Setting tx power can be deferred during scan or changing channel.
If after that correct tx power settings will not be sent to device,
we can observe transmission problems and timeouts. Force to send
tx power settings also after partial rxon change, to assure device
always be configured with up-to-date settings.

This patch fixes 802.11n stability and performance regression we have
since 2.6.35. It boost performance on my 5GHz N-only network from about
5MB/s to 8MB/s. Similar percentage boost can be observed on 2.4 GHz.
These are test results of 5x downloading of approximately 700MB iso
image:
vanilla: 5.27 5.22 4.94 4.47 5.31 ; avr 5.0420 std 0.35110
patched: 8.07 7.95 8.06 7.99 7.96 ; avr 8.0060 std 0.055946
This was achieved with NetworkManager configured to do not perform
periodical scans, by configuring constant BSSID. With periodical scans,
after some time, performance downgrade to unpatched driver level, like
in example below:
patched: 7.40 7.61 4.28 4.37 4.80 avr 5.6920 std 1.6683
However patch still make better here, since similar test on unpatched
driver make link disconnects with below messages after some time:
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 1)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 2)
wlan1: authenticate with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f (try 3)
wlan1: authentication with 00:23:69:35:d1:3f timed out
On 2.6.35 kernel patch helps against connection hangs with messages:
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: queue 10 stuck 3 time. Fw reload.
iwlagn 0000:20:00.0: On demand firmware reload

In case of BCMA cards SPROM is located in the ChipCommon core, it is
not mapped as separated host window. So far we have met only SPROMs rev
8.
SPROM layout seems to be the same as for SSB buses, so we decided to
share SPROM struct and some defines.
For now we extract MAC address only, this can be improved of course.

The brcm80211 driver in the staging tree has a cordic function to
determine cosine and sine for a given angle. Feedback received from
John Linville suggested that these kind of functions should be made
available to others as a library function in the kernel tree. The
b43 driver also has a cordic angle calculation implemented.

Commit 06e8935feb adds an IRQ handling
optimization for single-function SDIO cards like this one, but at the
same time exposes a small hardware bug.
During hardware init, an interrupt is generated with (apparently) no
source. Previously, mmc threw this interrupt away, but now (due to the
optimization), the mmc layer passes this onto libertas, before it is ready
(and before it has enabled interrupts), causing a crash.
Work around this hardware bug by registering the IRQ handler later and
making it capable of handling interrupts with no cause. The change that
makes the IRQ handler registration happen later actually eliminates
the spurious interrupt as well.
