BT_CONNECT2 state and there isn't a handle associated with it.

Bluetooth: rename hci_conn_put to hci_conn_drop
We use _get() and _put() for device ref-counting in the kernel. However,
hci_conn_put() is _not_ used for ref-counting, hence, rename it to
hci_conn_drop() so we can later fix ref-counting and introduce
hci_conn_put().
hci_conn_hold() and hci_conn_put() are currently used to manage how long a
connection should be held alive. When the last user drops the connection,
we spawn a delayed work that performs the disconnect. Obviously, this has
nothing to do with ref-counting for the _object_ but rather for the
keep-alive of the connection.
But we really _need_ proper ref-counting for the _object_ to allow
connection-users like rfcomm-tty, HIDP or others.
Bluetooth: Use separate function for BCM92035 vendor setup
Trying to squeeze every single vendor setup routine into the same function
and have it assigned all the time is actually a bad idea. Especially since
the core can handle the absence of a setup routine perfectly fine.
To make this a lot simpler for future additions of vendor setup code,
split the BCM92035 setup into its own function and only assign it when
this specific device has been detected.
Doing it like this has the nice side benefit that we do not have to keep
a copy of the driver_info around.

It is possible to configure the ucode to automatically send the probe
responses to the clients after they send a probe request. At least for
WPS the userspace needs to answer the probe requests and we do not know
a way to say to the ucode to just handle the normal probe requests, so
for now no probe requests should be handled by the ucode.

brcmsmac: add support for probe response template
The ucode is able to answer probe response by itself. This writes such
a template into the specific memory. Currently the probe requests are
also send to mac80211 so there are more answers send to a requesting
client. We have to make the ucode stop sending probe requests to the
driver.

brcmsmac: remove brcms_bss_cfg->BSS
This was a read only member. The checks using BSS are replaced by
better fitting checks of the new type member.
The change in brcms_c_tbtt() was based on code from b43, in
brcms_c_ps_allowed() the same happens with BSS being true or false,
beaconing and probe responses are just needed in ap mode.

mwifiex: use fw_status register to wake up PCIe card
FW can be woken up even by accessing device registers; we need
not explicitily enable interrupts for doing this. Future PCIe
devices will not be woken up by writing to host registers.
This patch enables driver to wake up device by reading FW status
register.
Also devices with sleep cookie enabled need some more time before
proceeding with processing. Handle this by adding a delay loop.

b43: N-PHY: use more bits for offset in RSSI calibration
When calculating "offset" for final RSSI calibration we're using numbers
bigger than s8 can hold. We have for example:
offset[j] = 232 - poll_results[j];
formula. If poll_results[j] is small enough (it usually is) we treat
number's bit as a sign bit. For example 232 - 1 becomes:
0xE8 - 0x1 = 0xE7, which is not 231 but -25.
il4965_rs_initialize_lq checks to see if sta is null, however, before that
check il4965_rs_use_green dereferences sta when intializing use_green.
Avoid a potential null pointer dereference error by only calling
il4965_rs_use_green after we are sure sta is not null.

b43: A fix for DMA transmission sequence errors
Intermittently, b43 will report "Out of order TX status report on DMA ring".
When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume.
The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source
firmware; however, all versions of the firmware are affected.
This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less
than the observed value, and supplies a fake status report to skip one
header/data pair.
Not all devices suffer from this problem, but it can occur several times
per second under heavy load. As each occurence kills the unmodified driver,
this patch makes if possible for the affected devices to function. The patch
logs only the first instance of the reset operation to prevent spamming
the logs.

value smaller than 40 makes no sense, so increase the initial value.
