      iwlwifi: fix up command sending · c2acea8e
      Johannes Berg authored 
      

The current command sending in iwlwifi is a bit of a mess:
 1) there is a struct, iwl_cmd, that contains both driver
    and device data in a single packed structure -- this
    is very confusing
 2) the on-stack data and the command metadata share a
    structure by embedding the latter in the former, which
    is also rather confusing because it leads to weird
    unions and similarly odd constructs
 3) each txq always has enough space for 256 commands,
    even if only 32 end up being used

This patch fixes these things:
 1) rename iwl_cmd to iwl_device_cmd and keep track of
    command metadata and device command separately, in
    two arrays in each tx queue
 2) remove the 'meta' member from iwl_host_cmd and only
    put in the required members
 3) allocate the cmd/meta arrays separately instead of
    embedding them into the txq structure

      iwlwifi: make debug level more user friendly · a562a9dd
      Reinette Chatre authored 
      

* Deprecate the "debug50" module parameter used to obtain
  5000 series and up debugging. Replace it with "debug" module
  parameter to match with original driver and be consistent
  between them. The "debug50" module parameter can still be used,
  except that the module parameter is not writable in keeping
  with its previous state. We currently just mark it as "deprecated"
  and do not have it in the feature-removal-schedule. Some more
  cleanup of module parameters needs to be done and can then be
  entered together.

* Only make "debug" module parameters visible if the driver
  is compiled with CONFIG_IWLWIFI_DEBUG. This will eliminate
  a lot of confusion where users think they have set debug flags
  but yet cannot see any debug output.

* Make module parameters writable. This eliminates the need for the
  "debug_level" sysfs file, which can now also be deprecated and
  added to feature-removal-schedule. This file is in significant
  use though with many iwlwifi documents and text referring users
  to it. We can thus not take its removal lightly and keep it around.

With iwlcore shared between iwlagn and iwl3945 we really do not need
debug module parameters for each but can instead have one debug
module parameter for the iwlcore module. The same issue is here as
with the sysfs file - a lot of iwlwifi documentation and text (like
bug reports) rely on iwlagn and iwl3945 having this module parameter,
so changing this to a module parameter of iwlcore will have significant
impact and we do not do this for that reason.

One consequence of this patch is that if a user is running a system
with both 3945 and later hardware then the setting of the one module
parameter will affect the value of the other. The likelihood of this
seems low - and even if this setup is present it does not seem like an
issue for both modules to run with the same debug level.

      iwlwifi: uCode Alive notification with timeout · 34a66de6
      Wey-Yi Guy authored 
      

Wait for REPLY_ALIVE notification from init and runtime uCode.
based on the type of REPLY_ALIVE, different status bit will be set to
wake up the queue:
STATUS_INIT_UCODE_ALIVE for init uCode
STATUS_RT_UCODE_ALIVE for runtime uCode.

If timeout, attempt to download the failing uCode image again. This can
only be done for the init ucode images of all iwlagn devices and the
runtime ucode image of the 5000 series and up. If there is a problem
with the 4965 runtime ucode coming up we restart the interface and thus
trigger a new download of the init ucode also.

      iwlwifi: Handle new firmware file with ucode build number in header · cc0f555d
      Jay Sternberg authored 
      

Adding new API version to account for change to ucode file format.  New
header includes the build number of the ucode.  This build number is the
SVN revision thus allowing for exact correlation to the code that
generated it.

The header adds the build number so that older ucode images can also be
enhanced to include the build in the future.

some cleanup in iwl_read_ucode needed to ensure old header not used and
reduce unnecessary references through pointer with the data is already
in heap variable.
