[PATCH 00/29] mwl8k update to version 0.10

[Lennert Buytenhek]

In this series, various mwl8k coding style cleanups, removal of the
usage of radio_enabled, some minor bug fixes, optimisations, and
removal of most of the driver's workqueue use.  (Against latest
wireless-testing.)

Johannes' ->configure_filter rework and ->radio_enabled removal
caused some fallout further in my series, so I've pulled latest
wireless-testing and pushed a new queue to git.marvell.com, with
the following changes from the patch set posted to the list:

- The atomic part of ->configure_filter has been split off into
  ->prepare_multicast(), so use the latter to synthesize our multicast
  firmware command, and then post it in ->configure_filter().

- Exchange the patch that changed the ->radio_enabled check to a
  IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE check for a patch that adds a IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE
  check, since mwl8k's ->radio_enabled check is gone in current
  wireless-testing.

- The patch to switch mwl8k_configure_filter() over to queue_work()
  directly is gone since ->configure_filter() can sleep now, and it's
  been replaced by a patch that just does the firmware command
  issuing (which sleeps) directly in mwl8k_configure_filter().

All in all, this patch set is a 20% reduction in file size, without
loss of functionality.  Please consider pulling.

(A future set of patches will add AP and 11n support, but that needs
some more work still.)

Johannes pointed out that this subject line is nonsense, which it
is as the patch itself implements IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE, so I've replaced
this commit message by "mwl8k: implement idle mode" and updated the
master branch (renaming the old one to master.old).  No code changes.
