<title>mac80211: convert HW flags to unsigned long bitmap</title>

As we're running out of hardware capability flags pretty quickly,
convert them to use the regular test_bit() style unsigned long
bitmaps.

This introduces a number of helper functions/macros to set and to
test the bits, along with new debugfs code.

The occurrences of an explicit __clear_bit() are intentional, the
drivers were never supposed to change their supported bits on the
fly. We should investigate changing this to be a per-frame flag.

====================
Lots of updates for net-next for this cycle. As usual, we have
a lot of small fixes and cleanups, the bigger items are:
 * proper mac80211 rate control locking, to fix some random crashes
   (this required changing other locking as well)
 * mac80211 "fast-xmit", a mechanism to reduce, in most cases, the
   amount of code we execute while going from ndo_start_xmit() to
   the driver
 * this also clears the way for properly supporting S/G and checksum
   and segmentation offloads

If the wl18xx-conf.bin file is missing or invalid (e.g. due
to recent driver change), fallback to default configuration
instead of failing driver load.

* Interrupt request need to happen when the wilink chip is powered on and
  driving the wlan_irq line. This avoids spurious interrupt issues that

* Allow working with wl18xx level-low and falling edge irqs by configuring

This support is essentially useless as typically networks are encrypted,
frames will be filtered by hardware, and rate scaling will be done with
the intended recipient in mind. For real monitoring of the network, the
monitor mode support should be used instead.

Removing it removes a lot of corner cases.

Pull ARM DT updates from Olof Johansson:
 "As always, this tends to be one of our bigger branches.  There are
  lots of updates this release, but not that many jumps out as something
  that needs more detailed coverage.  Some of the highlights are:

   - DTs for the new Annapurna Labs Alpine platform

   - more graphics DT pieces falling into place on Exynos, bridges,
     clocks.

   - plenty of DT updates for Qualcomm platforms for various IP blocks

   - some churn on Tegra due to switch-over to tool-generated pinctrl
     data

   - misc fixes and updates for Atmel at91 platforms

   - various DT updates to add IP block support on Broadcom's Cygnus
     platforms

   - more updates for Renesas platforms as DT support is added for
     various IP blocks (IPMMU, display, audio, etc)"

The driver can clearly enable fast-xmit since it does rate
control in the device and thus must do duration calculation
there as well.
