This is the first set of patches to clean up the libertas driver, from the
tree at git://git.infradead.org/libertas-2.6.git
It removes the 'struct lbs_adapter' data structure, merging it into
'struct lbs_private', and removes a bunch of pointless unused fields
from it.
It collapses the pointless nest of functions in the transmit path, which
used to go pre_start_xmit->hard_start_xmit->lbs_process_tx->SendSinglePacket
and now can be handled entirely in libertas_hard_start_xmit() -- thus
removing the need to store information about which netdevice the packet
belongs to, so the whole IS_MESH_FRAME / {UN,}SET_MESH_FRAME thing can go
away too.
It slightly cleans up the RX code path too, along similar lines. There's
more to be done here.
It fixes radiotap mode so that you can query it without crashing, and
can even enable it and see packets, which is a shiny new feature. As an
added bonus, you can even disable it again without crashing, too.
It also fixes a bunch of other things which offended me along the way,
and makes a start at addressing the locking issues with command and data
transmission to the device, partly by moving the actual TX packet
submission to the context of the main worker thread.
There's more to be done, but it seems to make sense to merge at this point
before I embark on the next batch...
