Arend van Spriel 2bedea8f26 bcma: make bcma_core_pci_{up,down}() callable from atomic context
This patch removes the bcma_core_pci_power_save() call from
the bcma_core_pci_{up,down}() functions as it tries to schedule
thus requiring to call them from non-atomic context. The function
bcma_core_pci_power_save() is now exported so the calling module
can explicitly use it in non-atomic context. This fixes the
'scheduling while atomic' issue reported by Tod Jackson and
Joe Perches.

    brcmsmac: use bcma PCIe up and down functions

    replace the calls to bcma_core_pci_extend_L1timer() by calls to the
    newly introduced bcma_core_pci_ip() and bcma_core_pci_down()

This fix has been discussed with Hauke Mehrtens [1] selection
option 3) and is intended for v3.12.

README

Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA,
however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use.

Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use
AMBA standard fields like CID and PID.

In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of:
1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated
   as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup.
2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID)
   and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that
   devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core.

Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from
EPROM.

In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to
16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision
and class.
