Robert P.J. Day's recent commit ("getting rid of all casts of
k[cmz]alloc() calls") introduced a sparse warning for zd1211rw,
related to our type-checking of addresses.
zd_chip.c:116:15: warning: implicit cast to nocast type
This patch readds the type cast, it is correct.

Instead of passing our own custom 32-bit addresses around and
translating them, this patch makes all our register address constants
absolute and removes the translation.
There are two ugly parts:
- fw_reg_addr() is needed to compute addresses of firmware registers, as this
is dynamic based upon firmware
- inc_addr() needs a small hack to handle byte vs word addressing
However, both of those are only small, and we don't use fw_regs a whole
lot anyway.
The bonuses here include simplicity and improved driver readability. Also, the
fact that registers are now referenced by 16-bit absolute addresses (as
opposed to 32-bit pseudo addresses) means that over 2kb compiled code size has
been shaved off.
Includes some touchups and sparse fixes from Ulrich Kunitz.

Many of the registers written during ZD1211 HMAC initialization are
duplicated exactly for ZD1211B. Move the identical ones into a generic
part, and write the hardware-specific ones separately.

Run this:
#!/bin/sh
for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
echo "De-casting $f..."
perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
done
And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.
And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

Support for multicast adresses is implemented by supporting the
set_multicast_list() function of the network device. Address
filtering is supported by a group hash table in the device.
This is based on earlier work by Benoit Papillaut. Fixes multicast packet
reception and ipv6 connectivity:

This adds zd1211rw driver support for the softmac functionality I
added a while back. We now obey changes in basic rates, use short
preamble if it is available (but long if the AP says it's not),
and send self-CTS in the proper situations.
Locking fixed and improved by Ulrich Kunitz.

This patch includes a big cleanup of the existing unused LED code,
and adds support for controlling the LED.
The link LED will blink if the device is not associated. The LED
switches between 2 seconds on and 1 second off. If the device is
associated the LED is switched on.
The link LED also indicates packet TX. I do a little bit more led
resetting than the vendor driver, but the device works now as
expected for single LED and double LED devices.

Checking whether a mutex is not locked directly before
mutex_lock() is called, doesn't make sense. The whole point of
mutex_lock() is to block, if the mutex is locked.

Add static to 2 internal functions. Thanks goes to Adrian Bunk, who found that.
Also made some modifications to the clear functions:
After a discussion on the mailing list, I implemented this code to
have on the one hand sufficient test in debug mode, but on the
other hand reduce the overhead for structure clearing to a
minimum.
A new macro ZD_MEMCLEAR is introduced, which produces code if
DEBUG is set. Locks are not set anymore for structure clearing,
but in debug mode, there is a verification, that the locks have
not been set.
Finally, removed a misleading comment regarding locking in the disconnect
path.

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, ...).
