode (LE-only) and dual-mode (BR/EDR/LE) to use the
HCI_LE_ENABLED flag instead of the "Host LE supported" feature bit for
LE support tests.

For p2p client mode powersave mode should be kept disabled. It is
working but inefficient. In general p2p links do no benefit from this
mode, because these links are setup temporarily to transfer data.

are created or updated that they start initially with the same
channel as the channel in use for the current connection
(if any). If none exists take default channel 11.

ARP offloading should only be used in STA or P2P client mode. It
is currently configured once at init. When being configured for AP
ARP offloading should be turned off and when AP mode is left it can
be turned back on.
