Michael Buesch 990b86f4f9 b43: Add optional verbose runtime statistics
This adds support for verbose runtime statistics.
It defaults to off and must be enabled in debugfs, if desired.
The first measurement may be incorrect, because statistics are not cleared
after they got enabled through debugfs.

Michael Buesch 36dbd9548e b43: Use a threaded IRQ handler
Use a threaded IRQ handler to allow locking the mutex and
sleeping while executing an interrupt.
This removes usage of the irq_lock spinlock, but introduces
a new hardirq_lock, which is _only_ used for the PCI/SSB lowlevel
hard-irq handler. Sleeping busses (SDIO) will use mutex instead.

Michael Buesch 060210f938 b43: Dynamically control log verbosity
Dynamically control the log verbosity with a module parameter.
This enables us to dynamically enable debugging messages (or disable
info, warn, error messages) via module parameter or /sys/module/b43/parameters/verbose.

This increases the module size by about 3k. But in practice it reduces the
module size for the user, because some distributions ship the b43 module
with CONFIG_B43_DEBUG set, which increases the module by about 15k.

So with this patch applied, distributions should really _disable_ CONFIG_B43_DEBUG.
There is no reason to keep it in a production-release kernel.
So we have a net reduction in size by about 12k.

This patch also adds a printk of the wireless core revision, so people
don't have to enable SSB debugging to get the wireless core revision.

Alina Friedrichsen 08e87a833f b43: Accessing the TSF via mac80211
This allows the mac80211 high level code to access the TSF. This is e.g. needed for BSSID merges in the IBSS mode.

The second version adds locking and removes the now unnecessary debugfs entries.

Thanks to Michael Buesch! :)

Michael Buesch 9cf7f247bd b43: Add key memory dumping
This adds an option to dump all crypto related memory to
the kernel log.
Obviously, it should not be enabled on productive systems. ;)

Michael Buesch 923fd7036f b43: Add debugfs firmware debugging knob
This adds a firmware debugging knob to debugfs.
With this knob it's possible to enable advanced runtime firmware
checks.
For now it only implements one sanity check for the mac-suspend.
In future there'll probably be more.
If CONFIG_B43_DEBUG is disabled, these checks will collapse to nothing.

Michael Buesch 9965183a78 b43: Remove "shm" and "ucode_regs" debugfs files
We don't need these two dump-files anymore, as we can easily do this
in userspace now.
Use b43-fwdump from the b43-tools repository to dump microcode registers.
Use "b43-fwdump -s" to dump SHM (or use -S to do a binary dump)

Michael Buesch f5eda47f45 b43: Rewrite LO calibration algorithm
This patch distributes the Local Oscillator calibration bursts over time,
so that calibration only happens when it's actually needed.
Currently we periodically perform a recalibration of the whole table.
The table is huge and this takes lots of time. Additionally only small bits
of the table are actually needed at a given time. So instead of maintaining
a huge table with all possible calibration values, we create dynamic calibration
settings that
a) We only calibrate when they are actually needed.
b) Are cached for some time until they expire.
So a recalibration might happen if we need a calibration setting that's not
cached, or if the active calibration setting expires.
Currently the expire timeout is set to 30 seconds. We may raise that in future.

This patch reduces overall memory consumption by nuking the
huge static calibration tables.

This patch has been tested on several 4306, 4311 and 4318 flavours.
