This patch works around an internal compiler error (gcc bug #37014) in
all gcc 4.2 compilers and the gcc 4.3 series up to at least 4.3.1
on at least powerpc and mips.
Many thanks to Andrew Pinski for analyzing the gcc bug.

It was possible for unsupported operating modes
to be accepted by the add_interface callback function.
This patch will block those modes until proper support
has been implemented for them.

Following "mac80211: fix TX sequence numbers", if a packet
has the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ assigned, a sequence number must be
supplied, either by hardware or software. AFAIK, no such hardware exists
for the p54, thus it must be done in software. With this patch, a connection
qith p54usb is stable, whereas the interface went off-line in 2-3 hours
without this change. Note that this code will have to be reworked for proper
sequence numbers on beacons. In addition, the sequence number has been placed
in the hardware state, not the vif state.

Some hardware set promisc when they are requested to set IFF_ALLMULTI flag.
It's ok, but if drivers set IFF_PROMISC flag when they set promisc,
it will broken upper layer handle for promisc and allmulti.
In addition, drivers can use their own hardware programming to make it.
So do not allow drivers to set IFF_* flags.
This is a general driver fix, so I didn't split it to pieces and send
to specific driver maintainers.

This patch fixes unhandled interrupt when HW rfkill is on during
devices start up. The behavior changes, now open is successful even
when rfkill is on. This is to align with the situation when rfkill
is set on after opening.

This patch optimizes memory allocation. The cmd member of

Experience with the rtl8187 driver has shown that mac80211 can make
calls to the config callback routine in rapid succession. This patch
creates a mutex that protects the private data in several of the routines
called by mac80211.

In the legacy rt2570 driver the link tuner was never
really called. And now the reason has finally become
apparent: It breaks TX capabilities
As soon as the device has been associated all following
TX frames will be queued in the hardware and never transmitted
to the air. Disabling sections of the link tuner did not
have the expected result, but completely disabling the
link tuner did have the right result (Both of my rt2570 devices
came back to life).

Having the buffer on the stack and even re-using it for all led devices is bad.
Not being able to resolve the name member of the led device structure to a
meaningful value leads to confusion during ad-hoc debugging and potential
breakage in the future, if we ever decide to access the name member outside of
the registration function. Move the buffer to our private per led device
structures so that it is accessible after registration.
A quick grep didn't yield any occurence of using the led device name parameter
outside of the led device registration function, so currently we should already
be safe for normal operation.
