This patch addresses a long standing issue of the driver with the
mac80211 .flush() callback. Since implementing the .flush() callback
a number of issues have been fixed, but a WARN_ON_ONCE() was still
triggered because the timeout on the flush could still occur.
This patch changes the awkward design using msleep() into one using
a waitqueue. The waiting flush() context will kick the transmit dma
when it is idle and the timeout used waiting for the event is set
to 500 ms. Worst case there can be 64 frames outstanding for transmit
in the driver. At a rate of 1Mbps that would take 1.5 seconds assuming
MTU is 1500 bytes and ignoring retries. The WARN_ON_ONCE() is also
removed as this was put in to indicate the flush timeout as a reason
for the driver to stall. That was not happening since fixing endless
AMPDU retries with following upstream commit:

Current CONFIG_BRCMDBG flag when enabled does not
necessarily enable proper pr_debug output when
DEBUG is not also enabled.
Remove BCMDBG define and just use DEBUG instead.

A new bus driver called "bcma" has been introduced into the kernel tree
which considers the Broadcom AMBA chip interconnect as a bus. Each core in
the chip is a bcma device. This commit changes brcms_mac80211.c into
a bcma device driver.

Monitor mode functionality (not functional yet) requires transmit to be
muted after ops_start() is called, transmit is unmuted when the first
interface is added.

In case the hardware crashes, a reinitialization internal to the driver
was performed. Since Mac80211 must be in the know of such an event as
well, ieee80211_restart_hw() is now called.

Timer functions were called at soft-irq level, leading to the limitation
that mutexes could not be used. Lifted this limitation by migrating to
work queues.

Parameter 'wl' is already stored in struct brcms_timer, so the number of
function parameters could be decreased.

Add the brcm80211 tree to drivers/net/wireless, and disable the version that's
in drivers/staging. This version includes the sources currently in staging,
plus any changes that have been sent out for review.
Sources in staging will be deleted in a followup patch.
