commit b251412db99ccd4495ce372fec7daee27bf06923 upstream.

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.

[This patch is supposed to be applied in 3.1 (and maybe older) branches only.]

New kernels support newer firmware that users may try to incorrectly use
with older kernels. Display error and explain the problem in such a case
