The driver code allows for the disabling of MSI interrupts; however the
module_parm line was missed and the option fails to show with modinfo.

AR93xx and newer needs to stop rx before tx to avoid getting the DMA
engine or MAC into a stuck state.
This should reduce/fix the occurence of "Failed to stop Tx DMA" logspam.

[ Upstream commit 1277fa2ab2f9a624a4b0177119ca13b5fd65edd0 ]

Several of these drivers have there TX randomly blocked for 3~5 seconds while
measuring tx throughput (iperf). The root couse happens in rtl_pci_flush().
The function uses a while-loop to wait for TX queue length to decrease to 0.
The TX queue length counts the number of packets that are queued in the driver.
The driver relys on the TX OK interrupt to return skb and reduce TX queue length.

The interrupt subroutine disables interupts, reads the interrupt registers, and
then clears the registers in the beginning of _rtl_pci_interrupt(). After all
interupts process are finished, the driver invokes enable_interrupt() to enable
interupts. This behavior is normal for an interrupt subroutine.

But enable_interrupt() invokes clear_interrupt() again. This unexpected interrupt
clearing may cleari me fresh TX OK interrupts. These missing interrupts cause TX
queue length to never reduce to 0i, which causes rtl_pci_flush() to be stuck in
unterminated while-loop.

This patch removes clear_interrupt() in enable_interrupt() to avoid this behavior.

[ Upstream commit 90f91b129810c3f169e443252be30ed7c0130326 ]

It seems Broadcom released two devices with conflicting device id. There
are for sure 14e4:4321 PCI devices with BCM4321 (N-PHY) chipset, they
can be found in routers, e.g. Netgear WNR834Bv2. However, according to
Broadcom public sources 0x4321 is also used for 5 GHz BCM4306 (G-PHY).
It's unsure if they meant PCI device id, or "virtual" id (from SPROM).
To distinguish these devices lets check PHY type (G vs. N).

In the case of a DMA mapping error on the last iteration of
the loop of the allocation of memory of the FW monitor we
indeed free the pages, but don't NULL out the page variable
thus allowing for the possibility of setting the FW monitor
variables with invalid data to use.

[ Upstream commit 414b7e3b9ce8b0577f613e656fdbc36b34b444dd ]

The USB mini-driver in rtlwifi, which is used by rtl8192cu, issues a call to
usb_control_msg() with a timeout value of 0. In some instances where the
interface is shutting down, this infinite wait results in a CPU deadlock. A
one second timeout fixes this problem without affecting any normal operations.

This bug is reported at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927786.

[ Upstream commit d0311314d00298f83aa5450a1d4a92889e7cc2ea ]

The hardware and firmware for the RTL8192EE utilize a FIFO list of
descriptors. There were some problems with the initial implementation.
The worst of these failed to detect that the FIFO was becoming full,
which led to the device needing to be power cycled. As this condition
is not relevant to most of the devices supported by rtlwifi, a callback
routine was added to detect this situation. This patch implements the
necessary changes in the pci handler, and the linkage into the appropriate
rtl8192ee routine.

In struct wl18xx_acx_rx_rate_stat, rx_frames_per_rates field is an
array, not a number.  This means WL18XX_DEBUGFS_FWSTATS_FILE can't be
used to display this field in debugfs (it would display a pointer, not
the actual data).  Use WL18XX_DEBUGFS_FWSTATS_FILE_ARRAY instead.

This bug has been found by adding a __printf attribute to
wl1271_format_buffer.  gcc complained about "format '%u' expects
argument of type 'unsigned int', but argument 5 has type 'u32 *'".
