In rtl8180/rtl8185/rtl8187se the register space is represented
using packed structure type. Register are thus accessed using a
pointer of this type.
All registers are packed toghether, and only small gaps are present.
However Rtl8187se has also some "sparse" registers, very far from
the "main register block".
It could be possible to access them by simply declare huge reserved
blocks inside the register struct (and this causes NO memory waste).
However, for various reasons, access to those "far" registers is
done with special dedicated macros, without declaring them in the
register struct.
This is done in an intricate manner, that makes code less readable
and caused static analisys tool to produce warnings.
This patch keeps the "macro" mechanism, but it changes its
implementation in a simplier and more straightforward way.

ANAPARAM3 register, defined in the rtl818x common register
struct, is accessed as 16bit by rtl8187se and as 8bit by rtl8187b.
Since I have no documentation about this, I can only stick to
the reference code and to what is known to work.
This issue has been addressed by a patch from Larry Finger
that introduces an "union", in the register struct.
In my last patch-set I applied it on the register struct, but
I forget to update rtl8187 driver too.

On currently supported HW there are four TX queues (three for normal
packets and one for beacons).
The driver uses just one TX queue, and declare to mac80211 to
support just one queue, but it allocates coherent memory for all
queues.
Furthermore the TX is code is written assumimg four queues exists,
and even if we decide to enable more queues in future, its mapping
rule to mac80211 is fixed.
This means we have memory waste on rtl8180/rtl8185, and we have also
not enough flexibility to add support for boards (rtl8187se) that
will use more queues.
This patch changes things in order to allocate coherent memory only
for the queues effectively used and it make it possible to specify
how to map hardware queues on mac80211 queues, that will be used
by rtl8187se code as soon it will be merged.
Note: even if the beacon queue is currently unused, this should
change, so I kept it.

Currently a "r8185" integer variable is used as a boolean flag to
indicate whether the card is a rtl8185 or not.
Since now the driver supports only rtl8185 and rtl8180 cards, if
"r8185" variable is zero then the card is implicitly assumed to
be a rtl8180.
Now I'm preparing to add support for a third card type (rtl8187se).
This patch changes the "r8185" flag with an enum variable to
explicitly indicate which card type we have.
I'm submitting this this patch now, even if I still have to submit
other patches that not pertain with rtl8187se support, because
IMHO it's not worth rebasing them on the current code, using r8185
flag, and then changing them back again nearly immediately.

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.

Currenly if the allocation fails, the driver's allocation routine
exits immediatly but it will return zero (success) anyway.
In this way the driver will continue initialization with buggy

This patch makes the driver's allocation routine to return
an error value and to print a complaint message when skb allocation
fails.
In this way its caller will not go further, avoinding the driver to

This patch fixes regression caused by commit a16dad7763 "MIPS: Fix
potencial corruption". That commit fixes one corruption scenario in
cost of adding another one, which actually start to cause crashes
on Yeeloong laptop when rtl8187 driver is used.
For correct DMA read operation on machines without DMA coherence, kernel
have to invalidate cache, such it will refill later with new data that
device wrote to memory, when that data is needed to process. We can only
invalidate full cache line. Hence when cache line includes both dma
buffer and some other data (written in cache, but not yet in main
memory), the other data can not hit memory due to invalidation. That
happen on rtl8187 where struct rtl8187_priv fields are located just
before and after small buffers that are passed to USB layer and DMA
is performed on them.
To fix the problem we align buffers and reserve space after them to make
them match cache line.
This patch does not resolve all possible MIPS problems entirely, for
that we have to assure that we always map cache aligned buffers for DMA,
what can be complex or even not possible. But patch fixes visible and
reproducible regression and seems other possible corruptions do not
happen in practice, since Yeeloong laptop works stable without rtl8187
driver.

In original code the old RX DMA buffer is unmapped and processed and at the end
of the isr a new buffer is mapped with pci_map_single and attached to the RX
descriptor.
If pci_map_single fails then the RX descriptor remains with no valid DMA buffer
attached.
In this condition the DMA will target where it shouldn't with obvious evil
consequences.
Simply avoiding re-arming the descriptor will prevent buggy DMA but it will
result soon in RX stuck.
This patch move the DMA mapping of the new buffer at the beginning of the ISR
(and it adds error check for pci_map_single success/fail).
If the DMA mapping fails then we do not unmap the old buffer and we re-arm the
descriptor without processing it, with the old DMA buffer still attached.
In this way we lose the currently RX-ed packet, but whenever next calls to
pci_map_single will succeed again,then the RX process will go on without stuck.
