These drivers share one header file, but nothing else. Worse, both
drivers use the rtl8225 part with different register settings. The
results has been some ugly naming -- let's simplify that.

Current 8187B initialization misses anaparam registers restore after
8187 reset. This causes ANAPARAM register to stay zeroed out (ANAPARAM2
kept its value on my tests). To avoid this, call rtl8187_set_anaparam
right after chip reset (to be on the safe side, as it makes sure we
restore all ANAPARAM registers).

Usually you set RTL818X_CONFIG3_ANAPARAM_WRITE when you are going to
change/write ANAPARAM registers. But in current initialization of
RTL8187B there is a place where ANAPARAM_WRITE bit is set without any
ANAPARAM register being written, without reason, so remove it.

The GNTSel bit should only concern pci devices by looking at RTL8180
spec, which is not the case of 8187B. Also testing shows that trying to
set this bit fails, a subsequent read from the register after trying to
set it shows that the bit isn't set, seems the hardware ignores it,
which makes sense. This setting was a left over from Realtek sources.

Clearing the per packet TX AGC for the RTL8187B device appears to
increase its overall TX power. This allows the device to associate and a
connection to be established using APs a little further away.
This is in accordance to what is done for RTL8187L devices and also what
Realtek drivers do.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

It is checked in add_interface, but there it is easily replaced with
a check of priv->vif. If that information should become necessary,
it is available in vif->type anyway.
It is also checked in led_turn_on and led_turn_off, where I made the
substitutions as described above. Of course, these checks seem to
have been incorrect since the driver was using NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR
to indicate no interface rather than NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED.
Anyway, I think these checks may be extraneous...?

RTL8187B always needs MSR_LINK_ENEDCA flag to be set even when it is in
no link mode, otherwise it'll not be able to associate when this flag is
not set after the change "mac80211: fix managed mode BSSID handling".
By accident, setting BSSID of AP before association makes 8187B to
successfuly associate even when ENEDCA flag isn't set, which was the
case before the mac80211 change. But now the BSSID of AP we are trying
to associate is only available after association is successful, and
any attempt to associate without the needed flag doesn't work.

Over time, a whole bunch of drivers have come up
with their own scheme to delay the configure_filter
operation to a workqueue. To be able to simplify
things, allow configure_filter to sleep, and add
a new prepare_multicast callback that drivers that
need the multicast address list implement. This new
callback must be atomic, but most drivers either
don't care or just calculate a hash which can be
done atomically and then uploaded to the hardware
non-atomically.
A cursory look suggests that at76c50x-usb, ar9170,
mwl8k (which is actually very broken now), rt2x00,
wl1251, wl1271 and zd1211 should make use of this
new capability.

The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers
to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211
takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never
really had requirements on drivers for how they should use
the workqueue in consideration for suspend.
We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should
be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to
the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers
to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue:
* ieee80211_queue_work()
* ieee80211_queue_delayed_work()
These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its
suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211
flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times,
but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more
work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when
someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the
suspend cycle.
Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work
in the mac80211 stop() callback.

Within mac80211, we often need to copy the rx status into
skb->cb. This is wasteful, as drivers could be building it
in there to start with. This patch changes the API so that
drivers are expected to pass the RX status in skb->cb, now
accessible as IEEE80211_SKB_RXCB(skb). It also updates all
drivers to pass the rx status in there, but only by making
them memcpy() it into place before the call to the receive
function (ieee80211_rx(_irqsafe)). Each driver can now be
optimised on its own schedule.

The following patch implements some control over the LED on RTL8187B and
RTL8187L devices. Triggers are registered for TX and RX. Whenever the
trigger event occurs, the LED is turned off for 1/20 second, then turned
back on.
Note: For those RTL8187X devices that are built into the computer and have
a LED that is expected to be controlled with a radio switch, this patch will
not operate that LED. That will take a separate patch to be prepared later.

Current code for the RTL8187 is not returning valid retry information, thus the
rate-setting mechanism is not functioning. As a further complication, this info
is only obtained by reading a register, which cannot be read while in interrupt
context.
This patch implements the TX status return to mac80211 through the use of a
work queue.
One additional problem is that the driver currently enables the rate fallback
mechanism of the device, which conflicts with the mac80211 rate-setting
algorithm. This version of the patch disables rate fallback.

triggered when the module was sujected to a rmmod/insmod cycle.
After that was fixed, the modules would not work after the rmmod/insmod cycle
until the USB device was reset.

After the code was modified to use urb anchors ("rtl8187: Use usb anchor
facilities to manage urbs"), rtl8187 began generating an intermittent GPF
on shutdown when using SLUB with debugging enabled. Furthermore, rebooting
the system with a ping running caused a GPF every time. There are two problems:
(1) incorrect locking in the rtl8187_rx_cb() routine, a pre-existing bug that
apparently had not been triggered before, and (2) duplicate freeing of receive
skbs that was probably introduced with the change to anchors.
