Currently even if association is failed "iw link" shows some
information about connected BSS and "Tx timeout" error is seen in
dmesg log.
This patch fixes below issues in the code to handle assoc failure
case correctly.
1) "status" variable in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete() is not
correctly updated. Hence driver doesn't inform cfg80211 stack
about association failure.
2) During association network queues are stopped but carrier is
not cleared, which gives Tx timeout error in failure case

If 'iw connect' command is fired when driver is already busy in
serving 'iw scan' command, ssid specific scan operation for connect
is skipped. In this case cmd wait queue handler gets called with no
command in queue (i.e. adapter->cmd_queued = NULL).
This patch adds a NULL check in mwifiex_wait_queue_complete()
routine to fix crash observed during simultaneous scan and assoc
operations.

Currently due to following issues in the code even if device is
configured in B only, G only or BG mode using iw bitrates command,
ibss is getting created in BGN mode.
1) mwifiex_channels_to_cfg80211_channel_type() routine gives channel
type as NL80211_CHAN_HT20 for non-HT channel as well, because driver
doesn't store HT information provided by stack for the channel.
This issue is fixed by maintaining channel type information in
'adapter->channel_type'.
2) Band configuration is unnecessarily overwritten with BGN/AN while
setting channel.
This patch makes sure that "adapter->config_bands" correctly gets
modified while setting channel.

cfg_workqueue was added to notify cfg80211 that scan, connect
or disconnect is done by calling respective completion handlers.
We can avoid use of this workqueue by calling those handlers
from other places.
1) Call connect, disconnect completion handlers in their callback
functions.
ex. Call cfg80211_connect_result() in mwifiex_cfg80211_connect()
2) Call scan completion handler after parsing response of last scan
command in a queue.
After removing the workqueue, variables (assoc_request etc.) and

it's pointer in bss->priv. Hence we don't have any cleanup work

Currently global wait condition (adapter->cmd_wait_q.condition)
is used while sending synchronous commands to FW. When two threads
enter in mwifiex_send_cmd_sync() routine at the same time, both the
threads wait for their command responses. Since wait condition is
same for both, they wake up simultaneously after getting response
of 1st command. After this when a thread is waiting for command
response of 3rd command, it wakes up after getting response of 2nd
command and so on. Therefore we don't wait for the response of last
command(0xaa) during unload. Hence while next time loading the driver
command time out is seen for INIT command.
This problem is resolved by having separate wait condition flag for
each command(except scan command). Since scan command is treated
differently (by maintaining scan pending q etc.), newly defined flag
(scan_wait_q_woken) is used as a scan wait condition.

(7c6fa2a843..) scan table handling in driver is removed to
make use of cfg80211 dynamic scan table. Now driver sends
beacon buffers found in scanning directly to stack and parse
the buffer for requested BSS only during association.
Beacon buffer doesn't contain bss band information. Driver
gets it from firmware in separate tlv (chan_band_tlv).
Currently since we don't inform stack about bss bandinfo,
there is an issue with 5GHz association.
Use "priv" field of struct cfg80211_bss to store bandinfo.
