brcmfmac: no flow-control tlv signals when fcmode is NONE

The fcmode provided by module parameter defaults to NONE, which
means no flow-control is required. In this case flow-control
signals should not be enabled.

carl9170: remove fast channel change feature

Marco Fonseca reported a issue with his carl9170 device:
"I'm seeing a problem with the carl driver. If I change channels
repeatedly on the 2.4ghz band, monitoring (e.g. tcpdump) will
eventually halt.  I've seen this on various versions of the carl
driver/firmware (both from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7)"
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136381302428113>

The culprit was identified as "fast channel change feature" which
according to Adrian Chadd is: "... notoriously unreliable and
really only fully debugged on some very later chips."
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=136416984531380>

Therefore, this patch removes the fast channel change feature.
The phy will now always have to go through a cold reset when
changing channels, but it should no longer become deaf.

mwl8k: always apply configuration even when device is idle

Fix settings not being applied when the device is idle and the firmware
gets reloaded (because of changing from STA to AP mode). This caused
the device using the wrong channel (and likely band), e.g. a 5 GHz only
card still defaulted to channel 6 in the 2.4 GHz band when left

0xE8 - 0x1 = 0xE7, which is not 231 but -25.

b43: A fix for DMA transmission sequence errors

Intermittently, b43 will report "Out of order TX status report on DMA ring".
When this happens, the driver must be reset before communication can resume.
The cause of the problem is believed to be an error in the closed-source
firmware; however, all versions of the firmware are affected.

This change uses the observation that the expected status is always 2 less
than the observed value, and supplies a fake status report to skip one
header/data pair.

Not all devices suffer from this problem, but it can occur several times
per second under heavy load. As each occurence kills the unmodified driver,
this patch makes if possible for the affected devices to function. The patch
logs only the first instance of the reset operation to prevent spamming
the logs.

sleep confirm command we pull skb so that skb->data points ahead

response processing.
