Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when
they want to support a custom read/write function op.  This leads to a
proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire
tree.

Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we
can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

This replacement was done with the following semantic patch:

&lt;smpl&gt;
@ open @
identifier open_f != simple_open;
identifier i, f;
@@
-int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f)
-{
(
-if (i-&gt;i_private)
-f-&gt;private_data = i-&gt;i_private;
|
-f-&gt;private_data = i-&gt;i_private;
)
-return 0;
-}

@ has_open depends on open @
identifier fops;
identifier open.open_f;
@@
struct file_operations fops = {
...
-.open = open_f,
+.open = simple_open,
...
};
&lt;/smpl&gt;

That commit intended for 3.4 renamed IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE as
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER.  Meanwhile, "carl9170: fix frame delivery
if sta is in powersave mode" added a reference to
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE in the fixes stream for 3.3.  This simple
patch fixes that merge boo-boo.

Nicolas Cavallari discovered that carl9170 has some
serious problems delivering data to sleeping stations.

It turns out that the driver was not honoring two
important flags (IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE and
IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT) which are set on
frames that should be sent although the receiving
station is still in powersave mode.

On Access Point mode, when transmitting a packet, if the destination
station is in powersave mode, we abort transmitting the packet to the
device queue, but we do not reclaim the allocated memory.  Given enough
packets, we can go in a state where there is no packet on the device
queue, but we think the device has no memory left, so no packet gets
transmitted, connections breaks and the AP stops working.

This undo the allocation done in the TX path when the station is in
power-save mode.

In the early days, this was a quite useful software
feature for testing different regdomains and chain
configurations without adding debugfs cruft into
the driver. Nowadays, the driver's phy code seems
to be stable and there's no need for it anymore.
Therefore I decided to removed altogether.

On carl9170, HW encryption is disabled on IBSS; the mac80211
software-based encryption is used instead. As mac80211 supports IBSS
RSN (per-STA GTK), claim its support in the carl9170 PHY.
