rtl8180: make *IFS and CW tunable by mac80211, and set them in the proper place
SLOT, SIFS, DIFS, EIFS, CW and ACK-timeout registers are set in an
RF-code callback and their values are fixed.
This patch moves this off the rf-code, and introduce two new functions
that calculate these values depending by slot time and CW values
requested by mac80211.
This seems to improve performances on my setup.
Currently the ack and slot time values could be stored in a local
variable, but this patch stores it in the driver "priv" structure
because it will be useful for rtl8187se support that will be added
(hopefully) soon.

This adds stress on the memory manager. The handling of
compound pages is also less trivial for the memory manager
and not using them will make the allocation code run faster
although I didn't really measure.
Eric also pointed out that having huge buffers with little
data in them is not very nice towards the TCP stack since
the truesize of the skb is huge. This doesn't allow TCP
to have a big Rx window.
See https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2167711/ for details.

rtlwifi: rtl8723ae: rtl8723-common: Create new driver for common code
The drivers for RTL8723AE and RTL8723BE have some code in common.
This commit creates a driver for this code that will be shared, and
copies those common routines from rtl8723ae's phy code.

rtlwifi: Prepare existing drivers for new driver
A driver for the RTL8723BE will soon be added. This patch adds the
necessary parts to the common headers, and modifies the existing
drivers for those changes.

rtlwifi: btcoexist: Add new mini driver
A new driver in the rtlwifi family for the RTL8723BE will soon be added.
The bluetooth coexistence code for this device has been split into a separate
mini driver as it will be shared with other devices. This commit adds the
the headers and sources, and modifies Kconfig and Makefile to configure and
build this driver.

rtl818x: make sure TX descriptor writes are done before kicking DMA
The TX descriptors are consumed by the HW using DMA.
Even if in the driver code the TX descriptor writes appears before
the HW "dma kick" register writes, the CPU may reorder them.
If this happens, the TX may not happen at all becase the "valid"
descriptor flag may have not been set yet.
This patch adds a write memory barrier to ensures the TX
descriptor is written before writing to the HW "dma kick" register.

rtl818x: Make sure the TX descriptor "valid" flag is written by last
The TX descriptors are consumed by the HW using DMA.
Even if in the driver code the memory write that sets the "valid"
flag appears after all other writes, the CPU may reorder writes,
causing the HW to consider as valid a not-fully-written yet
descriptor.
This may cause HW incorrect behaviour.
This can happen because (AFAIK) the HW may attempt DMA
asynchronously without waiting to be kicked by the following
register write.
This patch adds a write memory barrier to enforce writes ordering.

iwlwifi: mvm: don't WARN when statistics are handled late
Since the statistics handler is asynchrous, it can very well
be that we will handle the statistics (hence the RSSI
fluctuation) when we already disassociated.
Don't WARN on this case.

ath9k_hw: tweak noise immunity thresholds for older chipsets
Older chipsets are more sensitive to high PHY error counts, and the
current noise immunity thresholds were based on tests run at QCA with
newer chipsets.
This patch brings back the values from the old ANI implementation for
old chipsets, and it also disables weak signal detection on an earlier
noise immunity level, to improve overall radio stability on affected
devices.
