    iwlwifi: cleanup spectrum measurement command support · 81963d68
    Reinette Chatre authored
    In iwlagn the support for spectrum measurement command has been
    disabled since v2.6.29 without any requests for it. In addition to this
    when this command is indeed enabled it has been found to trigger firmware
    SYSASSERT on at least 4965 and 5100 hardware (see
    http://bugzilla.intellinuxwireless.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1952
    
     ). Since then
    this code has been bitrotting and cannot just be enabled without porting.
    
    Remove support for spectrum measurement command from iwlagn. It can be
    added back if there is a future need and the firmware problem it triggers
    has been fixed. Support for the spectrim measurement notification remains
    as it has been enabled all the time.
    
    In addition to this remove the 3945 spectrum measurement command Kconfig
    option and make this command always supported. The code added by this
    enabling is minimal and only run when user triggers a spectrum measurement
    request via sysfs.
