Use release_firmware() to free requested resources.
According to Documentation/firmware_class/README the request_firmware()
call should be followed by a release_firmware(). Some drivers do not
however free the firmware previously allocated with request_firmware().
This patch tries to fix this by making sure that release_firmware() is used
as expected.

There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS
ZD1211 chip.
Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most
data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits
alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver
currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed
products which we will be supporting soon.
Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The
initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.
This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.
This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!
We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite
If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).

The current version of bcm43xx-softmac uses local routines to check
if a channel is valid. As noted in the comments, these routines do
not take any regulatory information into account. This patch converts
the code to use the equivalent routine in ieee80211, which is being
converted to know about regulatory information.

ok this appears to be hostap playing games... it has 2 network devices
for one piece of hardware and one calls the other via the networking
layer; there is thankfully a natural ordering between the two, so just
making the slave one a separate type ought to make this work.

This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h
would be recompiled when some git changes was made due to changes SHA1.
Split it out so we keep independent parts in separate files.

First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
the existing one is not shared. More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
requeueing.
This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
it if needed. Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
originally created.
Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
TCP, etc.). As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb. Because
of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
it's best if we don't do it.

Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.
With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.
While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.
So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.
I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.
This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond. It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.
The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.
