properties:
1. Never reassigned.
2. Address never taken
3. Not passed to a top-level macro call
4. No pointer or array-typed field passed to a function or stored in a

Declare structures having all of these properties as const.

<title>iwlegacy: use IS_ENABLED() instead of checking for built-in or module</title>

<id>4c73195edbe3a5d7e14ea549bb261cf35c29f0cc</id>
<content type='text'>
The IS_ENABLED() macro checks if a Kconfig symbol has been enabled either
built-in or as a module, use that macro instead of open coding the same.

Using the macro makes the code more readable by helping abstract away some
of the Kconfig built-in and module enable details.

<content type='text'>
Add the following to support beacon report radio measurement
with the measurement mode field set to passive or active:
1. Propagate the required scan duration to the device
2. Report the scan start time (in terms of TSF)
3. Report each BSS's detection time (also in terms of TSF)

TSF times refer to the BSS that the interface that requested the
scan is connected to.

This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

In some of the non-success return paths, the memory allocated by
iwl4965_sta_alloc_lq() in iwl4965_alloc_bcast_station() is not freed.

In particular:
 - if the card isn't ready after il4965_prepare_card_hw()
 - if the card is hardware-rfkilled

In the hardware rfkilled path, the driver enables the rfkill
interrupt. When the card is unrfkilled and this interrupt is raised
we end up calling il4965_bg_restart() which calls __il4965_up() which
calls iwl4965_alloc_bcast_station() again.

If "txq-&gt;cmd = kzalloc(...)" in il_tx_queue_init fails,
"kfree(txq-&gt;cmd[i])" in il_tx_queue_free and il_cmd_queue_free
in iwl4965_hw_txq_ctx_free will causes a null pointer dereference,
because txq-&gt;cmd is NULL at that time.

This patch fixes this problem by adding a if-check before kfree.
To avoid double free in il_tx_queue_free and il_cmd_queue_free
caused by the fixing, txq-&gt;meta and txq-&gt;cmd in error handling code
of il_tx_queue_init are assigned null values.
Otherwise, a double free will occur.
