Device command timeouts are set up very high (1 sec) and this causes
AP beacon to lock up for long for example. Checking timeouts on device
it's easy to see that 1 sec timeout is not needed, when device fails
to response longer timeout doesn't help:
[ 473.074419] zd1211rw 1-1:1.0: print_times() Read times:
[ 473.175163] zd1211rw 1-1:1.0: print_time() 0 - 10 msec: 1506

[ 473.184381] zd1211rw 1-1:1.0: print_time() 1000 - ... msec: 18
Also vendor driver doesn't use this long timeout. Therefore change
timeout to 50msec.

Use stack for allocing small < 64 byte arrays in zd_chip.c and preallocated
buffer in zd_usb.c. This might lower CPU usage for beacon setup.

- Do not use stack buffers in zd_usb.c as they would be used for urb

Beacon config function writes beacon to hw one write per byte. This is very
slow (usually taking more than 100ms to finish) and causes high CPU usage
when in AP-mode (kworker at ~50% on Intel Atom N270). By batching commands
together zd_mac_config_beacon() runtime can be lowered to 1/5th and lower
CPU usage to saner levels (<10% on Atom).

When doing tx/rx at high packet rate (for example simply using ping -f),
device starts to fail to respond to control messages. On non-AP modes
this only causes problems for LED updating code but when we are running
in AP-mode we are writing new beacon to HW usually every 100ms. Now if
control message fails in HW beacon setup, device lock is kept locked
and beacon data partially written. This can and usually does cause:
1. HW beacon setup fail now on, as driver cannot acquire device lock.
2. Beacon-done interrupt stop working as device has incomplete beacon.
Therefore make zd_mac_config_beacon() always try to release device lock
and add beacon watchdog to restart beaconing when stall is detected.
Also fix zd_mac_config_beacon() try acquiring device lock for max 500ms,
as what old code appeared to be trying to do using loop and msleep(1).

On review of 'zd1211rw: implement beacon fetching and handling
ieee80211_get_buffered_bc()', Christian Lamparter noted that [1]:
Since zd_beacon_done also uploads the next beacon so long in advance,
there could be an equally long race between the outdated state of the
next beacon's DTIM broadcast traffic indicator (802.11-2007 7.3.2.6)
which -in your case- was uploaded almost a beacon interval ago and
the xmit of ieee80211_get_buffered_bc *now*.
The dtim bc/mc bit might be not set, when a mc/bc arrived after the
beacon was uploaded, but before the "beacon done event" from the
hardware. So, dozing stations don't expect the broadcast traffic
and of course, they might miss it completely.
It's probably better to fix this in mac80211 (see the attached hack).

For reasons not very clear yet to me, filter_ack leaves matching tx-packet
pending with 'ack_pending'. This causes tx-packet to be passed back to upper
layer after next packet has been transfered and tx-packets might end up
coming come out of monitor interface in wrong order vs. rx.
Because of this when enable AP-mode, hostapd monitor interface would get
packets in wrong order causing problems in WPA association.
So don't use mac->ack_pending when in AP-mode.

Vendor driver uses CR_BNC_INTERVAL at various places, one is HW_EnableBeacon()
that combinies beacon interval with BSS-type flag and DTIM value in upper 16bit
of u32. The other one is HW_UpdateBcnInterval() that set_aw_pt_bi()
appears to be based on. HW_UpdateBcnInterval() takes interval argument as u16
and uses that for calculations, set_aw_pt_bi() uses u32 value that has flags
and dtim in upper part. This clearly seems wrong. Also HW_UpdateBcnInterval()
updates only lower 16bit part of CR_BNC_INTERVAL. So make set_aw_pt_bi() do
calculations on only lower u16 part of s->beacon_interval.
Also set 32bit beacon interval register before reading values from device,
as HW_EnableBeacon() on vendor driver does. This is required to make beacon
work on AP-mode, simply reading and then writing updated values is not enough
at least with zd1211b.

When stress testing AP-mode I hit OOPS when unpluging or rmmodding
driver.
It appears that when tx-queue is disabled, tx-urbs might be left pending.
These can cause ehci to call non-existing tx_urb_complete() (after rmmod)
or uninitialized/reseted private structure (after disconnect()). Add skb
queue for submitted packets and unlink pending urbs on zd_usb_disable_tx().
Part of the problem seems to be usb->free_urb_list that isn't always
working as it should, causing machine freeze when trying to free the list
in zd_usb_disable_tx(). Caching free urbs isn't what other drivers seem
to be doing (usbnet for example) so strip free_usb_list.
Patch makes tx-urb handling saner with use of urb anchors.

TKIP countermeasures depend on devices being able to detect Michael
MIC failures on received frames and for stations to report errors to
the AP. In order to test that behavior, it is useful to be able to
send out TKIP frames with incorrect Michael MIC. This testing behavior
has minimal effect on the TX path, so it can be added to mac80211 for
convenient use.
The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211
netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file
makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using
invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one
of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast
frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current
BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only
when associated and using TKIP.

The TKIP implementation was originally prepared to be a bit more
flexible in the way Michael MIC TX/RX keys are configured. However, we
are now taking care of the TX/RX MIC key swapping in user space, so
this code will not be needed. Similarly, there were some remaining WPA
testing code that won't be used in their current form. Remove the
unneeded extra complexity.

When operating in AP mode the wl1271 hardware filters out null-data
packets as well as management packets. This makes it impossible for
mac80211 to monitor the PS mode by using the PM bit of incoming frames.
Implement a HW flag to indicate that mac80211 should ignore the PM bit.
In addition, expose ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to make low-level
drivers capable of controlling PS-mode.

When rate-control is performed in HW, we cannot calculate frame
duration as we do not have the skb transmission rate in SW.
ieee80211_tx_h_calculate_duration() should only be called when
ieee80211_tx_h_rate_ctrl() has been called before to initialize data
in skb->cb. This doesn't happen for drivers with HW rate-control.
Fixes the following warning when operating in AP-mode
in a driver with HW rate-control.
