In bcm43xx-softmac, the bcm43xx_stats struct contains a variable that
is no longer used. In addition, two TODO entries related to noise
processing in bcm43xx_rx have been completed, and as unused one

This patch updates the PHY initialization code for bcm43xx-softmac
to conform with recent changes in the clean-room specs at
http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net. Mostly, these changes implement
the sequence needed for chips with GPHY revision 8; however, the
patch also corrects a typo in one address, and some parts that were
missing from the spec when the initial coding was done.

Convert the bitfields in the bcm43xx DMA code to properly

Rewrite of the bcm43xx initialization routines.
This fixes several issues:
* up-down-up-down-up... stale data issue
(May fix some DHCP issues)
* Fix the init vs IRQ handler race (and remove the workaround)
* Fix init for cards with multiple cores (APHY)
As softmac has no internal PHY handling (unlike dscape),
this adds the file "phymode" to sysfs.
The active PHY can be selected by writing either a, b or g
to this file. Current PHY can be determined by reading from it.
* Fix the controller restart code.
Controller restart can now also be triggered through
echo 1 > /debug/bcm43xx/ethX/restart

Johann Uhrmann reported a bcm43xx crash and Michael Buesch tracked
it down to a problem with the new shared key auth code (recursive
calls into the driver)
This patch (effectively Michael's patch with a couple of small
modifications) solves the problem by sending the authentication
challenge response frame from a workqueue entry.
I also removed a lone \n from the bcm43xx messages relating to
authentication mode - this small change was previously discussed but
not patched in.

This patch improves the statistics returned from
bcm43xx_get_wireless_stats. The signal level comes from smoothing the
"rssi" value returned by the firmware after it is converted into a
dBm value by the driver. The quality value is a hack derived from the
smoothed level and an assumed RX_POWER_MAX of -10 dBM. The noise value
is still the one calculated from the clean-room formula. On my system,
this is roughly -65 dBm, which seems too high.
The revised version uses the ieee80211 spinlock to protect traversing
of the network list.
