Clearing the per packet TX AGC for the RTL8187B device appears to
increase its overall TX power. This allows the device to associate and a
connection to be established using APs a little further away.
This is in accordance to what is done for RTL8187L devices and also what
Realtek drivers do.

Check the state of the interface on op_* function so we don't try to access
the hardware in when its off.
The mac80211 may call these in some corner cases related, for instance, to
the hardware recovery procedure. These accesses cause a kernel crash on at
least some SDIO devices, because the bus is not properly claimed in that
scenario.

The wl1271_rx function loops through packets in an aggregated buffer. Each
packet in the buffer is handled by a call to wl1271_rx_handle_data, which will
fail if skb memory allocation fails or production mode is enabled. These
failures currently prevent the rx counters to be incremented, thus causing the
rx loop to run forever.
Fix this by ignoring error codes reported wl1271_rx_handle_data function.
This essentially means that frames will be dropped in production mode, which
is the intetion, and frames will be dropped if memory allocation fails, which
is a decent way to recover from that situation.

The number of entries in the TX queue is compared to the low watermark
value each time TX completion interrupts are handled.
However, the fact that a TX completion arrived does not necessarily mean
there are any less skbs in the TX queue.
In addition, a TX completion interrupt does not necessarily mean that there
are any new available TX blocks. Thus, queuing TX work when the low
watermark is reached might not be needed.
Fix this by moving the low watermark handling to the TX work function,
and avoid queuing TX work in this case.

While wl1271_irq_work handles RX directly (by calling wl1271_rx), a different
work is scheduled for transmitting packets. The IRQ work might handle more than
one interrupt during a single call, including multiple TX completion
interrupts. This might starve TX, since no packets are transmitted until all
interrupts are handled.
Fix this by calling the TX work function directly, instead of deferring

In order to simplify the flow, and make new
enhancements easier, separate out the RXON
processing for modern AGN (5000 and newer)
from RXON processing for the older 3945 and
4965 devices. Avoid changing these old ones
to avoid regressions and move their code to
a new file (iwl-legacy.c). 4965 gets the
commit_rxon that used to be common for all
AGN devices, but with removed PAN support.
The new RXON processing is more central and
does more work in committing, so that it is
easier to follow.
To make it more evident what is split out
for legacy, split the necessary operations
for that into a new struct iwl_legacy_ops.
Those parts that still exist in the new AGN
code don't need to be parametrized.
